what's going on Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple the hottest story of the week that is bugging the crap out of many iOS 11.1 users is the letter AI bug that autocorrect when users type and I buy itself to either an exclamation point or replaces it with the letter A followed by a question mark in a box I know you've seen it now I have the bug on my phone but it isn't affecting all users just a whole lot of them and mine didn't even show up until a couple days ago but it can really water down a message you know for that's special someone or completely ruined the lyrics to your favorite song heck even Apple isn't immune to it see that one's too good we got to give props to Jeremy Burch for that one legend you squash Apple has just fixed the bug with the release of iOS 11 point one point one so take a moment and go get it now back to our regularly scheduled programming but seriously though how did this get through like it's been going on for a week has the quality control dropped off that bad like this is bad and more than worthy of a bad apple but there's a good Apple coming from the latest public beta releases as well the introduction of Apple pay cash for both iOS 11.2 and watch OS 4.2 now some beta testers and developers are seen it appear as an option in the messages app apples been testing it internally with their own employees recently but think of Apple pay cash as Apple's attempt to take down venmo but just for Apple users and let's be real integrating it into the blue bubbled messages app that's got ahold of you like blue crystal meth Apple pay cash is gonna be just fine now we expect a general release for both the bug fix and Apple pay cash very soon all right the iPhone 10 is only been out for about a week but who knew that an emojis were going to be such a big deal and I'll be the first to admit I was the number one hater I mean they're cute and all but to tout them is one of the reasons to get a new iPhone 10 no and it's not like I was going to use them regularly until Oh oh gee karaoke like how could you avoid social media without seeing these things they were everywhere and you know what they're damn fun like this one due to copyright issues we were unable to use your favorite artists like Bruno Mars or Taylor Swift instead we have hand-picked this fine folk song from our music library so we don't get sued so I take it all back an emojis are amazing and emojis are for everyone but they still aren't worth it for a $1,000 phone ok the iPhone 10 has been making the rounds and DxO mark has given it its highest mark for photo performance on a phone with a score of 101 that's really impressive with an 89 for video and a 97 overall that leaves the pixel to still as the top rated smartphone camera with an overall score of 98 a photo performance score of 99 and a video score of 96 now you can check out mkbhd s awesome explainer of the DxO mark scoring system which is a weighted mix of scores and isn't based out of a scale of 100 so if you're wondering how good is the iPhone TENS camera it's the cream of the crop in fact it's so good that people on Twitter are complaining that the selfie camera is a little too good like this girl and this guy and this girl too and okay yeah not gonna lie that's pretty bad now display mate has also put the iPhone 10 through their usual display technology shootout and now calls the iPhone 10 the most innovative and high-performance smartphone display that they have ever tested display mate also congratulate samsung Display for developing and manufacturing the outstanding OLED display hardware now the 10 matched or set new smartphone display records for the highest a ballute color accuracy highest full screen brightness for oled smartphones highest full screen contrast rating in ambient light and highest contrast ratio it also had the lowest screen reflectance and small its brightness variation with a viewing angle wow that's a good Apple that's right now Apple even took preventive measures after all the negative press from the pixel to excel screen to issue statement that the iPhone 10 will also have shifts in color and human looking at it at an off angle and can't experience image retention or burnin over time but they've engineered their super Retina display to reduce the effects of OLED burnin and we still haven't seen any burnin issues reported a week in after the iPhone tends release so the iPhone 10 display is great and Samsung is just as happy about that not only did they help build it they also make about one $10 for every iPhone 10 sold so what do you do when your business partner drops our latest phone that will add billions of dollars to your bottom line you put out a commercial called growing up that mocks them for being late to the party with features like being waterproof or doing something dumb like taking away the headphone jack but then they went in for the jugular with this guy in line for the iPhone 10 so I'll do this for the Apple fanboys who are going to get mad if I don't defend them come on son why you got to be like that that's a bad apple you know I don't even really care it's just a funny ad all right you know I love the iPad pro and a new report from Mark durman and Bloomberg says Apple is working on a new high-end iPad to be ready as early as 2018 that will bring slimmer edges and the iPhone 10's face ID facial recognition system the next-gen iPad is unlikely to include an OLED display but at least one new iPad model will have a screen size similar to the 10.5 inch iPad pro and removing the physical home button will allow more of the screen to go to the edges like the iPhone 10 an OLED screen would not only drive up costs significantly if it was implemented but Samsung would once again be its only supplier with our other OLED partners unlikely to have the ability to produce larger tablet size OLED screens for Apple next year according to the report now Apple is also preparing a new Apple pencil stylus and new software features for using the pencil with this iPad as well and another one from gurmann and Bloomberg Apple's eyeglasses might be here before you even know it the big a is targeting to have the technology ready for an augmented reality headset in 2019 and could ship it as early as 2020 now the report says Apple plans for the headset to have its own display running on a new chip and a new operating system Apple has aggressively built out its expertise in augmented reality with numerous hirings and they launched our AR KITT platform which has already brought us some really killer apps and will continue taking off as developers start building apps for the iPhone 10 now CEO Tim Cook even told the independent recently anything you would see on the market at anytime soon would not be something any of us would be satisfied with and chief design officer Johnny I've told a tech panel last month that there are certain ideas that we have and we are waiting for the technology to catch up with the idea that's according to the report now the Apple byte even got a sneak peak of their marketing material that Apple is working on right here oh come on Apple can you just get this fix out to the public already sheesh all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can email us at the Apple bite at cnet.com or tweet me at Brian Tom thanks so much for watching it will catch all next time for another bite of the Apple
