We finally get our first Apple Watch Series 5 leaks and it only confirms what I've said before, this is an Apple Watch Series '4S' type of year. Apple TV+ will reportedly cost $9.99 a month, but it still has done nothing to excite me. Plus, I got rejected from the Apple Card. Yup, rejected.

iPhone 11 Pro is rumored name for triple-lens camera phone?!? (Apple Bitz XL, Ep. 81) Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

What does 'Pro' even mean to Apple anymore? If rumors are correct the triple-lens iPhone is 'Pro', but so is an iPad with a stylus, and an iMac Pro and MacBook Pro are the most powerful Macs. Does 'Pro' just mean 'best' to Apple now? Plus, the Apple Card has arrived, but I'm still waiting. Support this show and my independent work at www.patreon.com/briantong THANK YOU!

Show notes

Apple's Q3 earnings are in and there's a lot to pull from them. The iPhone made up less than 50% of revenue for Apple for the first time since 2012. Services, Macs, and Wearables make up the difference for another record quarter. Plus, 'Mac Book' disses Apple in a Microsoft ad.

iPhone getting in-display Touch ID for...China? (Apple Bitz XL, Ep. 75) Jul 04, 2019

Show notes

A report says Apple is planning on releasing a new iPhone with an in-display fingerprint sensor, but only in China to help drive down costs in that market. Is this baloney? Apple's using AR Kit so it looks like you're making eye contact with Facetime videos...but you aren't. Creepy, but cool. Because they should be bringing that to the US. Plus, the Jony Ive inspired Apple Car that you never wanted. You can support this show and my independent work at www.patreon.com/briantong THANK YOU!
