what's uppers Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple bite for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple the iPhone 10 pre-orders are this week at 12:01 a.m. on Friday October the 27th and I'm pretty sure almost all of you watching this will be at home on four or five different screens on different apps and sites trying to get through to get the new iPhone 10 but Apple officially announced that stores will have the iPhone 10 available for walking customers on its November the third release day and encourage you to arrive early and that's a good Apple yeah and you know what who knows how many they'll actually have but they'll have some and arrive early means sit outside on a folding chair like right now because if you aren't in line watching this you're probably already screwed but I'd actually encourage you to all forget about going online just go to the store November 3rd so it makes my chance of getting one a whole lot easier thanks in advance but we know how tough this is going to be with all the reported production issues now the nikkei asian review says that the iPhone 10 shipments to customers will total around 20 million through the end of the year making availability extremely tight through the holiday season now that number is roughly half of Apple's originally planned amount for this year so some of you who try to order online if the shipping time is too far out you're going to a store like I know you are and that's how thirsty people are going to be for the 10 this year like I'm competing against someone's grandma to try and get the iPhone 10 at midnight like the thirst is real now just after last week's show published a report from the recorder says a Japanese company is suing Apple over the an emoji trademark a company called a monster came up with the an emoji name in 2014 and registered it with the trademark and patent office in 2015 that's been using the an emoji name for a messaging app that's designed to sent animated text to people and it's been downloaded 18,000 times now in the summer of 2017 you know just before the unveiling of the iPhone 10 and the mainstream use of the word an emojis a monster was approached by multiple companies who were believed to be Apple posing as companies with different names like they attempted to buy the an emoji trademark but he monster didn't sell and these companies threatened to cancel the trademark well after that Apple themselves then filed for a cancellation of the an emoji trademark that cancellation is still pending so what did Apple do they just said eff it and use the an emoji trademark as if it was one of their own in the keynote like you remember this so you know what I have to say about the owner of an emojis get paid and as for the Cupertino kids that's a bad apple come on just trying to be a bully for a feature that's honestly stupid but exclusive to the iPhone 10 totally worth it Apple and we know about the revamped App Store in iOS 11 according to 30 days of data from App topia an app featured on the app of the day during a weekday could see a download boost of up to two thousand one hundred and seventy two percent we know games will always be popular but its apps that see a bigger download when they're being featured the biggest jump for a free game was nine hundred and sixty-three percent now there's no word when I fart will get to be featured and you know what that stinks for them and if you're a holding on to the idea that there might be another Apple event before the end of the year for the home pod or anything like that Craig federighi has squashed that in an email from a Mac rumors user that asked him directly will we see in October keynote federighi replied I think we're all keynoted out for the season smiley face you know what they always have to appreciate an exec that uses a smiley face and just a reminder this week on Monday October the 23rd it was the original ipods sweet 16th birthday it's the device that set apple on a whole new course focusing on consumer electronics and it's still an amazing device like my original ipod still works to this day not the one that some of you actually believed i broke by just droppin it come on Apple by nation you gotta be better than that alright and I'm in a giving mood again this week so we have some more awesome giveaways this time thanks to my friends at Mophie
