what's going on Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple the big news this week is the iOS 11 public beta for the iPhone and iPad is now available and I'll always tell people to try this out at your own risk because you know not all your apps may work properly because guess what it's a beta but if you're rocking an iPad pro kind of like this guy right here trust me it's really worth putting it on there to really feel how the iPad changes like come on you have your dock here I can take a nap here I can bring it up here split-screen that action app on top of app that's that's just a little peek but we'll have a more in-depth video out this week I've been poking around it but long story short iOS 11 really does transform the iPad in come on I love it now the iPhone 8 has been rumored to get its own fingerprint sensor embedded directly into the front glass panel at Mobile World Congress in Shanghai Qualcomm announced its new fingerprint sensor readers that can not only work underneath your phone's display but through metal and glass and even under water now vivo showcased Qualcomm's new technology at the show running on prototype devices based on their vivo x-play six phone Qualcomm expects the first commercial device to use their technology in early 2018 the new sensors will also use ultrasonic scanning which means they'll be able to detect a person's heartbeat and blood flow as an extra measure of security Hey they said blood flow now it's also an indicator that the tech is not only around the corner but with Qualcomm offering a solution it's likely that Apple's figured this out on their own as well for the new iPhone 8 now do any of you want to get excited about a new sound effect in iowa's xi like are you that thirsty yeah honestly I know a lot of you are check this out a new charging sound discovered in iOS 11 by Max Plus on YouTube could be the sound effect you hear four wirelessly charging the iPhone eight it's called engage power dot CAF here's what the normal charging sounds like first and here's what engaged power sounds like oh did that just send tingles up your spine or you know maybe somewhere else in your body now let's hear it again oh yeah I like that now both the name and the sound of the file indicate it's related as some kind of charging purpose but of course it's all speculation at this point all right earlier rumors claim the new iPhone 8 OLED 5.8 inch phone will have a lightning connector with support for USB C power delivery that enables faster charging like the iPad pro Barclays reports that the new iPhone will come bundled with a 10 watt power adapter with a USBC connector and faster USB C power delivery compared to the current 5 watt iPhone power adapter and even the 12 watt iPad adapter that have the slower USB 8 ports now if this is a real move that's happening it's about time and that would definitely deserve a good effort ok the future of Apple's Mac line could be growing if you believe the latest survey from Verto analytics in a survey of 6,000 current PC owners aged 18 years and older 21% of Windows laptop owners and 25% of Windows desktop owners said they were planning to switch to the Mac in the next 6 months not surprisingly the respondents with an average annual income of you know $150,000 or higher showed the highest likelihood of making the switch in comparison in their survey of Mac owners only two percent said they were planning to switch in the next six months all right now this week yes this week is the 10th anniversary when the iPhone first came out so I thought it would be fun if we turn back the hands of time and show you the first review from C net of guess what the very first iPhone hi I'm Ken Sherman senior editor here at Zenith comm and vonabell and we're here with our very first look at the Apple iPhone it does have a touchscreen it's a pretty unique on a cell phone and there absolutely no buttons except one right down here that takes it back to the home menu heard a lot about this virtual keyboard that pops right up the only thing I was concerned about though is I really would like the keyboard to be displayed horizontally like this we'll just look at the photos so we'll select that picture of Donald C there he is and there's a nice zoom in and pinch your fingers together and you can see the picture it gets close but of course it's just the iPhone it's all about music and video in a lot of ways go over to Donald now right you can find your music you can turn it into landscape mode here you can flip through your music using Cover Flow find a album you want to play double click on it find the track you want to play on that and it's already playing it's a great device I just wish it was a standalone iPod it's wrong with the phone the phones great but sometimes you know you just just want to be a longer these phones are good and that's your very first look at the Apple iPhone oh that's awesome like it's always fun looking back at Kent German and Donna Bell from those days and see you have to imagine the technology was so advanced that it took two people to do the video review alright that's it for this week's show you can email us at the Apple byte at cnet.com or tweet me at Bryant ah you know what hold on before we go can we hear that power engage sound again this tickles alright thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for another bite of the Apple
