what's happening brian Tong here and welcome to the apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple this week it's a little iphone 6 apple and beaten a black mamba in cupertino no joke alright let's get to the show in the latest iPhone rumor making noise from nine to five Mac claims Apple may be making a jump to a sharper 1704 x 960 resolution from the 5 s's 1136 x 640 that would be compatible with future iphone models now on the rumoured 4.7 inch phone that would result in a display with a 416 pixel per inch resolution with the same 16 by 9 ratio as the iphone 5s 5c and five while the larger 5.5 inch iphone at that same resolution would carry a 356 PPI that would still fall under Apple's definition of a retina resolution now with these larger new screens in play if Apple is keeping the phone at its current resolution it would drop below the retina criteria and it's important to keep them compatible with current apps and make the transition easy on developers now the report also says Cupertino has been testing phones at this resolution but it's still not known for sure if this will be the final one that Apple sticks with all right we've seen plenty of mock up to the 4.7 inch iPhone these days but the first comparison shots of a physical mock-up of the 5.5 inch screen iPhone appeared on rocketnews24 base on the mac fan leaked design drawings and I'm sorry that thing looks so huge and big even if it's skinny now I'm down with the 4.7 inch screen but I don't want anything to do with that phablet thingy alright and if you're looking for any credible signs when the next iPhone is dropping German website I fund says Apple is looking to restrict vacation days for german retail employees this sep tember ahead of the likely lunch for the iphone 6 and more this has been an established policy over the past few years and last year Apple restricted vacation time during the last two weeks of September for the 5s and 5c now I'd like to apologize to the Apple employees who might not be able to celebrate mexican independence day on sep tember the 16th elephant appreciation day on the 22nd or my personally culturally relevant confucius day let's see what we got here guys you have an ambitious nature and may make a name for yourself right here thanks for food fish now we told you about a black mamba siding and we were lying the world's deadliest basketball player kobe bryant aka the black mamba was spotted inside apples Cupertino campus with his wife and according to reports Kobe met up with Johnny I've with the meeting centered around upcoming products now why is this important well one because Kobe and Apple are two my favorite things and to Kobe and Apple are two of my favorite things but think about it right now Kobe knows more than almost anyone does and maybe the Black Mamba will be part of Apple's new wearable campaign doing this uh and he did that to my warriors my dubs all right in iOS 8 news reports say Apple is likely to bring split screen functionality for specific apps to Apple's iPad in iOS 8 yes please the feature will allow users to run and interact with two ipad apps at once taking a page from Microsoft Surface now this concept video from Sam Beckett gives you a rough idea of how it could be executed and it allows specific apps to interact with each other more easily now this new feature along with the new health book application updated maps and more are expected at WWDC during the June second keynote but they could also be pushed out in a later iOS 8.1 update now you've heard about the rumor deal where Apple is buying beats for 3.2 billion dollars in its expect to be finalized next week according to recode dr. dre pretty much confirmed it with Tyrese in this video clip they need to update before that let's just change in a big way oh my oh my first big in there in hip hop right here from the best coast believe oh there were a lot of bends in that video and come on guys this is a children's show now beats co-founders dr. dre and jimmy iovine are expected to take on senior roles at apple once the deal is done and everyone has their own ideas if this is a good deal or a bad deal and that's going to really play itself out over time but this is how Apple might be looking at it beat sells over a billion dollars in headphones every year at high margins and that's a good thing but this isn't just about headphones Apple has been criticized for not having a music subscription service and yes beats didn't really create the most popular one in fact reports claim they only have about 110,000 active users and that's nothing compared to Spotify is roughly 10 million paying subscribers worldwide but beats has secured the licensing deals and all Apple has to do really is roll this into their own subscription service but lastly Apple really hasn't had a creative artistic mind since SJ passed away and Dre and Iovine can bring some of that unique music mojo to the table that no one else on their staff has in its leadership roles plus it's big bucks it's a big deal but one thing we do know is that an apple a day still keeps the doctor away you know I'm mopping with the d-o-double-g straight off the killer's recent CPT unless it's offering 3.2 billion dollars and it's official flappy bird is coming back in august according to creator dong un during a CNBC interview he said the new version of flappy bird will be a multiplayer game that is less addictive don't that's the worst idea ever less addictive bad apple then don't drop sneak peek at his new game with this screenshot he said he's making a new game so people can forget about flappy bird for a while and again the worst idea ever don't you killing me but come on I've got nothing but love for someone who made a game that rakes in over fifty thousand dollars a day alright guys that's going to do for this we show keep sending me your emails to the Apple by to cnet com or tweet me tweet tweet tweet thanks so much for watching i'm brian Tong it will catch you all next week for another bite of the Apple
