what's happening Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple the new iPad pro is available now and check this out I got the brand new spankin twelve point nine inch model and I got to tell you fast don't lie come on it's easily apple's fastest mobile device and you can feel it look I'm just like sliding through my comics like that boom moving through the apps like that boom boom oh let's go check out Twitter boom yeah it is fast now the new promotion screen lives up to the hype Apple wasn't kidding when they called it buttery smooth and if you're someone who has ever owned a previous iPad you'll be able to instantly tell this is a different beast now we just have to wait for the official release of iOS 11 but I'm more than happy with the new iPad pro and you should be too in fact new benchmark tests from their feats show the new a 10x based iPad pros may outperform the new 2017 MacBook Pros and 2016 models in some cases based on Geekbench and GFX bench tests now the new iPad pros can't top single core processor performance that's just not going to happen but in their tests the iPad pros beat out the 2016 MacBook Pro in multi-core performance also in Geekbench metal GPU tests the iPad pros outperformed the 2017 and 2016 MacBook Pros and in addition the GFX bench graphics test the iPad pros edged out both MacBook Pro models again now this doesn't reflect true real-world performance and the higher resolution displays on MacBook Pros also factored in but the fact is that the new iPad pros are even close and in some cases outperforming MacBook Pros from this year and last year shows that it's a beast of a device now there's always new rumors and developments around the iPhone 8 the Japanese website Nikkei Asian review reports that the CEO of iPhone assembler whisperin says the assembly process for previous iPhones hasn't changed much but new features like waterproof and wireless charging now require some different testing and the waterproof function alters the assembly process just a bit those new features yeah not confirmed yet now improved water resistance to an IP 68 rating and wireless charging have been rumored for the new phones but this could apply to both the flagship iPhone 8 and the updated iPhone 7s and evanesce plus models all right more alleged leaks keep coming and the latest posted on reddit thanks to a friend in the industry shows what is believed to be the rear shells of the iPhone 7s the 7s plus with its dual lens camera and the next to that the front and rear parts for the iPhone 8 that feature a thin bezel on the edges on the front and a vertical dual camera lens on the rear side now the big thing to notice no rear touch ID sensor on these purported shells as well these parts match up with the latest concept renders from eyedrop news and as we put all the pieces together it's getting more and more clear exactly how the 10th anniversary iPhone will look like I'm pretty sure my five-year-old nephew could drop by now hi Tyler I'll write another Nikkei report says larg on precision a well-known Apple component supplier announced that it will be shipping 3d depth sensing lenses in the second half of 2017 for an unnamed company you know hmm I wonder who that could be for now Larkin supplies most the rear camera lenses used for the iPhone 7 and 7 plus and these new lenses will help with face recognition capabilities to allow us to unlock our phone with our face but another use could also be for augmented reality now Apple showcased its AR kit at their WWDC keynote and developers are finally showing some of their first cracks at it Kody Brown showed off a demo using AR kit unity 3d and the widow maker from overwatch ne told motherboard it's more elegant to use and he added one of the incredible aspects is how a arc it handles lighting adjustments in real time you can see that here now you can also find a bunch of these types of demo videos online to see what people are doing the team from view AR shows how you can map objects to in an environment and they say exactly in their place no matter where you go but come on how about this rain forest garage by 8/9 where he torches this garage door to make a cutout and what's behind it a rain forest I want to go there now this is just the start of how people are learning to play with Eric it and we can only expect some great stuff to come to us in the future now also I'm still trying to think who exactly the home pot is for other than someone who buys anything Apple makes we know Apple is positioning it as a music speaker that happens to also be a smart speaker but at 3:49 if someone is buying that isn't that the same person with money that already has a great speaker home theater system or even a sound bar setup already and won't they probably have an Amazon echo or Google home already plus if you want stereo sound you're paying $700 for two of them now a recent poll of 2,200 adults from the morning consult found that 33% of those people were interested in the home pot but that number dropped only 30% when they were shown a comparison to the echo or the home now among those surveyed who already owned Apple products their initial interest was at 45% and then dropped to 40 percent after they were shown other competitors as well now when it came down to it 17% they would most likely buy the echo 11 percent said the cheaper echo dot Google's home was also at 11% and only nine percent said they would buy a home pot now 57 percent of respondents said price is very important when considering a smart speaker you don't say now we also ask for your WWDC keynote thoughts and here a few of Apple byte nation's responses Jay Rodolfo Rodriguez says Brian Brian are you blind it's a pine apple holy crap now that's worth 349 mark Christopher emails us with now that WWDC happened and we saw what i OS 11 is going to look like I think this has made me finally want to go over to Android I just don't see anything truly new with iOS I mean look at control center what's up with that iOS used to be clean and sophisticated now it's just the same thing different day and in my opinion uglier hey mark you make a point but we'll see if you really jump over because you know there's this power of the ecosystem that is quite strong all right James Conner writes in what's up with the Mac Mini sorry bro but still not a single piece alright that's it for this week's show you can email us at the Apple byte at Cena comm or tweet me at Brian Tong but before we go I just want to congratulate my Golden State Warriors for winning their second NBA World Championship in two years nothing but respect for LeBron and company but the dub showed us off they are truly Ultimate Warrior all right thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for another bite of the Apple Moo's Ultimate Warrior's Cleveland Cleveland you did not pass the test before you for it is the ultimate Wars the broad you cry baby the broad you got what you asked for hello it is our time our time for the ultimate boy aah
