what's good Brian Chong here we're back with the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple yes we missed last week's show it's what I call a vacation now the big story that caused the most confusion this week has to do with the next iPhone of course it does a Wall Street Journal report says one model of Apple's next iPhone will have a curved display with Apple ordering enough flexible OLED screens for mass production now those screens will allow for a curve at the edge of the phone just like we've seen in Samsung phones now we've heard all this before but then the journal also reports the next iPhone will feature a USB C port for the power cord and other peripheral devices instead of the company's original lightning connector now then the internet decided to run with it and started screaming the iPhone is ditching the Lightning port the iPhone is ditching the Lightning port that's not how I interpreted it the journal statement is ambiguous at best and doesn't outright say the iPhone is getting rid of lightning I think the new iPhone is going to have the option for a USB C power adapter just like the iPad pro see a lot of you might not know one even exists because not many of you have the iPad pro it's the only iOS device that can take advantage of the full twenty nine watts of power it's a must-have and I bought it because it charges two-and-a-half times faster than that standard janky 12 watt one that comes with it oh yeah thanks Apple for making me pay thirty five bucks for the cable and forty nine bucks for the power adapter to get the best charging possible that's a bad apple now do you really think Apple is going to all of a sudden just ditch its proprietary connection the answer is no and sure there's a chance I could be wrong but I don't see it happening so let's just calm down now take a deep breath okay it's most likely for the power adapter and not the complete removal of the Lightning port on the iPhone are we good now okay yeah we're good all right Apple had their annual shareholders meeting where a bunch of rich guys with Apple stocks can ask stupid questions a Tim Cook like asking for a super smart dumb round phone seriously that's what happened to which Tim Cook responded not sure we're going to create a round phone but there were also some takeaways cook talked about the air pods and said Apple is making them as fast as they can and called me wireless earbuds quite the cultural phenomenon okay Tim you're drunk come on I don't even see one out of 100 people wearing them in the Bay Area you know what was a cultural phenomenon Pokemon go or let's go away back way back to this dance craze called the Macarena hi heck even salt Bay is bigger than the air pods now air pods are good really good apples best product of 2016 but Tim stop making stuff up now cook also pushed back that Apple is to Consumer Focus and said Apple will do more in the Pro area and that the creative field is especially important to Apple hey Tim just a reminder we're at three years and two months since the last Mac Pro update brah I'm Axl right a year and a half so I'm pretty sure your priorities are actually somewhere else now when asked about merging the iPad with the Mac he reiterated that he sees them as separate and that the iPad will do more and more so that more people will view the iPad as a laptop replacement but not a Mac replacement translation don't expect the hybrid OS that the iPad needs and we want to ever come all right Google now has a live TV streaming service of their own called YouTube TV that will cost $35 a month and offer a bundle of channels from the big four ABC NBC CBS and Fox and channels related to those like ESPN Bravo and more now pay TV only networks from Viacom AMC and Time Warner won't be a part of it but come on Apple now there's PlayStation View sling TV 18 teams right now and YouTube TV but Apple still has absolutely nothing to show for when they could have been ahead of this a long long time ago you know what I'm tired of throwing out bad apples over and over for this it just makes me sad now like sad Apple now in case you missed that Apple's new campus will be officially called Apple Park and it's one thousand seat auditorium will be named after Steve Jobs Apple parks 175 acre campus will be ready in April for its 12,000 employees to start moving in the campuses ring-shaped 2.8 million square-foot building is entirely covered by the world's largest panels of curved glass this is part of ashnnaise legacy and really one of the most impressive buildings you'll ever see it's also the world's largest naturally ventilated building that requires no heating or air-conditioning for nine months of the year no word yet if the ventilation system is strong enough to handle really stinky farts and the Nintendo switch it's coming out this weekend but believe it or not there is a connection to Apple see both the Nintendo switch and the MacBook Pro feature a USB C port so Mike Murphy on Twitter decided to connect the two I found out that if you plug the switch into the MacBook Pro the switch charges that a laptop and not the other way around so just a little power tip for all you out there all right that's gonna do it for this week you can email us at the Apple bite at cnet.com or to me at Brian Tong thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for another bite of the Apple
