what's happened in brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple by for everything inside the world of Apple now we're back after a vacation break in all the madness from CES which we'll get to but first let's get to the show and the big story this week Apple will refund at least thirty 2.5 million dollars to customers in a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over in-app purchases now the refund is specific to purchases made by kids without parental consent like the horror story in 2011 about an eight-year-old girl that racked up a 1400 dollar bill buying Smurf berries in the smurfs village app now i would argue that you can't put a price on Smurf berries now the FTC agreement will also make apple change its billing methods to make sure it receives very clear Express informed consent from users before a nap charges them now originally entering a password to approve an initial in-app purchase would allow a 15 minute window of time to make additional purchases and in this case 15 minutes could save you fourteen hundred dollars the FTC said Apple had received tens of thousands of complaints of unauthorized purchases like the little girl who spent two thousand six hundred dollars on tap pet hotel seriously who would want to spend that much on this app or five hundred dollars on tiny zoo friends oh it's so cute totally worth it and maybe I should complain that my child spent over two hundred dollars playing the injustice gods among us mobile game just to unlock a limited Superman prison costume that I can only play on the console version now obviously I think Apple should close that window of time for additional purchases and they've already been refunding them made without parents permission since last year but let's be honest maybe some parents shouldn't give their itunes pasco to their kids and if you've ever spent more than two hundred dollars on in-app purchases on any app I'm giving you a bad apple unless it's for a Superman prison costume all right now what would an apple by show be without more rumors display research chimes in with Intel from their sources to piggyback on claims that will finally see a bigger screen for the iphone 6 and a new ipad model they predict an iphone 6 with a 5.5 inch screen with a 1920 x 1080 resolution and 401 pixels per inch now they're also jumping on the ipad pro bandwagon claiming we can expect to see a 12 point nine inch ipad with a 27 32 x 2048 resolution and a 265 pixels per inch while other reports continue to claim a 12 point nine inch retina ipad is in production and may launch in 2014 they are also supporting rumors claiming that the iWatch might ship in two sizes 1.3 inches for women and 1.6 inches for men with both sporting a 320 x 320 resolution and flexible AMOLED screens and in one more rumors story for the iphone 6 a report from digit times says Apple's fingerprint sensor supplier TSMC is preparing to begin production on sensors for the iphone 6 in the second quarter of 2014 and while you guys are at it why don't we get those going for the iPads to now we didn't have a show for a while because we were working our butts off at CES 2014 in Las Vegas now Apple doesn't go to the show but we had one of our best looking correspondents check it out for us thanks Brian alright guys we're here at the CES 2014 show floor so let's go and see what we can find in the ilounge pavilion alright guys we're here with Patrick O'Neill he's the CEO of olloclip that popular lens attachment and you can't have a few new things here that you're showing off at the show right absolutely yeah we've got our new macro lens are three in one macro lens so this is a more macro lens than we've had before so we've got three lens elements on each side which gives you a more clear picture and you just drop it on the hoods set the focus diffuse the light and collect and diffuse it so you can see it's just so easy where before with the macro lens you had to sort of go in and out to get the focus what you still do on three-dimensional objects with sponge easy with this lens and on the flat objects it's just super easy and then what's the retail price for this out of seventy dollars you also have another a little extra something something here yeah we've got something everybody's been wanting since 5s came out old lens for the 5s so up yeah I got my phone and I think you know that might be a nice little fit they're all gold everything I'm not sure I'm getting that back now we know that beacons are kind of going to be a big thing coming into 2014 and i'm here at stick and finds booth and this is basically a bluetooth vegan it's a sticker tracker that you can stick on anything we have these different kits that are available now for sale 4999 for two of these guys it also comes with an app that allows you to see how far it is it has a 150 foot range distance but you can put this anywhere on like your luggage a shoe or whatever this is a really clever idea and you know something that we're gonna see be a big thing and this little beacon the stick and find can also send out a signal or noise when you want to locate it another really cool thing treasure hunt this is a game that I want to play where's this treasure where's this excuse me excuse me ha ha ha ha ha now in the ilounge pavillon we know there are plenty of cases more than you can imagine but we're here with laura olson here with rock-forming tell us a little bit about this unique case yeah so rokform we manufacture protective cases that are bountiful so our cases mount a couple different ways first way is there's grooves on the back of the case so all you have to do is line it up with the teeth of your accessory and just give it a quarter click turn and then you're mounted and ready to go the other way they're mountable is there is a rare earth magnet on the back installed in the grip couldn't couldn't you just call it a magnet does that make it sound actually really cool when it's a rare earth magnet yes it does make it cooler which is what we're trying to go for here so yeah rare earth magnet it was about 10 pounds of force but any magnetic surface you can just stick it right on to and it will stick okay your fridge toolbox forever so we see here like bike handlebars but also there is like a baby stroller yeah there's a whole line of interchangeable accessories you can get the bike mount to the you know Universal stroller mount any accessory you want to mount your phone on and then how much are these going to be so the stroller mount with the case comes included for forty nine dollars and that stroller mount is right back there my mom come on trust me guys having a nanny it makes it a lot easier to get around and the show really it's about
