Apple Bitz XL w/ Brian Tong

This is everything we expect to see at Apple's September Event including the new iPhone 11 Pro's, the Apple Watch Series 5, Apple TV+ and Apple TV 4K announcements and more. Could the 'One More Thing..." be Apple's Find My App and Apple Tags? You can support this show and my independent work at www.patreon.com/briantong THANK YOU!

Apple surprises us with an early release of the iOS 13.1 Developer beta before iOS 13 even comes out to the public. Apple apologizes for their Siri grading system that recorded private interactions between people and Disney+ just made it a whole lot harder on Apple TV+.

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. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mark your calendars for the iPhone 11 Event on September 10th, it's not official, but an iOS 13 leak all but confirmed it. The 2019 iPad Pro's are rumored to get the same triple-lens camera as the upcoming iPhone, and Siri's not as dumb as we think.

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!

There's been little to no chatter about what we could see in a new Apple Watch, and after the redesign, do we really even need a new Apple Watch Series 5 this year? Apple wouldn't do that, or would they? We talk about the reasons why. You can support this show and my independent work at www.patreon.com/briantong THANK YOU!

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.

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 wante...
