looks like the iPhone tens days may be numbered while the next-gen iPhones get a new paint job let's get down to the core of Apple news and rumors starting right now we begin today's show well pretty much the same way we've been starting off for the past couple of weeks now with yet another iPhone 10 leaked this time another render from Casemaker go stick these images published in Forbes and SlashGear featured the same iPhone housed in one of their cases this is not the first render we've seen from the company meaning they seem to be pretty sure they've got the specs right for this budget iPhone 6.1 inch LCD display with slightly thicker bezels as shown in this concept by Ben Gaskin with that true depth camera array on the knotch and single rear-facing camera and by budget they should really say entry-level because it's rumored to be priced at around $700 that's the same price of an iPhone 8 longtime analyst Ming chief Guo also helped shed some light on the new iPhones last week when he revealed new colors for both lineups his report cited in 95 Mac states that the less expensive model will come in gray white red blue and orange a color gamut reminiscent of the iPhone 5c the more expensive second gen iPhone 10 and iPhone 10 plus would get a new Gold Edition with a dual SIM option on the plus similar to what you see here from concept I phones and with two months to go til the event I would be willing to bet that these rumors are getting pretty close to becoming reality but the new batch of iPhones could spell doom for the original iPhone 10 as rumors continue to surface about Apple's plans to kill it off before the end of the year according to bluefin analysts cited in a Barron's report Apple would discontinue its 10th anniversary iPhone to prevent it from cannibalizing sales of the new iPhone trio which this report refers to as the iPhone and 11 plus at this point I think the biggest question mark at least for me here is what these phones are actually going to be called a few months ago Michiko also shared a similar prediction about the iPhone 10 the other casualty here the iPhone se not only have we lost all hopes of getting a sequel to Apple's tiny budget phone this year now we've learned Apple may be planning to scrap the existing se altogether after the launch we've also been hearing rumors about a refresh to Apple's MacBook lineup now these rumors have been around for a while but the latest ones seems to suggest that it will happen sooner rather than later last week French sight console Mac pointed out that Apple has registered new Macs and iPads with the Eurasian Economic Commission the report lists five model numbers that could correspond to a 13-inch pro with and without a touch bar a 15-inch pro maybe a refresh to the 12-inch MacBook and hopefully a new MacBook Air like this beauty right here and you may have noticed the new iOS 11 point 4.1 update this week and though it's pretty minor there are some things to point out apple says it includes the usual bug fixes and improve security for the iphone and ipad but there's actually an entirely new security feature now hiding in your settings USB restricted mode basically shuts off data transfer to new USB accessories if it's been more than an hour since you last unlocked your iphone this in turn will make it harder for law enforcement or hackers for that matter to break into your iPhone through the Lightning port Apple characterizes the new mode as closing a security hole not a way to lock out the cops but yeah we'll take it Apple also updated watch OS and TV OS in March of 2008 Steve Jobs took the stage to announce a platform where developers could get their creations into the hands of all iPhone users and the way we're gonna do it is what we call the app store this is an application we've written to deliver apps to the iPhone and we're gonna put it on every single iPhone with the next release of the software on July 10 marked the 10th anniversary of that software update that brought the App Store to life alongside 500 I phone apps since then the App Store has grown to house over 2 million apps and generated a hundred billion dollars for developers which apps have topped the charts according to an app any report the Facebook app has been the most downloaded app of all time followed by messenger YouTube Instagram and whatsapp but that's not necessarily where people are spending most of their time that number one spot belongs to Netflix then Spotify Pandora radio Chinese video streaming app called $0.10 and tinder is at number 5 streaming services may dominate our screen time now but back in 2010 it was an app called Documents To Go where users spent most of their time this five dollar document reader allowed you to view and sometimes edit Word docs PDFs powerpoints and Excel Doc's back in a more productive era when we actually used phones as more of a business tool than a way to binge watch shows and stock people on social media here's hoping the next 10 years of the app store brings back a little more productivity to our digital life hey guys thanks so much for your comments looks like a lot of
