New iPad and Apple TV rumors. Plus, Tom Brady gets an iPhone 6

2015-07-30
what's up Brian song here and welcome to the apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple let's get to it and we start with the iPad we're expecting new ones this fall and a new report from Japanese blog Macotakara claims that the new iPad Mini 4 will be a smaller version of the current hardware inside the ipad air 2 now they also claim it may release alongside a new iPad air three with the all-new a 9 chip inside even if that's contrary to previous reports that said we'd see no air model this year with the focus being on the 12 point 9 inch iPad pro now Apple has faced six straight quarters of declining ipad sales and a recent IDC tablet tracker report says even though apple remains the world's largest tablet vendor the iPads market share has fallen below 25 percent and the overall market continues to decline in new developments around the Apple TV recently revealed patent filings by the big a in early 2014 showcase the use of a fingerprint sensor on a remote control for custom profiles that could be used with something like the Apple TV now the patent describes it as being used on a dedicated remote control but it could be used on hardware that supports touch ID so maybe we'll eventually get multiple user profiles for an iPad but even slicker custom profiles for viewing content on the Apple TV it doesn't mean we'll be seeing this anytime soon but with their current tech it's a no-brainer to make this happen alright new tech firm Intel is on the horizon that has implications for future max thanks to a leak slide from fanless tech Intel's skylake processors will provide up to twenty percent performance boost forty-one percent faster graphics and up to thirty percent more battery life over the current broad wheel chipset now Apple's MacBook Air and 13-inch retina Pro have broadwell processors but the rest of their product line is still on Haswell which might indicate apolis skipping a chip generation and leap frogging to Sky lake for even a bigger jump in performance gains now the new processors will start shipping in October giving us plenty of time to possibly see an upgrade with some apple macs before the end of this year and in more new groovy tech this time by Intel and micron two companies announced a brand new class of memory called 3d cross point that both are calling a major breakthrough it's 1,000 times faster 10 times denser and more durable than the current NAND flash storage that's used in mobile devices in solid-state drives now this is huge it's still a very nascent technology and won't be used in mainstream devices just yet because of its high cost but it has the potential to bring major gains for mobile devices and desktops and hey Apple get on this ASAP thanks advanced all right music site hits Daily Double reports their record label sources claim Apple music has signed up more than 10 million subscribers in the first four weeks Apple is sharing that figure with insiders and honestly thought it would be higher because it's free but we'll see how many stick with it after the three-month trial now they report a couple of hip hop tracks are streaming on par with Spotify and their 75 million paid subscribers also if your music lover and your data usage has skyrocketed thanks Apple music myself included t-mobile has added Apple music to its free music streaming service where you will not be charged for using the data from Apple music plus anyone buying an iphone in the next couple of months on t-mobile will be able to upgrade to the brand new unannounced rumored iphone 6s for free so good on your t-mobile and in more iphone news take a look at this photo from nowhere else fr it's believed to be the front panel of the upcoming iPhone 6s giving us a first look of something that looks exactly like the iphone 6 is front panel and if you were hoping for an iphone 6c and looks like it isn't happening anymore Business Insider reports rumors were swirling that Apple would bring a 4-inch screen iphone similar in design to the current 6 and offer at a lower price but sales of the six have done so well they may not have wanted to cannibalize sales now the only drawback I won't be able to make another Alan bryerson plastics kid weas in here Apple's supposed to be the leader for innovation and we in here talking about plastic and in our final story sometimes the news headline becomes larger than life and what it does you know it ends up on the Apple bite we're talking about deflategate tom brady the New England Patriots and his smartphone now I'll spare you the details because if you don't know about this already you don't care but here the NFL recently accused Brady of destroying his cell phone on the same day he was supposed to give it to investigators about his deflated balls but Brady said he didn't destroy it at all instead he replaces samsung phone with the new iPhone 6 because the samsung phone was broken and you know what somewhere Apple really needs to capitalize on this hey Tom you've won four Super Bowls three Super Bowl MVP awards and two League MVPs you know when your balls are perfect and of all people you should know if it's not an iphone it's not an iphone all right that's going to do for this we show you can always email us at the apple byte at cnet com or tweet me at brian Tong and i'll respond after my midday nap
