2017-10-19
what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple bite for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple there's plenty of stuff to talk about but let's get you all caught up with some of the latest iPhone news first now we've been hearing reports that the total number of expected iPhone 10 units has been decreasing for its launch because of the difficulty of manufacturing its complex true depth camera but the latest report from digit Times says the iPhone 10 is on schedule to meet the 2017 production demand which is different from the actual consumer demand now reports even say Foxconn has started shipping its first finished iPhone 10 units but don't be fooled this might be the hardest iPhone to get on launch day even if you preorder on the 27th which is about a week away now KGI Security's minke quote says all of the phones Apple plans to produce now in 2018 are likely to abandon the touch ID sensor in favor of facial recognition Kuo was also the first one who reported that it would take two to three years for Android to match the camera for Apple's face ID that's right Android will still be trailing on an emojis now he predicted all upcoming 2018 phones will feature the minimal bezel design of the 10 and we will no longer see any new models with the iPhone 8 and a Plus design we've also seen patent applications for this and according to the investor Apple is mulling over the idea of launching an iPhone with a stylus who wants a stylus you have to get them and put them away and you lose him yuck nobody wants a stylus yeah it looks like Apple does now the report says it would be a new iteration of the Apple pencil obviously and the report says Apple has been recently working on a new iPhone that comes with a digital pen with the target launch of 2019 no and if we look even further down the road the investor is also reporting that Apple is working with LG to develop an iPhone with a foldable display Apple is said to be working with LG so Samsung can't get a hold of their sensitive tech we've seen foldable displays at the Consumer Electronics Show and rumors about a foldable Apple phone have gone as far back as December of 2016 so this isn't a surprise but guess what it's happening you know what's also happening on your iPhone the nude app touted as the sexiest app ever now check this out the app automatically scans your iPhone for nudes moving them to a protected vault in the app and then deleting them from both your camera roll and iCloud like I don't have any nudes on my phone but I wanted to do some more research on this for you now the app uses Apple's core ml framework M L stands for machine learning so the images stay on your phone they're never moved to any server and the machine learning image recognition can happen on the device so how does it actually learn it scrapes naughty sites now nude is a free download from the App Store but requires a $0.99 per month in-app purchase let's see hey guys that you got an extra buck right now or anything oh thanks alright let's take a break from the studio with one of the best-looking correspondence I've ever seen thanks Brian that's really nice of you alright guys and gals so check this out you know it I travel all the time and normally I just throw all my cords and cables and accessories in my bag and it becomes like janky tumbled mess and this is called the bento stack and what makes it different and unique so check this out this is think of it as like a bento box for your gadgets and devices and accessories I'm gonna take off this elastic of piece right here because that's what keeps it together but it's a stackable multiple compartmental carrying organizer for your gadgets this top here it can hold your Apple pencil but I didn't even realize this guess what boom I could stand my iPhone on it like an iPhone so you have that but also these different compartments you could put in your chargers your cables these are slidable and adjustable compartments as well it just makes it easy to organize one of the compartments also has or these dividers it has a slot for two Apple watch wrist straps which I do rock so overall I just thought it was something that surprised me it was simple and then I'm like hey I'm gonna look out for you all on the Apple byte to try and hook you up so what they've done is this case stackable case with two compartments and two dividers normally cost fifty dollars so if you go to this link down there we've got an Apple byte nation special for it it's coming out soon sometime in December so there you have it look you these multiple compartments dividers I'm just like stacking it back up making it look fancy and you know what um before we go nice haircut Brian thanks Brian that's really nice of you to I'll write in some more serious news you've probably heard of the widespread crack Wi-Fi bug that makes nearly all devices Apple Android and really millions of devices on a Wi-Fi network susceptible to this wpa2 Wi-Fi standard exploit it allows an attacker unauthorized access to the network effectively opening up the possibility of exposing credit card information personal passwords messages emails and practically any other data on your device sounds like fun now Apple says they've already patched the vulnerabilities and the exploits have been addressed in the current iOS TV OS watch OS and Mac OS betas that are available for developers and will be rolling out to consumers soon lucky for our good friend Mac O's High Sierra you're safe and in the Apple management quote of the week Apple's Eddy Cue senior VP of Internet services and software was interviewed by Indian outlet live mint and when asked about how some critics believe Apple's pace of innovation has slowed over the past decade here's what he said no way first of all the iPhone is ten years old that is the last decade the iPad came after that and the watch came after that so I disagree vehemently with that and I think we've been incredibly innovative that doesn't even take into account the work that has been done on the Mac iOS and Mac OS from that standpoint where I think we've led the market now when you think of the products that we've built over time you own a lot of them and you just assume that every year was a new product but it wasn't you can't do revolutionary new products every two months or six months or whatever they take time you tell him Eddie but what was Eddy Cue supposed to say yes we have slowed down now look the iPhone and iPad were s J's babies and was the Apple watch really innovative I mean I love the Series three but I'll just leave it at that right there and since everyone has an opinion and we like to share them let us know in the comments and I will definitely read ones next week that don't call me a ladyboy and speaking of innovation this is a perfect time to wish the Mac Mini a happy third birthday that's right the current Mac Mini is three years old since the last time they updated it yeah you know that was coming that's a bad apple so here's to 2018 all right let's talk our NBA 2k 18 winners from last week the NBA season is here and I am pumped even if my Golden State Warriors lost the first game of the season but you know what I think we'll have a real chance at the title if we just get a few more pieces now the correct answer for last week's show for what we dropped on a home pod was an emoji boo-boo so congrats go out to my Twitter winners michael LED good peter ponte jr and smallwood oh nine one eight and over email Steven Estrada Mickey Shi and Miles Kane who said hey Tong I know you'd be putting that poo poo emoji all over that home pod just like you poopoo on them haters that's right I do do but there were so many of you who just responded on the youtube comment section when I asked you to tweet me or email me and then a lot of you didn't even tell me which version you wanted you have to listen people we all have to listen to each other yeah I just went deep all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can email us at the Apple bye to see Netcom or tweet me at Brian Tong thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for
