what's good Bryant on here and welcome to the Apple bite for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple let's get to it and finally my dreams have been answered videoconferencing is coming to the Apple watch but it's not my Apple now you know I've been wanting this from day one and it's coming and spring up next year thanks to a company called camera who decided to spell it like that so I'm gonna call them tomorrow now how genius is this two HD cameras an outward facing 8 megapixel camera like the first Samsung gear and a cell facing 2 megapixel camera built into the watch band within all-day charge that integrates with your iPhone are you in love yet I am and if you didn't think video conferencing on a watch is badass you will now now the band is 249 but 149 for pre-orders right now on their website I got one and no I didn't get paid by them to talk about this but I just got juiced about the Apple watch again and hey Apple just curious if you started working on taking this idea because you should have done this a long time ago alright the public beta for iOS 10.2 is out and new emojis are here five months ago the Unicode consortium approved 72 new emojis that are part of Unicode 9 and that means we're gonna get new ones like a shark or a gorilla that will forever be Harambee out who doesn't love a new creepy clown face or the bacon emoji but when Apple giveth they also taketh away some emojis have been updated and redesigned and the biggest offender the peach emoji now goes from this to this come on Apple what is that like what am I supposed to use now when I'm texting my round booty emoji that's not even a peach that's an apricot and first you take away my headphone jack for my iPhone then you take away all the ports on the MacBook Pro so I could go fooled dongle and now now you take away my big booty peach emoji that's where I draw the line and you're doing a bad after hashtag rest in peach I'll write a new report from the economic Daily News claims suppliers are not expecting the recently delayed air pods to ship until next year as in January 2007 if true the product would completely miss the holiday season and be pushed back three months since it was promised in an Apple statement they said the early response to the air pods has been incredible we don't believe in shipping a product before it's ready and we need a little more time before air pods are ready for our customers you know they also didn't give any timetable not even a month of when to expect them now Apple wasn't it you who said the future of the iPhone was Wireless that's part of the reason why you took out the headphone jack right because you wanted everyone to use these air pods now early prototype review units haven't had any major issues but it's the lack of functionality that hurts and makes these really useless to me even worse than that design now you can only either use the air pods to prompt Siri or change that in the settings to pause and play it's only one or the other you can't skip through tracks there's no volume control it's not even an option you'll have to go directly to your phone for that functionality see that's courage so I've ripped on these enough I'm gonna just hold back and let you all yell bad Apple instead okay you feel better now make these just as functional as the regular headphones add new gestures for that in we'll see how you handle this Apple okay now there's also a lot more follow up with the new MacBook Pros according to computer world's benchmark test the new 15-inch pro offers the fastest read and write speeds of any stock computer available today Apple decided to use not just solid-state hard drives but the fastest PCIe drives with the non-volatile memory Express interface and it's the highest performing system on the market in that regard now most companies won't adopt these drives until late 2017 giving Apple a year lead and pro users with large files will really see the biggest benefit now even though 13-inch pros are impressive and an eye fix-it breakdown shows how the 2016 pros feature a removable SSD with a custom Apple controller and it's the first time they've seen anything like that on an SSD also a report from Korea's et News says the OLED touch bar on the MacBook Pros is made by their good good friends at Samsung Apple is also currently testing OLED panels for future use in MacBook screens which is really a no-brainer for power efficiency and a thinner design that doesn't require a backlight like LCDs also pro users still are not happy about the changes that Apple is made with the new MacBook Pros it's funny because when you're in the building at an Apple event you buy into what they're selling like look at all the early videos with people that were at the event Apple has that effect but come on you don't have to suck the teeth now you can't ignore that Apple's obsession with thinness drove a lot of decisions with this new MacBook Pro and it's lost functionality sure you can replace it with dongles if you want it trails in CPU and graphics power compared to others and you're also paying that higher starting price now Phil Schiller addressed one of the biggest issues it's 16 gigs ram limit saying that having 32 gigs wouldn't be power fishing enough for a notebook but a deeper explanation from a reddit post explains that Apple's decision to use Intel skylake processor prevented them from using 32 gigs or even lower power ddr4 Ram now getting to 32 gigs would require them to use desktop Ram which is a lot more power hungry and a thicker form factor would be required for this MacBook Pro to support it there are also laptops that do that but it would have meant a battery life of about 5 to 6 hours instead of 10 and let's be honest you'd get even more or backlash from consumers with that so if you're in the market for a MacBook Pro and you really want to get one you're going to get one but in a year or so it's Intel's Canon Lake processors support for 32 gigs of low-power RAM in this new slim design that will be the real beast for Apple all right now sometimes we talk about all this but a picture is really worth a thousand words and it brings us back to reality if you're a MacBook user how are you going to connect your iPhone to your new Mac well it's going to look a lot like this check this out a splitter from Belkin allows you to plug your iPhone into your MacBook to charge well so having the ability to still listen to it with your headphones you could have used Apple's wireless air pods but yeah those are delayed but then you can't connect the Lightning port to the MacBook or the new MacBook Pro so you'll need another adapter for that it all looks really elegant here and this is one of the prettier setups ladies and gentlemen boys and girls children of all ages are you ready to DOM good I'm done and I could have held it longer if I wanted to all right that's going to do it for this week's show we'd love to hear what you thought you can email us at the Apple buy to cnet.com or tweet me at brian tom thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for another bite of the Apple
