2016-02-11
what's good brian tong here for the apple bite and everything good and bad inside apple let's get to the show we start with error 53 that's become a big deal so what is it well the Guardian reports some users who had their iphone 6 is repaired by third party technicians and not apple have reported that an unknown error 53 message is permanently breaking their phones the issue happens after updating for the latest version of the OS and prevents all access to the iphone now apple says error 53 is related to touch ID security because they want to ensure that data from the sensor like your fingerprints for authorizations has not been tampered with error 53 is intended to prevent third-party components from compromising it when it doesn't pass a touch ID validation but why completely brick the phone and make it unusable I understand Apple is keeping the integrity of the product that's not a bad apple but the biggest issue it's really the first time we've seen anything like this so after media attention and threats of a lawsuit MacRumors reports some but not all Apple stores are servicing error 53 phones but charging and out of warranty repair fee on top of the price of replacement parts which obviously will cost you we know about voiding the warranty and how many times have you all had to replace your screen outside of Apple because it's broken multiple times or it's just cheaper and it's happened for years Apple didn't completely brick phones back then but they are now so we've all found out the hard way and sticking with Apple stores a new system will now allow store employees to apply the Belkin branded screen protectors for the iPhone 6 6 plus iPhone 6s and 6s plus it's called the Belkin screen care plus application system because they wanted to find the shortest name possible now it's a specific procedure using an actual device called the screen care plus machine to apply it so maybe this will help you from shattering your screen and then getting a third-party replacement screen from somewhere else which ends up then breaking your phone see Apple's got your back now on other iPhone news we turn our attention to the iPhone 5s e Mac Co takara claims the rumored phone may come in silver Space Gray and a pink shade that's not like the rose gold color of the iPhone 6s they believe it's a bright pink that's more like the seventh gen iPod Nano and the six gen iPod Touch yes I know what you all just can't wait for the pretty and pink t-mobile pink iPhone 5se could be coming to a store near you now this is all speculation but it could make sense since this is their lower end phone that might be something parents would purchase for their kids or just grown adults who would add a whole bunch of Hello Kitty stickers to it alright Apple has released new beta updates for the stand out this time around is the TV OS 9.2 beta 3 it adds dictation support that allows you to dictate into text field so currently you have to enter in words letter by letter they've also added App Store Siri search which is helpful but still no support for video podcasts in the podcast app its beta so I won't bad Apple them yet and if Apple wants the Apple TV to really take off streaming TV service or not it has to be a player when it comes to original content a report from Variety says Apple Amazon and Google are all in the mix to potentially be the NFL's official streaming partner for Thursday night football games and the street reports Apple is met with TV and Hollywood producers and studios about developing original shows to offer exclusively to iTunes customers now rumors claim they were turned down after making offers to the Top Gear crew and sports podcaster Bill Simmons for exclusive deals but it's up to Apple to make all this happen after seeing the success of orginal content from Netflix and Amazon and finally we wrap things up with a Super Bowl the big game we saw some of the craziest ads like puppy monkey baby puppy monkey baby puppy monkey baby buggy buggy baby puppy monkey baby puppy monkey baby puppy monkey baby puppy monkey baby okay okay I'll stop but the best moment came after the Super Bowl when Tim Cook tweeted Colorado Rocky Mountain High Congrats Broncos and included one of the blurry pictures you could ever take with presumably his own iPhone like it wasn't bad it was really bad then again maybe we'll see it on apples next shot on iphone billboard but you know what made it even worse getting flak from lots of random people on the internet all in good fun of course until Tim removed the tweet completely Oh Timmy and that my friends is a bad apple all right that's gonna do it for this week you can email us at the Apple vidas cnet.com or tweet me at brian tom thanks for watching and we'll catch y'all next time for another bite of the Apple
