hello welcome to inside scoop I'm Sumi das and joining me is Josh Lowensohn senior writer for cnet Josh thanks for being with us my pleasure we're gonna do one of our favorite things today talk about rumors forget that fact stuff that's boring boring let's go through the apple rumors because there are a lot of them and we are nearing sort of that time of the year when we're expecting new phones and this is when the rumor mill gets really hot fever pitch it is so let's start with this low-cost version of the iphone that we think is going to come out yeah there's a lot of good indications there's been leaked cases there's been all sorts of mentions of it one of them in a china labor report which is kind of crazy night they came out with this report basically from one Apple suppliers saying they found all these issues but the thing everybody took away from it is that they said oh they're making this cheaper iPhone too it's like oh my god okay so that's what they came out with but yeah they're working on something that's that's a little bit cheaper that they can sell alongside the normal price iPhone and this is specifically for countries like China and India work a lot of the market buys phones at full costs so something like a six or seven hundred dollar iPhone over there doesn't make a lot of sense yeah I've heard my cousin's complained who live in India about how more how much more expensive it is to buy an iPhone over there so this one might cost somewhere in the range of do we know I've heard three hundred dollars $300 is a pretty good number right now they're selling older models of the iPhone like the four for about four hundred dollars so this would come in considerably less expensive and there's another rumor that this low-cost version won't have Siri yeah and I don't quite buy this one and there's a good reason for that they pretty much pushed out Syrian to all their devices it's really become a core part of iOS they're kind of pushing some stuff into the future for cars next year and to not have that features really going to limit who would want to buy this and for something so simple it gives them a lot of data it tells them a lot about the customers and it ties into all these other services so the fact that they would somehow remove that at this point is very sketchy ok the next rumor I wanted to talk to you about Apple gives something potentially this low-cost iPhone but they might take something away the 4s Mike go bye-bye yeah it's been kind of a thing that they keep the last two models around so when they came out with a five they had the four in the rest right it's kind of weird to keep something like the forests around it still uses the older 30 pin connector and they moved everything else to lightning I think if you're someone looking to buy a new phone it's kind of weird to think about that when you're buying accessories like something for your car maybe a music stand that still uses the connectors instead of Bluetooth and all sorts of cases I mean everything's kind of pushing that direction so it makes sense to get rid of that of course that's the version that I have then the high end of the spectrum the 5s that we expect to come out yeah the rumors have been very slim on this one and I think that's because it's kind of an exciting the big ones of course are the usual things that come along with the s model which is kind of fastest interim so yeah a faster process or a better camera maybe some improve software features I mean it's really kind of but not a radical change no and I don't think that's what the ass has ever been about it's just kind of been about tightening things up and improving things where they can and the potential date September 10 yeah so this is reported earlier by All Things D has been you know very good source about that stuff September tense a good time they did the iphone 4s in October and then last year is a similar data of September 11 so it's a good time for them to release something it comes out right in time for the holidays and it has plenty of time to ramp up and colors this is a something that I find it hard to believe that they're going to introduce a champagne gold 5s but you say it's gonna happen yeah and it's been kind of unclear whether it's the 5s or the 5c which is the cheaper model okay hopefully if she doesn't see anything for cheap that would not be a very signature Apple no but I think there's been a lot of push especially if you look what Motorola is doing with the Moto X where you can pick basically any color you want for any part of the phone there's a lot more pressure for them do something besides white and black yeah so iPads now let's talk about iPads what rumors do we have there let's start with the mini iPad first sure the big rumor for the mini iPad which is a new screen mm-hmm the retina screen of course that ship with an older resolution one and you can still kind of see the pixels so there's been a lot of expectation the analysts haven't really been sure if that screens even ready yet it's kind of high-tech very cutting-edge stuff to get displayed that small with that many pixels so apparently they're ready with that and that's something bloomberg reported earlier this week there's also a report of a larger slimmer iPad a full-size one I think one of the reasons it wasn't sessle in the last couple models is because it needs a really big battery yeah and a lot of the display technologies better the processor technology has gotten better things don't take as much powers they usually do so that's one of the reasons for the thinness okay all right so the rumors are going to keep coming we'll still keep talking about them and then when the date eventually happens we will confirm or deny them absolutely Josh thank you so much my pleasure for inside scoop I'm Sumi das thanks for watching
