what's up brian Tong here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple there's still a combination of happy thoughts and a lot of mixed emotions over iOS 7 but that leads to the next question what will the next gen iphone really look like well according to Apple Insider accessory makers are already beginning to manufacture cases for the company's rumoured low-cost iPhone using designs believed to have originated from inside Apple headquarters now the leak schematic suggests the low-cost iPhone will be slightly wider and taller than the rumored 5s that appears to have no major design change at all in these drawings it also looks to be point 8 millimeters thicker than the next flagship iPhone and the back edges will be rounded off like the ipod classic now the alleged blueprints for the iphone light shows off a single flash LED while the 5s features a pill shaped flash that's also rumored to be a dual LED flash for greater brightness now even Macotakara showed off a hands-on with a case from design firm MGM that was made based on the leak schematics it actually fits the current iphone 5 but it's curved edges are clearly meant for another device I would also never use a case that uses lime green and due to brown together now we've seen plenty of iOS 7 and I still like it I'm a fan even though a lot of you started using four letter words on YouTube because come on I keep it real without the Apple kool-aid there were words like yeah and copy and those can be very hurtful now we still haven't seen Apple released a beta version for the ipad but that didn't stop my russian youtube comrade rosette kid who released the video of what he claims is the alpha version of iOS 7 running on an ipad this hasn't been confirmed as legit but when he brings up the control center many of the options like a flashlight or access to the clock or calculator aren't there having no flash makes sense since current iPads don't have one so either just isn't ready or Apple is holding back because there might be some iPad specific features in it like electrocuting people when they want to take pictures all right other images from user Hamza stood show hidden settings inside iOS 7 that also show off the potential for multitasking and navigation gestures including edge and corner swipes that might be more specific to a larger screen like the iPad as well and one last tidbit the Apple TV gets some new software beta love as well and it's been revealed that the iTunes radio service and a new conference remote is in the works that's in the future but recently the apple TV received a software update available to all of us that adds HBO go and watch ESPN to their lineup of services you'll still need a subscription to the services through your cable provider to use the apps but it's better late than never and a welcome addition so you guys should check that out all right our Cena team finally finally got a chance to put the new macbook air through our test it looks exactly like the previous one so here's a first look with cnet's own dan the man Ackerman I've been Ackerman and we are here take a look at the new 2013 version of Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air now of course this looks a lot like the 2012 version even kind of the one before that the big differences this year are on the inside three main points to keep in mind the first and most important one is that this guy moves into Intel's new fourth-generation core i series cpus you may have heard of them under the code name has well and that means faster application performance although you know most consumers don't really need their CPUs to be that much faster more importantly you get better battery life apple claims of this guy is going to run for 12 hours without needing a recharge you also get an upgrade in the wireless 280 2mm an AC of course you're going to need one of the new faster routers and Apple has this built into some of their hardware as well in order to take advantage of that but it's a good way to sort of future proof your setup and apple claims that the flash doors are using is also faster than previous generation even though it doesn't have a lot of the high-end features that we'd kind of like like a Retina screen or edge-to-edge glass over the display or a touchscreen it's still one of the most universally useful laptops you can get and now it's a hundred dollars less thanks D now apple claims there's 12 hours of battery life for the third an inch but we squeezed out 14 hours and 41 minutes of video playback it's pretty awesome all right onto the quick bites if you haven't tried it out recently ATT is quietly rolling out support for facetime over their cellular network and even for those of you on their grandfathered unlimited data plan it was a surprise to me recently so you know maybe I should take this back from a year ago this side sucks on the CT nah I'm not gonna do that I'll write music fans you'll like this story Kanye West's latest album Jesus drop this week I'm not a fan of the name but it's a super unique sound that I'm feeling but a true Kanye form you told the New York Times in an
