20-18 may not turn out to be the year Apple had hoped for and why the iPhone 10 could be coming back from the dead we're back after a little break with a brand new batch of Apple news and rumors on the apple core to say that apples had a rough start to the holidays would be an understatement there's been talk of production cuts on the new iPhones weaker-than-expected demands and a looming tariff threat now before we even begin to go down that road let me make a couple things clear first off it seems like every year we'd love to spell doom for Apple but regardless of the headlines Apple will still sell a lot of iPhones and they're actually gonna make a lot of money off these iPhones because now they cost more but sales have failed to meet analysts expectations so this in turn has apparently forced Apple to cut back on production orders for the iPhone 10 our tennis and tennis max this in turn has for suppliers to cut costs according to a Bloomberg report Foxconn Apple's main iPhone supplier is expected to cut nearly three billion dollars from its expenses for 2019 now that's almost half of their yearly expenses and this is not the first time Apple has had to cut production orders at least according to the rumors and it's not just Foxconn that's affected camera lens supplier larkin precision along with other suppliers expect to see revenue dips based on the slow demand according to a digitized report and then there's the tariff issue as a trade war with China heats up president Donald Trump has threatened to impose a ten percent tariff on iPhones and MacBooks imported from this country and while it may just be a negotiation tactic if it were actually to become a reality it could cost Apple over a billion dollars in earnings until that happens there is a silver lining for consumers in all this better deals on Apple devices in what seems to be an attempt to boost demand for its newer iPhone lineup Apple is currently giving up to $100 more in trade credit for older models now this only applies if you happen to be upgrading to the iPhone 10 our tennis or 10s plus and who knows how long it'll last but hey it's a deal from Apple nonetheless and those don't come very often Apple is also apparently lowering the price of the new iPhone 10 are in Japan which is not common for new devices users who sign on to a 24 month contract with NTT DoCoMo Japan's largest carrier could save up to $100 on the cheaper iPhone model now the same Wall Street Journal report also states that Apple has been forced to resurrect production of the iPhone 10 this to make up for the unused OLED panels that it had already committed to buying from Samsung for the newer iPhone tennis and tennis plus models now with production cuts to those newer models it's having to make more of last year's iPhone 10 to fill in the gap does this mean Apple is gonna resurrect the iPhone 10 on the Apple Store and how much would that cost we'll have to get back to you on that one but now let's move on to a little bit of good news about the iPhone thanks to a new Intel chip iPhones could be getting 5g support sooner than we had expected now early rumors suggested that Apple would be slow to the punch on 5g support for its iPhones this after other phone manufacturers have already started implementing it into their designs now Intel though just announced the new X mm eight one six zero chip that can support speeds of up to six times faster than the latest LTE models available today now it may be a bit late to put it into the 2019 iPhones but definitely a possibility for early 2020 which at this point is almost a year away and that's kind of insane we're gonna end on a high note with the Apple watch finally getting Spotify support to all users now let's taper down expectations a little bit you're only gonna be getting the basic playback controls such as play pause back forward rewind ability to collect your favorites and replay recent tracks but it's promising it's a promising start at least and as for the future of the Apple watch we might be getting a camera I will filed for a patent for two cameras on the Apple watch van which could be used for photos videos and FaceTime now it's long been rumored that Apple would support FaceTime calls on the Apple watch but we weren't quite sure what that would look like whether that would be a camera on the watch itself or on the band as the patent suggests and now thank the patent we're getting a clear picture that's all I have for this week's show but we're just weeks away until the end of the year which is kind of crazy and I want to start collecting your 2019 Apple wishlist now this can include anything from products services software updates guys the limit you know the drill just leave your answers on the comments section below or hit me up on Twitter and of course come back next week for more apple core
