2017-06-22
what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple bite for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple let's get to the show and we start with the iPhone but not the iPhone eight rumors we're talking about the original iPhone now the next iPhone will celebrate its 10th anniversary and iOS chief Scott Forstall who was fired after the whole Apple Maps Tabaco remember that he gave a rare interview at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View where he talked about how the iPhone came to be and it's not really what you expect the iPhone had a very circuitous route by itself it began because Steve hated this guy at Microsoft that that is the actual origin of it and it wasn't built cuz he was tarted to like be old by this point uh and he came back one time after seeing this guy and that guy was talking about how Microsoft had Saul computing it solves like net uh like a laptop computer or they were going to do laptop or tablet computing and they're gonna do with pens and he just like shoved in Steve's face the way they were going to like rule the world with their new tablets with their pens and Steve came in on Monday and and there was a set of expletives uh and and then it was like let's show them how it's really done it's like the first thing is they're idiots you don't use a stylus you know it's cumbersome you lose it you're always like picking it up and putting it down you were born with ten styluses yep that sounds like the SJ we know forced all said originally before the iPhone was ever discussed Steve Jobs wanted a tablet with capacitive touch and multi-touch I remember one of the first demos of this you walked into a room there's a giant giant table there's a projector on the ceiling and you can like you see a photo or something on on the table and you can move your finger around the table and it would move the photo super cool wouldn't fit in you know your your bathroom much less your pocket or your your you know baguette I guess let's have it uh but the moment you saw that you knew this was the way to go like that was that was cool now in another cool nugget he said the iPhone came about when he was eating lunch with jobs and they noticed everyone around them using their phone and Steve said do you think we could take that demo we're doing with the tablet and multi-touch and shrink it down to something big enough or small enough to fit in your pocket could be a phone size with that same touch technology so I went back to the design team and and they they took and carved out a little corner of it and made this very simple demo pretty sure his boss who did it and bosses is one of the best and he made saying it was a a simple list of names and you would with your finger you would drag along and probably add the rubber banding at all I'm just magical you dragged along and you tap on a name and it would slide across and reveal the card so phone number email you tap on a phone number I would say calling wasn't calling wasn't doing anything but it said calling uh the second you saw this demo you knew this was a future there was no question this is the way that a phone had to behave Steve saw it and said okay put the tablet on hold let's build a phone now there's plenty more from the interview that you can check out on the computer History Museum's facebook page or youtube channel with lots of other great stuff there ok let's get to the latest iPhone 8 chatter Reuters reports component orders for the iPhone 8 are creating shortages of DRAM and NAND chips worldwide making it difficult for competitors to secure their own supplies LG has been forced to push orders through earlier by month and component shortages are responsible for limiting the production of the Nintendo switch so all of you Nintendo switch fans still waiting for yours you could blame Apple now the demand is expected to exceed supply until sometime in 2018 and Sony is also prioritizing orders from Apple for their camera sensors as well ok do you want to see more purported iPhone parts I know you do the leakers are back at it again with more shots of the front panel I'm from Benjamin Gaskin and even a video clip from slash leaks with the iPhone cutouts for the front-facing camera and other sensors like an ambient light proximity and a potential 3d sensing module maybe the final design will be different but it would look so much cleaner to make that a single black bar across the top I don't think I'm the only one who wants that either and even website MacRumors has hints of the purported iPhone 8 showing up in their web analytics for specific devices also running iOS 11 you know with September just around the corner all right you know who's really tired of all these leaks Apple in fact Apple had an internal briefing for its employees called stopping leakers keeping confidential at Apple how do we know this well a recording from it was leaked online by the website the outline hah you just can't make this stuff up the briefing was held for around 100 employees lasted for about an hour and was led by Apple's best security and communications experts now when leaks occur they hunt down the sources to relay that info back to Apple headquarters the briefing also revealed that in 2016 more leaks had come from Apple's own campuses versus the supply chain whose screening of workers is even more intense than the TSA wait hold on a second my phone just went off in yeah that's another story about leaked iPhone 8 parts ok let's run through some quick bytes we showed you some AR KITT demos last week but I'm stoked about this one IKEA is building an AR app of their own for AR kit that will let customers choose the IKEA product they want to see and how it looks in their room before it's purchased the app will support between 500 to 600 products at launch and guess what emoji update Unicode 10 has beneficial e released with 56 new emojis that will likely be coming to iOS later this year possibly in an iOS 11.1 update since they most likely won't make it in time for iOS 11 so get ready for puke-face vampire and a fortune cookie and takeout box are coming soon ok let's turn back the clock and go back to the days of the Sega Genesis some of you watching right now we're not even alive back then the Sega forever collection is coming to and Android starting this week or you can play classic games like Sonic the Hedgehog altered beasts or fantasy star 11 for free with ads or just two bucks to get rid of them now new titles will be added every two weeks they'll support iOS game controllers and will
