what's good Brian Tong here with the Apple buy for the good and bad inside Apple there's plenty of new rumors we'll get to apples earnings but we start off with the iPhone 7 and a report by KGI securities ming chi quo that claims there are two 5.5 inch versions of the iPhone 7 plus one with a single iSight camera and the other with a dual camera design now the iPhone 7 plus with the dual camera design would take advantage of last year's acquisition of Israeli camera technology company Lynx imaging lynxes technology brings multiple sensors at a smaller size which could help eliminate the iPhones protruding camera nipple now their cameras can also take SLR quality photos with significantly better noise reduction improve low-light photos and even includes 3d depth mapping so if you were wondering how much better can the iPhones camera get this could be it also a new report from 9 to 5 Max's Apple will likely debut the new iPad air 3 at a mid-march event targeted for March the 14th it will be the first update to the mid-sized iPad since October of 2014 and an unconfirmed design schematic showed it off with potentially four speakers like the iPad pro and even more curious a possible flash on the camera for the first time I don't want that now the long rumored iPhone 5se formerly known as the long rumored iPhone 6c will also be announced at the event with its curved edges shown off in this purported photo from the one more thing forums now the new iPhone 5se is expected to bring Apple pay live photos and the a9 m9 processor chipset so that it's not completely behind when the a10 equipped iPhone 7 releases but that name like what could have stand for the iPhone 5 special edition or maybe self esteem or the iPhone Cinco sa I'm for reals new Apple watch bands including new colors for the rubber sports bands more colors for the ermes bands and a black version of the Milanese loop are expected at the event as well a nanotech reports Intel release an updated processor list that include new skylake chips that could be used for an updated 15 inch retina macbook pro all of these are quad core options and the delays in getting these out have in turn pushed back an update for Apple's MacBook lines we could hear something about an update in March but more likely it will happen at WWDC in June where Apple has introduced new macbook hardware in the past all right let's talk apples financial results it was another record quarter with Apple posting 75 point nine billion dollars in revenue and a net quarterly profit of eighteen point four Apple sold a record seventy four point eight million iPhones in the quarter just beating out the seventy four point five million sold the year before Mac sales were down to five point three million units compared to five point five in the same quarter last year and iPads took another nasty hit down to 16 point 1 million compared to twenty one point four a year ago even with the introduction of the new iPad pro ouch now Apple also touted a record Apple watch and Apple TV quarterly sales but still declined to actually give sales numbers wop-wop but when you look at the numbers Apple's iPhone growth has really hit a wall that's their bread and butter and Apple is expecting its first decline ever of iPhone sales for the next quarter and also in its other categories like the iPad and Macs they're declining as well especially the iPad I've said in past shows the iPad pro was just so niche and then it really wouldn't change the iPads fortunes and guess what that held true now 2016 really looks very flat with little innovation happening for Apple right now and during the earnings calls Tim Cook was asked if virtual reality was a geeky niche or something that could go mainstream Cook said he does not believe VR is a niche and he said it's really cool and it has some interesting applications we know Apple has a small team working on augmented reality then Apple has recently hired some experts in the VR space the big a has filed multiple patents for virtual reality products over the years that we've shown you including their own video goggles and 3d virtual interfaces but they aren't pioneering this stuff and they are very late to the game really they aren't even in it right now all the innovation is happening with oculus Samsung and many more but not Apple and if you're someone who loves the idea of an Apple car a report from Apple Insider says there has been a hiring freeze on project Titan after multiple execs including Apple design chief Johnny I've had be kind of happy with the project's direction in progress this comes after the Wall Street Journal reported that project Titans head Steve's a desk II told colleagues that he was leaving the company for personal reasons so we're just gonna pump the brakes on the output car for now all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can email us at the Apple byte at cnn.com or tweet me at Brian Tong and I'll answer them after I finish my personal arts and crafts time thanks for watching we'll catch y'all next time for another bite of the Apple
