believe 39 my goodness we are growing up everything here all Apple this is a complementary piece of the apple byte video podcast that we put out every week but we talk about the stories in detail we bring new information to the table and it's also a chance for you guys and gals to participate with our phone number callin we keep the number hot it's not a live call but we will ask you guys 1 800 61 62 63 8 be a part of our show call leave your name where you're from and get your question or your comment 30 seconds keep it tight keep it right and we'll give you that extra munch with that Apple by crunch yeah we had a lot of good calls this week we had we had we got tons so we can't wait to get to those so let's just jump into the show starting off right now macbook pros we have heard so much about the iphone people have been asking about macbook pros and people and asking you about macbook pro steven Beecham lot of phone calls about macbook pros actually pros foam macbook pro fo sho so here's the latest story according to digit times and it's also been cooperated by 9to5 mac the new macbook pros the fully revamped redesigned ones that i have been telling all of you just to wait for for about the past year but also just wait till WWDC it appears that they might be coming a little later but they will be coming according to these reports in the fourth quarter of 2016 with an all-new thinner and lighter design but here's the hot stuff the new macbook pros both the 13-inch and 15 inch models are expected to come with a new OLEDs play touch bar there's going to be an oled kind of if you've seen something like the razor laptops gaming laptop they kind of have this touch panel they Oh LED strip that replaces the function keys located above your actual keyboard a nice long line they're not a touchscreen not just on the keyboard it's like well we don't you know we don't exactly really know what it is other than it's a OLED touch bar maybe the icons can change maybe depending on the app that you're using they might be context-sensitive you might have media controls at one point or if you're using something like Final Cut Pro you might have some quick shortcuts or something like iTunes which needs all the help it can get for for quicker hey you know what instead of navigating that thing I'd rather just like typing icon for movies TV shows music podcasts the Apple by podcast specifically just just talk to me so the report is that it will include this OLED touch bar there is no word of what type of functionality this will have but this is going to be a big jump a big move for the macbook pros we haven't really seen any drastic design change we know about the processors but this will be the according to ming-chi kuo digit times the biggest revamp we've seen in four years it will also these are expected to support both USB and C and Thunderbolt 3 right so we have this whole story about the macbook pros and I've been telling people to wait till WWDC and it looks like you'll probably have to wait a little longer but you might see something a little earlier still in the shape of macbooks an additional report by digit times from ming-chi kuo says that the new macbook right we know we have that ultra-thin kind of super sleek ultra thin design right now yeah that's in a 12-inch format the report says that Apple is going to release a 13-inch model and it kind of sounds weird because you're saying why would you have a 13 inch and a 12 inch model of this super ultra thin that's just a one inch difference lynch is all it is it makes all the difference to me um but with this laptop they're saying that the macbooks ultra-thin will pretty much be the super portable for apple's line the new macbook pros we just talked about will stay that hi in full feature rich feature packed macbook pro and then the current macbook air's yeah those guys that are actually still pretty pretty thin and slim will move down to the budget laptop and when we say budget apples budget laptop right now is around i think they start at eight ninety-nine for an 11 inch budget laptop 899 after tax and applecare that ain't what you like a thousand dollars or many budget but that's that's the Assumption how Apple is going to kind of lay out their line three different specific lines pro ultra thin and air which will be the budget line so we'll see the the thing about this is this 13 inch ultra thin is expected to be available the third quarter of this year and if that is the case we should definitely see that at WWDC and I really hope that man WWDC has to be a feature showcase for the new macbook pro it just has to be to me you know I'm a little disappointed actually buy this touchscreen strip you're talking about because why don't they just make a touchscreen laptop I mean it's put it in the screen yeah put it in the screen please I mean it's so much more useful to you I've had I've had a touch screen for three or four years now and I love it scrolling hitting play on a video every website has a big button now you just push the button it's so much faster than using your you know mousing around or using your little trackpad to like find it and hit the button it's so much faster and Apple makes awesome displays so why don't they just make a touchscreen display well I will also tell you why hire here's the thing it's mine honestly rip what is this strip come on come on a touch more shrimp what we want to touch marsh we want touchscreen yeah look the other issue that Apple has here and maybe maybe they surprise us maybe they bring a touch screen laptop to the table is they don't have software to support it yet they really don't this is the conundrum that Apple is facing where you can make all this cool stuff but right hardware and software together Apple has no answer for that right now and they sure ain't gonna give me an iPad pro with iOS laptop no that ain't that's not gonna cut it ladies and gentlemen yeah it doesn't cut it right now it doesn't cut it already so your point Stephen one hundred percent right on the money touch bars like oh that it could be cool but remember let's rewind back to December when you and I had our prediction show we talked all about the product line I said arguably apples laptops will be the most exciting product this year just from a standpoint of it's time to revamp them but are they really going to be moving so many units of these laptops that's gonna make that much of a difference probably not so look I like the fact that we see these new stories it's exciting it's something new people want something new they always get excited when you're like oh a thinner design a macbook pro cool but how important will this touch bar really be how I'm really know but like last week we were talking about that ipad how you can use touch ID on the ipad through the screen right with that high frequency thing that that was going to sound sending the waves maybe they're setting it up for that they put in the laptop they could be maybe that's maybe that's why they're building this little strip so that you can use the touch ID yeah i did your you will you make a great point i did forget to mention that that actual laptop although they don't include it in the same detail they do say that the new macbook pros that are expected to come out we'll have a touch ID sensor yes so it could be part of the touch bar quite honestly it would be funny if this touch bar is really just a little square on the corner that's just for touch ID right you don't we gonna get all greasy and gross gonna clean it with win you never know with these rumors and stories but this is the information that has been presented to us by digit times by ming-chi kuo and corroborated by nine to five max so really two laptops coming this year a revamp macbook pro line 13 and 15 and then a new 13-inch potential ultra thin so we will wait and see alright ok let's talk iphone 7 plenty of rumors this is like cornucopia myriad rumors of the iphone 7 the first one comes to us from a photo leak that showed off a component of this dual camera module now this is from oh sorry i know i was about to sneeze that sounds really bad to get these button right there if you need it sniffles button press the button I'll do sniffles button next time okay but a Steve hammer suffer from nowhere else fr showcase an image of a dual camera component that is believed to be part of the iphone 7 plus but even more interesting in these pictures and for those people watching beach i have a link in the beetle that they might be able to see but i'll still talk those pictures are really interesting because it also shows SD card capacities that are rumored to be linked to this 7 plus it shows us 16 it shows us 64 it also shows us 256 gigs well so could the new iphone 7 plus bring 256 gigs of storage based on these leaks possibly this is from steve hammer Stauffer nowhere else so far i think the biggest concern and i talked about this in our actual video show that's posting later today dude they're still showing me 16 gigs as the starting jump off point for a freaking iphone are you kidding me that's crazy like his Apple still gonna do this crap I can't tell her we we might have to start a movement like we have right now there's all these movements going on black lives matter asian american actors matter transgender bathrooms matter we need 16 gigs on iphone don't matter it doesn't matter doesn't matter it's horrible it is horrible i get the 60 for it i already feel that's what I'm talking about videos and I'm like oh it's time to start a new movement all those movements are kind of getting played out I'm playing around guys don't take it all seriously you know i'm joking please but the fact that i have to disclaimer that is really sad these days right oh yeah we'll get common yeah we will but 16 gigs doesn't matter it doesn't matter i like don't matter though it's kind of cooler 16 gigs don't matta 16 gig don't matter so what would be the lowest 64 mounted bike 65 or no no fine 32 32 32 you'll fill up your furniture at least Sam so he's doing 32 it's better than 16 we will move along otherwise I will talk about this from them next hour I can't wait till we can get to Terry's on there to Terry's that's funny all right like $2,000 iphone next up report from LG an apple say that I don't know if we did this last week did we do this last week man my brain is my brain is mush but basically Sonia's believed to be the component supplier for that dual camera for the iphone reports say that they have been lagging an LG will now take its place at the primary supplier for the iphone 7 plus dual camera component cool I think we did talk we did you know what we talked about optical image stabilization for the 4.7 inch and we both shared about that yay next story thank you this is just a call back new iphone 7 schematic images again they're schematics run in wild show what is believed to again be a dual camera spot exclusively 7 plus model but no smart connector we've talked a lot about the fact that they had those three magic dots on the iphone 7 plus seen typically in the ipad pro and the ipad pro line 12 point nine inch in 9.7 inch also kind of exciting because you could really make a lot slimmer profile battery charging case because it provides both data and power sure people talk about a keyword but I really think like a battery case would be able to take the best you know be able to use this to its advantage the best out of any product out there so that's thrown out there we also have purported photos of the back of an iphone 7 now one of the big things that we've seen now in renders in schematics is that the actual camera lens for the 4.7 inch iphone is bigger is larger that's always a good thing so images have been showing this off and also confirming if these are table would be believed the antenna lines being removed but there's a look at it for those of you watching again a large it the bevel nice yeah the bevel of it is a little different but it's the bigger camera lens is always a good thing for the iphone okay on finally in another iphone 7 news flash rumor flash purported photos from know else FR show a case design aligns with the whole camera thing we're talking about but has four speaker grills basically this case shows off the speakers as if it's aligned like the iPad pro for two on each side top and bottom we haven't seen that anywhere I don't know if this is just some crazy person making up stuff and throwing out a case we know cases can be true can be real can be fake but this is look all these 5 6 7 7 iphone 7 stories all dropped this week really so people are talking we have surround sound on her iPhone may be true stereo sound so I guess that's a 4 then not 4.1 that's just for yeah it's just for so I'm almost surround sound almost almost another thing is that economic daily Taiwan economic Daily News is reporting that this new iphone 7 Apple is real really believes in it because they are prepping and have told their suppliers to build as many as seventy eight million iphone 7 units for launch that would make this the largest ramp up before up to the iphone 6 the iphone 6 had a huge ranch up for simple ramp up for suppliers Apple expects this iphone 7 to be the same we saw Tim Cook touting about how this new iphone you have things that you can't live without water oxygen food fire shelter fire fire fire fire fire hey hey they're gonna build these guys are gonna build 78 million they're gonna get higher is a few more people no I'm sure there's more workers that's a lot of my people right there man there were in our they are working already um transitioning over to the iphone future look i'm sorry there's a lot of hype now around this 10th anniversary iphone it gives not called the iphone future that is what we call it here on the show most likely they're gonna be really boring and call it like the iphone x but then they'll say call the x10 that's what everyone's been saying i own tax i think you like i'm pretty much the everyone on the internets that's their guess and i also think that will follow in line with the x-men movies naming so they'll have the x2 you guys let's not do that then the x3 last stand which is a horrible movie that will just do then we'll go iphone X first-class iphone it Days of Future past iphone X Age of Apocalypse oh man please please let's not get on the superhero bandwagon they aren't going to do that they weren't going to do that but this report says a surge in OLED equipment orders are linked directly to iPhones why is this so we have this supplier who form for companies like LG and Samsung they need equipment to build OLED displays they had orders four times the amount in a single quarter it was around seven hundred million dollars they equaled up to one year's worth of order so this is applied materials as the company right so they reported that hey we had a boost for x order size this quarter equivalent to a whole year clearly indicating that some certain mobile company is ramping up from some certain type of OLED display and based on the timing of the equipment getting these manufacturers that would time it out for next year that's crazy 700 million in a quarter Wow I'm sorry there's a lot of hype already around me again I'm not gonna say I'm gonna skip the iphone 7 yet I bought every iPhone except for the 5s I skipped I went from five to six I did not get a 5s but they've got to really do something for me to be like yeah I'm gonna get a seven even though I review this stuff I gotta have it I skipped the 5s yeah I'm more than willing to skip again if it's not that great I'm in every other iphone adopter so I probably will skip the seven and just get the eight when it comes out once my four maybe just wait till my phone dies yeah and a lot of people will call me out and be like oh you you're supposed to review the stuff like look I'm I'm trying to represent you all like a consumer i buy all my stuff repeat we all buy all our stuff repeat i buy all my things yes and um you know gotta represent for the people gotta represent represent our in a fun story this one it this one's probably like my happy story of the day over the week tim cook believes that the iphone might have actually been discovered in 1670 what am I talking about alright so Tim Cook was at startup fest in Europe and amsterdam and he was on stage and he was being interviewed by the former European Commissioner for Digital Agenda her name is Neelie Kroes and in this queue a kind of session in front of an audience she asked him just be like oh um you know were you there when the phone you know where and when did the actual iphone kind of come to fruition not the day it was released but when did it actually happen in Tim Cook kind of jokingly said oh yeah you know I thought I knew but then I saw a Rembrandt when we went to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and it looks like to me that someone was holding an iphone so it does we're gonna you know we have the picture here uh it does kind of like kind of ish like it's like she's making a dog video with the dog in her lap right now no it's a sunny viral video so this piece of work is actually not a Rembrandt it was done by peter de hooch in 1670 the name of the painting is called man handing a letter to a woman in the entrance hall of a house wait is that him that's a man yeah yeah you don't know the iphones man well man handing a letter no no the dude with the iphone i think that's the letter ok that's what it looks like a woman there's a woman sitting them down with a little cute dog that is not to me those a dog that size that is smaller than your thigh is a rat and I'm sorry for all you listening I'm used to golden retrievers babies it's your wah wah I'm used to a big dog that I could that is a dog there's like dress them up and clothes and stuff hi hey that's the worst they call them toy dogs dude that's not a dog that's a dress up toys my favorite as the word entry at the Westminster Abbey dog show is the toys I'm telling you Paris goobers tell me what your favorite dog is because I know it ain't one of those little pipsqueak chihuahuas they're just like I mean I eat those things haha so this is prior art to the iphone yes night sixteen sixteen seventy wow there you go the the iphone so I've got a funny thing I got a funny thing to just piggyback on this did you ever hear because this this came up and talking about it did you ever hear about the time traveler from the from the Mike Tyson Peter McNeeley fight did you know about this okay um while i'm talking about this in the document go to the cnet link um it's about the same story okay open it up and scroll down and i want to tell people about this time traveler thing so basically it's a boxing match with Mike Tyson Peter McNeeley long time ago long time ago and in the crowd there's you'll see it for those you watching but in the crowd there's a guy holding like a white device Oh with like a lens in a circle that in there and at the time there were no there were no cameras there were no cameras like you know these are this is your this like the canon s110 razão tour at all that looked like that at all and everyone is trying to figure out what exactly was that device I'm telling you just search up time traveler Mike Tyson fight and you're gonna be like even has like a flash i'm telling you i'm not even i'm not even messing around so there's some Tim Cook may not be wrong there's something to it he's from here from six sixteen seventy and I think was that fight in like the early 90s I believe probably that that's when Mike Tyson was that it biggest look at that that is so weird yeah it was it's insane people gave me like what and i'm telling you i love this video i love videos like this that's what i'm talking about so fun five million six million views almost so you know we also love we love you all the apple byte nation you guys call us and make our show what it is today so again the number 1 806 162 638 call us leave your name your message but we're going to go to our phone calls and talk to you all and again i called out for the ladies that to check in with us and we'll see if we got someone to represent all right here we go okay number one hey brian Tong did he shake up from al monte california i just want to ask a question did you think all the features that were rumored for the 10th anniversary iphone is gonna affect the sales of the iphone 7 like maybe from the bezel of the bezel is display things and i love the show guys keep it up keep up the good work okay so i think in any case because Tim Cook doubled down on secrecy and we know nothing about the iphone 7 or the iphone 10th anniversary it's like come on uh no matter what they're all rumors i'm gonna make my purchasing decision based on what the seven has when it's officially announced but i will tell you right now the 10th anniversary phone sounds like the phone to get oh yeah definitely it's right i mean just the design the potential touch ID with no home button wireless charging OLED display it's kind of sad it almost sounds like a samsung galaxy phone but I'm talking about I love the apple byte so you know wait till the actual stuff comes out and then make a decision that that's what that's what I always say hey real quick papa snarf yeah Papa Stanley YouTube chat room is saying that that is a casio camera and that that video was debunked a while ago some sort of Cassie okay my God why do I to kill my gotta kill my dreams like seriously we like never sure we don't know that for sure this is papa snarf is telling us this I will tell you on periscope someone put wrote the same thing I'm like do don't kill my vibe don't kill don't harsh my vibe right now don't harsh my mellow please alright so yeah it's sure in my in your mind right now you're like I'm gonna wait for the 10th anniversary but just wait till the actual phone gets announced that making a decision and and then maybe you're like okay I'm good I'll get one we'll see we'll see what tim says we can't live without yes I'm so curious to see what we can't live without I'm too i am too okay next call hi my name is Josh carb i'm calling from ambler pennsylvania my question is simple i love my ipad mini 4 but i'd really like to see an ipad pro 7.9 inch my question is do you think that will be the next iteration because i'm debating whether to hold onto my ipad mini 4 and just wait for the fall or upgrades you and ipad pro 9.7 inch thanks you guys are awesome i love your shows the videos it really makes my life better thank you nice we love that we're here you really we can you make our lives better by contributing with that call and I guess we I feel like flattered that people say that yeah hearing that call made my life better thank you made my day better for sure for sure so the question about is Apple gonna bring the ipad pro features the mini my right off the top just knowing how Apple things i would say i know only because by giving you something more something extra to differentiate the mini line from the from the proline that's what they want you to do they wanted to be like I want that extra stuff I'm going to upgrade I'm going to spend more money so I could be wrong but I don't expect to see the ipad pro features coming to a mini anytime soon yeah if you're happy with your iPad just hang on to it for as long as you can but I think he wants a bigger I feel like he wing it yeah yeah that's true I'm thinking I think he's compelled by the new features the ipad pro probably the true tone display that's not in my 12 point nine inch ipad pro oh we know about that one well don't we don't we we do I've talked about it every episode um but yeah so if you really like that just just make the jump it's honestly I do feel like it's worth it and the bigger screen is awesome I roll with a 12.9 dude that's a big one and its glorious I love that thing it's probably one of my favorite products in a long time from Apple that I'm like I genuinely really like this and i know i'm in a minority so it's all good that's cool let's go alright next call louis from the Bronx hey what's up Lewis from the Bronx District auction that with the Google I the spark home or the google home everything like that do you think that Apple would use the beats a speaker next generation sort of like Alexa or Google home hybrids or will they just not do anything with in focus more on software this year all right look at pockets what what do you think beach I think it would be awesome if you were like yo dr. Dre turn on the lights went on Cirie anymore you be like yo dr. Drake turn on my itunes please play some dr dre thanks i think that'd be awesome so you just be called like Dre Dre yeah hey Dre high drive with hi Dre hey Dre hey JJ hey JJ I think that up again we talked about it sometimes when we talk about these stories it just becomes more depressing to me that Apple is behind on a lot of this stuff like look google actually has the voice technology to make to potentially again make the Google home really special amazon was first it took them like three years to establish this they have all the partnerships apple doesn't have the best voice recognition software technology apple also isn't good at making partners in general they like to play in their own their own like walled garden they're not really like hey come on in let's be a part of this we've seen in general how hard the smart home is to conquer because of all these competing platforms and languages that these devices use to talk to each other Apple hasn't been able to wrap their head around that quite honestly google has it if anything out of all the devices amazon it supports the most smart home devices with that Alexis set up so i think that apple can try to but in my mind if they got into the race right now they would be clearly right now a third-place contender oh yeah there would be way behind they would be third just purely because of the voice recognition on it Siri has gotten better but it's still not on the same level as google and amazon right now has the advantage of partnerships that could change with this stuff can always change but whenever you enter a market you want to be the top two dogs you don't want to be number three and right now if Apple did it they'd be number three and is this boat they missed the boat and I don't think that they would be using Dre Dr Dre branded beats beats head speaker I don't think that they would be using that at all would be some sort of Apple special apple thing you know like I come in amazon so much and i'm glad that google gave them props at google i/o amazon create a product that no one knew about no one had an idea if it would resonate they decided to put out it put it out there they believed in it and look all of a sudden is starting again all this momentum of this is the new smart home assistant this is the new you know AI interface that we can talk to and that used to be Apple that came up with that type of stuff is stuff we didn't know we wanted and now it's amazon that did it and i commend them completely that's awesome according to this dr. dre video they're working on a dr dre android let me see what is this i was just watching this I was trying to find dr. Dre music and then I see dr. Dre is an Android here watch this okay no one can snow one can see this though there's a lot of people watch the video oh yeah here he is yeah okay he's just you know there was a scene right dude it was just his legs were in shackles he's doing dips on parallel bars dude oh here we go yeah see they're working on it ok this is Apple this is out the Apple headquarters ok anyway sorry besides throwing a little segue there hey you deserve to you the show as yours as much as his mind so feel free to insert any non sequitur videos that no one can watch what they listened oh man but uh yeah it's disappointing that we haven't seen that product friend amazon got to it i can't say it enough I just think it's all moans way ahead of think I think it's awesome it's super cool it's really cool ok next phone call on the sea jailbreaking illegal oh no it is not illegal it can't be illegal can it void your warranty if you brick your phone and somehow can't bring it back to life yeah is it risky is it annoying because you always have to play the rat race yes we talked about it all last week but it's not illegal so if you want to live dangerously young man jailbreak yes jailbreak it if you want to live dangerously that's what I'm saying okay last phone call last call hi this is stephanie from canada i love the show keep up the great work i want to know about the developers conference because i know it has a high ticket price what is the benefit what is the value of attending in person I think maybe I'm being too optimistic to think that they give you free samples of products that they introduced but I'd love to know what the benefit is of attending thank you well one of the benefits is that you can stand up and clap for Tim Cook when he walks on stage oh yeah that's why I would register for WWDC mean person which is very exciting I mean some guy paid like five hundred thousand dollars for that charitybuzz auction to to go have lunch with them in person yes first of all stephanie way we got a call two ladies out there Hey ladies hey lady ladies thank you for calling and responding to our call to action Stephanie yeah um but one of the here's the advantages of WWDC as a developer first of all there is a lottery system to get into it so you can't just sign up and go anymore it's in such high demand that you have to go through a lottery process to then have the ability to buy a ticket I believe the conference is somewhere like around a thousand bucks damn I could be wrong is that I TT days yeah it's one of the entire convo the other advantages as a developer there are lots of sessions and panels that get you inside into the api's the hooks that Apple is making open to developers for people to create apps people to create third-party products that work with apps it's all the stuff behind the scenes that we benefit from for programmers and engineers so that's really what is also you can sometimes see new product there it's always fun to be it like a new announcement I will admit that it is fun when the products are cool if they do a keynote for the next generation Apple battery case I will be furious and no one better stand up for that but um it's fun to be at those things now we stay here because you know we're kind of I don't want to say we're jaded but it's actually we can actually talk more smack here than we can during a live keynote yeah and it's right down the street it is by the CBS I building and take a look where we work and then the others yeah that's true and then the other part of that is they do not give you any free stuff this is Apple you might get a t-shirt maybe maybe Microsoft will give you like a laptop and a surface and an xbox yeah google will give you google cardboard and maybe a chrome yes they've done stuff like that like they've done tablets in the past yeah I'm apple notebooks I think Apple you're lucky to attend your your actor keynote at their pleasure the privilege so um you know that's what's going on but i think that the developers conference as a developer come on it's the largest you know one of the uh well by far the largest app store i want to see the largest mobile platform that goes to android but it is the largest app store where people are making that money so oh yeah it's good it's cool so I think that's it that's all that's it balls thanks for calling from kannada we appreciate how nada there you go so again ladies and gentlemen boys and girls thank you for hanging out with us at the apple byte extra crunchy we will be here again next week talking all that talk all that much all that crunch say goodbye mr. steven Beecham thanks guys for watching we'll see you next week and have a good weekend oh yeah enjoy that puse
