what's good Bryant on here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple believe it or not the 10th anniversary iPhone will likely cost more than a thousand dollars after a new report from Fast Company and that might sound crazy at first but you know what I believe it the current iPhone 7 plus with 256 gigs of storage already costs 969 before tax and we're not talking about the new rumored iPhone 7s that will be released in the current 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch screen sizes this is the rumoured 5.8 inch phone with an OLED screen and a metal frame that we're talking about now you have to love the part where fast company says some people believe Apple will call it the far cooler sounding iPhone X mm now I wonder what weekly Apple Show on CNET said that they should call the iPhone experts oh yeah this one but it's not like we were serious we're just making things up and that's how rumors get started now the report says it will look like a smooth black monolith that matches up with Johnny I've dreamed of making the iPhone look like a single sheet of glass the report says Apple is working hard to remove the physical home button from the front and have it rest under the glass and there's a chance the physical buttons on the side of the phone may go away replaced by touch sensitive ones on the metal frame now Fast Company also says Apple has been working with Lou mentum to bring 3d sensing technology to the new phone that can be used for face sensing to unlock the phone or could be part of an augmented reality application but it was not specific this sounds all nice and dandy but I want to know from Apple by nation if this is true are you all willing to get the Premium Edition iPhone if it cost over $1000 yeah tweet me a Brian Tong or email us at the alpha-beta cnet.com and we'll feature your responses in next week's show okay references the next-gen MacBook Pros have been discovered in the Mac OS 10 point 12 point 4 beta release the developers Apple blog Pyke's Universum found a trio of motherboard identifiers that don't match up with any current macbook pro model and they never existed in previous versions of Mac OS Sierra the blog then cross reference the motherboard identifier with kb lake processors that will most likely be used in the new models now see this list there's a lot to take in here and some of you weren't too happy that I told you to wait for the 2017 MacBook Pros but I still stand by my words think about this KB Lake better battery life 32 gig Ram support and better touch bar support is coming this fall dongles optional and plenty of you have been waiting for the beats X headphones to drop and according to Apple they'll be available on February the 10th we've been waiting for them for a while and there were actually the first designed with the help of Apple engineers that includes the amazing w1 chip a physical remote control and magnetic earbuds with sound that really has more oomph than Apple's air pods for a cheaper 149 price point I think the long delay really was because they didn't want it to compete directly with the air pods now look the tech is the same but it has more functionality at a lower price point and arguably a better design CNET reports gray and blue colors will also be coming soon after they go on sale in black and white so we'll keep your eyes on that now the Apple TV is still buried in that group of others in Apple's reports that include the Apple watch but maybe that will soon change bloomberg reports Apple has hired Timothy twiddle the general manager and director of Amazons fire TV to now be the vice president in charge of Apple TV product marketing now the previous Apple TV lead pete dis that will focus on securing media content deals we know the Apple TV has seen minor software improvements and like many things recently it's been a nice upgrade if you're an Apple loyalists but it's really been nothing great even at their recent earnings report the Apple TV was blamed for Apple's other category decline now that Apple trails in the exclusive content game come on it's time to up their game and make an Apple TV that's a gotta have box beyond just people in the Apple ecosystem alright in some quick bytes NFC world reports Apple pay is now the most common mobile payment platform accepted by 36% of merchants it was only at 16% a year ago but see it's made some huge strides now PayPal is second at 34 percent and MasterCard PayPass is at 25 percent also MacBook Pro touch bar integration is coming soon a Word PowerPoint and Excel for the Mac if you can't wait you can jump on board with the office insider beta program that just released an update including the touch bar integration and in a follow-up from last week uh fix is coming to the LG's ultra-fine 27-inch 5k display that was flickering and freezing when it's close to a wireless router LG told recode they will fix the problem by inserting additional shielding into newly manufactured models and existing ones will be retrofitted with the same enhanced shielding so you know what good Apple for taking care of that all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can email us at the Apple by Tennessee Netcom or tweet me at Brian song and let us know are you down with a 1000 plus dollar iPhone thanks so much for watching I will catch y'all next time
