what's going on brian tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple and the iPhone eight is still getting all the hype even though we're about four months away from any announcement after iPhone leaker Benjamin Gaskin posted a quick video of an alleged iPhone 8 dummy model in hand now it's a better look at what the next flagship iPhone might look like and he also included to really clean pics of it now new renders by Apple eye designer show us how clean it may look and again these are all based on purported schematics that have leaked out the latest batch of designs have moved away from the rear touch ID design that might have been an option but again none of this is official but you can bet it's pretty much going to look just like this now photos claiming to show the molds of Apple's 2017 iPhone lineup could give us a potential look at the relative sizes of the rumored devices from left to right you can see the iPhone 7s plus the 8 and then the 7s now the iPhone 8 is smacked in the middle and is expected not to be too much bigger than the 7s due to its bezels design Allah the Samsung Galaxy s8 now in past years leaked parts have started showing up in May but the lack of them could indicate that the next iPhone will be releasing later in the year as some reports have claimed guess what we will see all right the iPhone 8 isn't even out but if you want to hear a bunk rumor for the week some Korean outlets like the investor are already reporting on the iPhone 9 screen sizes now I won't repeat them but here let's guess it will probably look a lot like this so stop you guys you know what again a bad apple like come on too early now I think everyone who watches this show knows that I love the iPad pro and would InStyle cases for the remember ten point five inch iPad pro have been revealed by guess who Benjamin Gaskin now they feature standard cutouts for the Lightning port and for speaker grilles but the microphone is in a new spot at the top center of the backside like the current nine point seven inch iPad pro and the new design trend for Apple in 2017 a vertically aligned rear camera guests can also released CAD images and renderings based on the model that case manufacturers are receiving from the factory the rent and these dummy models still show off a slight bezel on the edges but at the shorter top and bottom bezels they could still accommodate a home button now we are expecting to see new MacBook Pros and Mac books at the Worldwide Developers Conference but we could be surprised with the announcement of the new 10.5 inch iPad pro and possibly Apple's first serie based smart speaker as well but we all know WWDC is where Apple software has a chance to shine and I've been begging for something more from iOS 11 specifically with the iPad I know you have to now maybe Apple should hire frederico of a tici of Macs stories and Sam Beckett who collaborated to give us io s 11 with drag-and-drop functionality the concept i OS 11 features moving pictures from one app to another by dragging and dropping it also incorporates a shelf that holds onto things you've copied like you can access them later and add to other documents or apps you can move text from one document and then drag it directly on to your reminders app and what about a Finder interface to navigate and handle files like this would be an iOS like no other and that's a good thing now we'll see what Apple can come up with and I'm always hopeful for WWDC but they're also going to have to compete with this the new surface pro for 2017 now the new high-end model with KB Lake processors is 1.7 times faster than Apple's current a 9 X chip but that could change soon and the new surface pro brings 35% more battery life with thirteen point five hours of juice the new surface pen has been improved as well to support tilt like the Apple pencil already has so I'm personally invested and a way team to see what Apple can do to really amp up the iPad pro don't let us down because I don't want any sad apples alright in tech coming to Apple in the future Thunderbolt has been on Apple devices from the beginning thanks to an Intel Apple partnership now Intel is pushing for mainstream adoption by releasing the protocol specification to the industry under a non-exclusive royalty-free license Intel plans to integrate Thunderbolt 3 into future CPUs and that new all-in-one design will take up less space on a Mac or pcs logic board and reduce power consumption since you won't need a dedicated Thunderbolt controller now there's no set timeline when the will happen yet but the new design will help extend battery life while having a standard that supports power USB DisplayPort HDMI and VGA in a single connection and I know what you're thinking dongle Vail I'll write a new report from digit times claims Apple is already set for a trial production of the next generation of display technology it's micro LED now micro LED is a microscopic version of standard LEDs that's even brighter and more power efficient than current OLED displays they claim Apple is making a small volume of micro LED devices this year we probably won't see them in the Apple watch but the Apple watch is expected to be the first device in Apple's lineup that will eventually make the switch to micro LED all right
