what's happened in Bryant song here and welcome to the Apple bite for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple and last week we talked about the speed of the SSDs in the new MacBook Pros what do you think about this pop quiz true or false the new MacBook Pro outsold every competing laptop in just five days think about it well obviously it's true otherwise it wouldn't be the lead story of the show dummies duh now according to slice intelligence and this pretty graph the new MacBook Pros accumulated more revenue from online orders in its first five days compared to the surface book a SUSE Chromebook flip Dell inspired on 2 + 1 and Lenovo yoga 900 based on uber seat data from almost 13,000 shoppers it also generated 7 times the revenue in its first 5 days compared to the 12-inch MacBook launch and you know what that's a good Apple now we know there's been so much pent-up demand for new MacBook Pros that people are going to upgrade even if it left out a vocal group of disappointed professionals and guess what that's who Apple is really targeting these days and then general consumer now you may be a working professional but when you tell me you're fine with the new MacBook Pros and lack of ports and RAW processing power that's because most of you are basically web surfing and word processing on that Pro machine you know it's true all right Apple third-party retail inventory records have revealed that the new MacBook Pros width of touch bar will be available on November the 17th that's the date we're targeting now Apple is currently showing a four to five weeks shipping estimate for touch bar models but the 13-inch without one is available now and based on the previous story you can expect big sales numbers from this product one Phil Schiller even claimed last week that the new MacBook Pro has more orders from Apple than any other pro notebook ever and that the numbers will back that up also remember those pricey 4k and 5k displays for rich people from a partnership with Apple and LG they just drop the prices significantly with the 5k display now priced at 974 that's $325 less than before and the 4k display will now be priced at five hundred and twenty four dollars a $175 cut from its original price yes still pricey but at least a little more competitive with what's out there which makes you wonder what were they even thinking in the first place alright Mac OS zero ten point one point two gets its second public beta released just a week after the first one it mostly fixes bugs and performance enhancements but it also supports the new emojis introduced with Unicode 9 we talked about last week and make sure you keep your eyes open for this one Mako's that's my favorite alright iOS 10.2 also received its first public beta if you signed up it features the first look at the TV app for iOS devices that was introduced at Apple's keynote it's not fully functional but it's a peek of the interface and will support series live tuned and feature and single sign-on from your mobile devices and since we're on iOS let's just get a bunch of iPhone rumors out of the way for this week Mac o takara floated a rumor that Apple plans to add a jet white color option for the iPhone 7 and 7 plus you know the same treatment that caused the original launch of any jet black iPhones to be delayed for weeks now no timetable is given as well as the disclaimer that it may be an unreliable report then we have KJ Security's new reports that Apple is unlikely to refresh the iPhone se until after the first half of 2017 that's a sweet spot for a lot of people with the 4.7 inch screen the main reason is to wait until components are cheap enough for Apple to make the same high margins on the next upgrade to that phone and this rumor from at least three or four months ago was re-energized thanks to people who saw it on Facebook for the first time now the iPhone 8 is rumored to get guess what wireless charging my goodness now the Nikkei Asian Review reports Foxconn is making wireless charging modules to go along with the 10th anniversary iPhone that's scheduled for release next year but it will only get to the next iPhone if they're able to produce enough units to meet production so I'm just gonna hold back on this for those of you who think this is the first phone to ever get wireless charge and before we go I care about you all I really do so I've got a great giveaway for my friends at Belkin if you have an iPhone 7 and you need both the to charge your phone while listening to it at the same time we're doing an apple bite
