2015-12-17
what's up Brian song here and welcome to the apple pie for the good and bad inside the world of Apple now did you know Apple has a top secret lab well it was a secret until now see a new report from Bloomberg says Apple opened the secret laboratory in northern Taiwan earlier this year to develop new technologies for thinner lighter and brighter displays for Apple devices the facility is located in a remote science park with no external apple brandy and the Bay gay has recruited people from local display makers AU Optronics and Qualcomm to help develop new LCD and OLED technologies I'm also hoping apple has this top secret battery lab somewhere that we don't know about otherwise we're still stuck with this who is so ugly now echoing the Bloomberg report digit times as Apple is also developing flexible OLED display tech for idevices at the newly discovered lab now this secret lab sounds good but we won't be reaping any of its benefits in the near future that's after KGI securities claims the next iPad air three will be released in the first half of 2016 but is unlikely to get a 3d touch display because of production issues in the supply chain Apple Insider corroborate supports Apple is developing a new pressure sensitive display that can be scaled up to ipad screen sizes but also confirms the tech won't be ready for the release of the ipad air three or even around the time of the iphone 7 so it could be at least a year out now Apple can't scale the current iphone 6s is 3d touch to something like a 9.7 inch display and that's why they're working on a comparable tech for larger screen sizes even for something like the twelve point nine inch iPad pro and you all know how I feel about that Pro I'll write an apple music news a media research report estimates that Apple music will have around eight million paying subscribers by the end of this year and that number is expected to more than double to nearly 20 million at the end of 2016 it won't catch spotify with currently over 20 million subscribers and 75 million users but that number would solidify Apple music as the number two player in streaming music Apple's music services also finally getting support on sonos with a public beta the sonos controller app was updated with beta support for the streaming service giving users access to their music library and playlists for streaming in multiple rooms and you know what that's a good Apple and if you're an apple retail employee the Cupertino Fruit Company is gifting its staff a free nine months subscription for Apple music that's in addition to the pair of your beats headphones they hooked up staff with for the holidays now there are no confirmed reports if you can get hired for the holiday season get your free stuff and then peace out kind of like how I do samples at costco alright exclusive content is a big deal with any streaming service and this one is huge for Apple music and fans of Taylor Swift see on December twentieth a new backstage concert film called the 1989 world tour live will be available exclusively on Apple music you know if you're someone who's into that kind of thing I know there are a lot of Apple biters who force their significant others to watch us so trust me I've met them so I felt like I should at least give you a sneak peek of the trailer so yeah there it is I wonder what would happen if I invited the most amazing artists in the world to come out with me and perform on my stage dammit okay cool oh man I wonder what it would be remade you have to see this so I lost in it every not arena oh my gosh looks like it here Oh hit my head it would be oh my god that whole tray over Taylor I love you too quick we know okay so yeah you know whatever to their own all right that's gonna do for this week's show but a quick shout out to my Apple by Dirk I'll from Houston Texas who found my Apple watch after it slipped off my wrist in the airport in Vancouver you tracked me down and gave it back to me right here true story so if you still want to be a part of the show send your emails and you're positive or brutal feedback to the apple by to cnet com or tweet me a brian Tong and you might find yourself here as we wrap up 2015 thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for the bite of the Apple
