what's good Bryant on here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple the new macbook pro reviews are in and we'll get to that but let's talk about the big story this week now according to Bloomberg Apple is looking for their next hit and it could be digital glasses or you know dare I say eyeglasses now the report says they are in the exploration phase for a pair of glasses that would wirelessly connect to the iPhone show images and other information in the wearer's field of vision and may use augmented reality according to Bloomberg sources the company has already ordered near eye displays for early testing but if we see this come to life the eyeglasses would be introduced in 2018 at the earliest now we saw what happened with Google glass but that was a $1,500 beta product and we know Apple will handle everything in-house and behind the scenes until they feel it's ready or they just scrap it now Tim Cook has commented multiple times about Apple's belief in augmented reality that allows people to still share moments compared to the more isolated virtual reality these glasses would align with that thinking we also know the iPhone is their bread and butter and they are trying to build another device in addition to the Apple watch that is part of this iPhone ecosystem now my first reaction was really Apple glasses but Apple recently received a patent for a VR headset similar to the gear VR they have a patent for a video delivery system two glasses from 2012 and Apple also has a patent for a glasses type product referred to as livestream in January of 2015 with the intention to collect notes recordings and annotation data elements so they have done some thinking in the past around this type of product but does the idea of glasses even get you excited let me know on Twitter at Brian Tong or email me at the Apple byte at Cena comm and I'll see what you guys have to say also the new MacBook Pro reviews are in and there is a universal affection for the design and speed of the machine which has been reviewed primarily by journalists but not multimedia power users at this point now the touch bar is still a mixed bag you don't hear everyone saying it's a game changer or a whole new revolutionary interface reviews range from nice to kind of gimmicky to it make some things easier and is sometimes less efficient but you don't hear a universal love for it and it's always going to come down to the user there's still the frustration with ports and dongles but that will go away over time as USBC continues to be more important bottom line if you're already looking to upgrade to new MacBook Pro you won't be sorry and that's a good thing but the hard part now is really finding one the online store has a four to five week wait but some Apple stores are getting units in stock if you do a little hunting it's also been revealed that not only is the memory soldered on to the machine so is the solid state hard drive signaling really a true end to upgrading any MacBook Pro in the future and that hurts longtime pro users that would upgrade them with significantly cheaper prices for RAM and hard drives like I used to be one of those guys and it brings a tear to my eye now in stories that really matter the booty peach emoji has returned after many of you including myself we're emotionally distressed after Apple had changed it in the iOS 10.2 beta great news that peach is bringing sexy back thanks to the third iOS 10.2 developer beta and that's as sweet as peaches and cream good Apple yeah now they've also completely replaced the videos app with the TV app and made it more functional plus there's a sin with love screen effect that you can now send from your phone and the latest iPhone rumor from stage I securities Ming Chi Kuo claims there will be three iPhone models in next year's lineup there will still be a 4.7 inch LCD model with a single camera lens then a 5.5 inch LCD model with the dual lens camera but an all-new 5.5 inch OLED display model with the dual lens camera will be the new kid on the block in 2017 according to the report so we will see and a possible air pods rumor release state investment bank Barclays reports units will begin production in December given the slightest chance that we'll see air pods right before the holiday season but they could be pushed out as far as January 2017 so that Wireless future that they were talking about yeah it's still on hold and also Nintendo's Super Mario run has an official release date of December the 15th there will be a free version of the game but really to unlock all of its capabilities that will cost you ten bucks like for reals ten bucks yeah like you I'm still gonna do it but it doesn't mean I have to like it that's a bad Apple back and the holiday season is pretty much here so what are you going to get that special person in your life well Apple might have made it easier with the release of a new photo book called designed by Apple that showcases 20 years of Apple products now comes in two sizes small and large and the large format book at 13 inches by 16 and a quarter inches will cost three hundred dollars like do I really have to throw a bad apple at this yeah I do bad apple but honestly it looks pretty I will not deny that and hey you might just need a new coffee table book that's $300 then you realize you could have made like the same book on your own by saving all their product photography from the online apple store and put it into a book which is probably exactly what they did now I can also confirm alongside the iPhone 7 that this also does not have a headphone jack now it's available in stores right now I haven't confirmed the rumors of an all dongle centerfold spread but check this out I was able to get my hands on an early release of some of the pages so here we go here's a look at one of the standouts in Apple design history the apple battery case I mean look how that bulge just comes out of nowhere okay and then we have this one this one of the air pods I mean they actually look pretty amazing on their own until you get to this page alright let's get to our winners from last week's contest the correct phrase was let's get ready to dunk Oh Congrats go out to aleck mini Chinni on email and Isaac monks and wayne rodriguez on twitter you're all getting the
