what's going on Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple we know that Apple is big on augmented reality with AR KITT Tim Cook has made no secret about it I mean look at a our games like follow me dragon oh look at how cute he is he's like so aren't you the church now Tim Cook recently sat down with the independent where he talked about augmented reality in Apple's future plant when asked about smart glasses specifically he said today I can tell you the technology itself doesn't exist to do that in a quality way the display technology required as well as putting enough stuff around your face there's huge challenges with that the field of view the quality of the display itself it's not there yet so you're telling us you've been working on it which has been reported for a while cook then went on with the company line that Apple will only ship a product that's the best and that the company doesn't care about being first to new technology because we've never noticed that at all all right Apple has seated the second beta of iOS 11.1 for developers and the public beta that you can sign up for and you know what that brings new unicode 10 emoji and that's a hedgehog and not a porcupine in case you ever have to use those in a text message just to be clear now only other users of 11.1 beta 2 will be able to see the new emojis if you use them and there's no word yet when we'll see an official public release all right the beta 2 also brings back the 3d touch app switcher gesture on devices equipped with 3d touch I just saw some of you through the screen say yes now Craig federighi said it had to be temporarily removed for technical reasons but would be bringing it back in a future iOS 11 update also watch OS 4.1 beta to get some new changes and features that you know what i'm just-just about the new radio app now streams over a cellular connection it didn't in the previous 4.1 beta release and the ESPN station now plays in the radio app as well new Wi-Fi changes are the biggest there's a new Wi-Fi toggle that allows you to turn it off or on great for LTE users that really want to force it to LTE and the Wi-Fi SSID is also displayed in the control center so you know which network you're connected to now this makes me warm and fuzzy and happy inside and you know what that deserves a radical like those are legit improvements plus you can also pick up the new Nike Plus GPS and LTE series three models in stores now which brings you the Nike branded watch faces and a watch strap also iOS 11 point 0.38 that's available that fixes an issue where audio and haptic feedback would not work on some iPhone 7 and 7 plus devices and an input issue with non genuine display replacements for the iPhone 6s now I was just talking about how many of my messages weren't buzzing or making sounds this past week on my iPhone 7 after eleven point 0.2 so maybe that fixes this for me it's the third minor update to iOS 11 we've seen and I'm still waiting you know for a battery life improvement wouldn't that be nice alright Apple pay cardless withdrawals are now available and over 5,000 Wells Fargo ATMs across the US you'll still have to use your ATM PIN to authenticate it but this makes even going out without cash a whole lot more convenient if you don't want to take your phone with you Wells Fargo says its remaining 8,000 ATMs will be upgraded by sometime in 2009 team and it also supports Android pay and Samsung pay and according to a report from Kei securities Ming Chi quo the new 2018 iPad pro models will come equipped with a true depth camera and support face ID to give a consistent user experience with the iPhone 10 you know just like they did 3d touch between the iPhone and the iPad oh wait they didn't now according to quote it will only be brought to iPad pro models which are Apple's flagship tablet device and still you know what one of my favorite devices of the year another recent report by Kuo also says Apple's true depth camera tech has turned the industry's attention away from under display fingerprint recognition he says Android smartphone vendor requests for 3d sensing tech has tripled since Apple revealed their true depth camera and face ID system whoa believes 3d sensor equipped Android devices will exceed under display fingerprint recognition by two or three times over the next few years also a couple reports say Apple was all in for face ID from the start and that touch ID through the screen was not part of the plan and guess what this might matter for you it does for a lot of people Apple is quietly released iTunes twelve point six point three which brings back the App Store and the ability to download apps and ringtones from within the iTunes software now a lot of you were ticked off when Apple remove this in the most recent iTunes twelve point seven they made this version available because according to them certain business partners still
