Apple Byte - iPhone 5S details and delays

2013-04-25
the following episode of Apple bite may contain scenes that some viewers may find disturbing like Brian tongs face and are intended for a slightly more mature audience it's such a great day and like I told them that's not delivery that's digital that makes me warm baby what's up get a room right what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy the show where a piece of fruit is the number-one topic now lots of news this week and we start off with the official announcement from the big 8 that WWDC 2013 is happening June the 10th through the 14th in San Francisco at the Moscone Center now last year brought the debut of the MacBook Pro with Retina display but Tim Cook hinted that we won't see any new hardware anytime soon during Apple's recent earnings report he said our teams are hard at work on some amazing new hardware software and services we can't wait to introduce this fall and throughout 2014 and we've been aching for just something new but Cook said fall not summer but that time of the season where leaves change colors and fall so maybe we get a peek at iOS 7 and OS 10 10.9 Hello Kitty and that just might be it you're just gonna have to be patient and yes it leaves plenty of time for analysts to make up even better rumors that's also the same week as e3 2013 so I have to decide will I be playing with the new Xbox and Playstation with booth babes giving me constant attention or will I be here for you the Apple biters for iOS 7 and no new hardware you guys these are tough personal promise people now we mentioned Apple's recent earnings report and the Cupertino kids were fueled by strong iPhone and iPad sales that were 88% and 151 percent better than the year before but Apple reported their first year over year too in profits in a decade and lower expectations for this quarter with the lack of new hardware you know whatever they're holding back better be good now we did get some other nuggets from the Q&A session Tim Cook left the door open for the possibility of a larger iPhone saying he believes the iPhone 5 still has the best display in the industry and competitors have made trade offs to ship a larger display you know ones like a larger viewing area less reflective display on a much higher pixel density now Cook adds that Apple will not ship a larger display while these trade offs exist or really until the next iPhone comes out and let's be honest here 3.5 inches was the perfect size to Apple before 4 inches was perfect to Apple and the next size will be even more perfect term but apples behind here and fall means there's a huge window of time for Android phones to make some ground now Cook was also asked about mobile payments and NFC functionality has been a rumored feature but Apple's CEO said I think it's in its infancy I think it's just getting started just out of the starting block he's right and mobile payments still have tons of hurdles but remember there used to be a company that came up with inventive solutions for technology and just put it out there I think the name of that company was Apple yeah no I think it was so hopefully they can show us something in the fallen that's after Google shows off what they've been working on in May all right let's take a quick break for our App of the Week this one's just a fun one I know a lot of you love Instagram but you should try out two apps called insta

meant by your room see like I said works like a charm alright let's get to some other stories we showed you rumored iPad 5 cases from tactus comm last week and now they've added a picture of the inside of the rear shell of the iPad 5 they should just build this thing already now they also revealed an image of the alleged rear shell for the rumored lower-cost iPhone the part appears to be plastic and consistent with how other sites have described the design with a flat back and curved edges tactus claims it will launch on October 15th but we'll see how that holds up Reuters also reports that the next-gen iPhone is potentially facing delays after manufacturers expected to start production in June their Taiwan's supply chain source claims that Apple was trying to find a coating material that did not interfere with their fingerprint sensor technology believed to be part of the next-gen design and this may be one of the reasons for the delay Reuters also says a Japanese supplier has told them small-scale production for the lower-cost iPhone will begin sometime in May and Reuters adds the lower-cost iPhone will use the same four inch display as the iPhone 5s but will lack the fingerprint sensor and have a plastic case all right guys let's get to our giveaway winners for a copy of injustice gods among us the sickest game out there right now now we had over 700
