D3Live: Nintendo 3DS, iPhone 5 Display and Mac OS X Lion

**D3 Live: Upcoming Features and Release Date**

We're live at D3 Live, where I'm going to be taking your questions on all things Apple. We've got a packed house today, with over 50 people watching from the studio audience. Our host is excited to share some of the latest updates and features coming to Apple devices.

**iOS 5 Release Date and Features**

The first topic of discussion is the release date and features of iOS 5, also known as OS X 10 Lion. One of the notable new features announced is the introduction of kinetic scrolling, which we're all big fans of on our iPhone and iPod touch devices. When you scroll to the bottom of a page, it kind of bounces a little bit depending on how fast or slow you scroll - this is going to be implemented into OS X 10 Lion and will definitely look really solid now. The iOS 5 release date has not been officially announced, but expect it to arrive soon.

**iPhone 5 Camera Speculations**

Next up, we have a question from Duncan about the iPhone 5's camera specs. Will the iPhone 5 have a 6 megapixel camera? Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure, as the current camera on the iPhone 4 is really pretty good and it only has 5 megapixels. Many other cameras do have higher megapixel counts, but something that I've always tried to say is that megapixels aren't everything - just because you get a lot of megapixels doesn't mean all that much, and pictures can still look really bad.

**Nintendo 3DS Release Details**

Another question from Duncan is about the Nintendo 3DS. Will it have a retina display? Unfortunately, no, it won't. The 3DS is going to just have a standard display resolution, but this doesn't mean it won't be able to produce great-looking images. One of the major features of the 3DS is its 3D display, which means that there are double the pixels that you can actually see - one set of pixels for your left eye and one for your right eye.

**Nintendo 3DS Game Prices**

Regarding game prices on the Nintendo 3DS, we know that they'll be about a little bit more expensive than the current DS games. In the United States, they typically seem to be going for around $40 - this is slightly higher than the typical price of DS games, which usually range from $30 to $35.

**Jailbreaking the iPhone 5**

Finally, regarding jailbreaking the iPhone 5, it's anyone's guess when exactly it will happen. Typically, every new device takes a few months to be jailbroken once it's released, so I'd definitely guess that the iPhone 5 will be jailbroken within a few months of its release.

**Conclusion and Next Steps**

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis week on D3 live we're going to be talking about the Nintendo 3DS release in Japan a possible new screen for the iPhone 5 and Apple's release of the developer copy of os 10 lion yesterday in Japan the Nintendo 3DS was officially released now before this was released there have been a lot of people questioning you know like oh the 3D is going to give you headaches um was going to be too chunky battery life this that this that but overall a lot of the first impressions are very good uh one of the biggest topics of course the 3D screen has not been a big of issue as a lot of people thought uh so the 3D effects almost across the board people have been really impressed with of course if you're not familiar the 3DS is one of the first devices shipping with a glasses free glasses free 3D display which allows you to view full 3D content games as well as movies and pictures at a later date um all on the display uh in general people have been really impressed with it of course it's not going to be perfect and I'm sure that there are always going to be some improvements but it seems to be working really quite nicely and with the slider you can actually adjust it so it's getting a little too intense for you if it's a little too 3D you can always turn that down uh some other things about the console as well as far as you know the durability and all that kind of stuff also seem to be doing really quite nicely people have really been enjoying the 3DS of course the 3DS while it launched last yesterday in Japan it will be available around the rest of the world come late March a possible new part for the iPhone 5 has been found on a Chinese reseller website the new part shows that the iPhone 5 should be getting a much larger display indeed what looks very close to be edgo Edge glass now this is something that people have been talking about for quite a while in fact I really wish that you know Apple would increase the size of the display while not increasing the size of the device uh so while there are no specifics as far as the exact size of the display for the most part it looks like it's probably a 3.7 in probably a 4.0 in display uh now this will be really nice as like I said you get the full size of the nice display uh there's no real issues in my opinion with the 3.5 in that's on the current iPhone iPod Touch it's a nice to size but a lot of the other Android phones and variety of you know the big competitors are really amping it up you know getting 4 in 4.3 4.5 in displays so I think this makes a lot of sense if Apple can make this display bigger with actually making the phone bigger earlier this week Apple announced some brand new Macbook Pros alongside the developer preview for Mac OS 10 Lion now OS 10.7 Lion is going to be the next generation of Mac operating system and it looks like it's got some really nice improvements so probably the biggest thing is you will find is that there is a lot of iOS in line for example there is a new Launchpad feature that allows you to scroll through your various applications just like on iOS indeed there are even folders on top of that you also have some new kinetic scrolling which is I'm a big fan of of course if you're not familiar with kect scrolling on the iPhone and iPod touch and iPad when you scroll to the bottom of the page it kind of bounces a little bit depending on how fast or slow you scroll and this is actually going to be implemented into OS 10 lion and now there are also various other UI improvements and etc etc however line is definitely looking going to be really solid now if you're interested you can get at the developer preview right now uh you do have to pay about $100 to get at the developer preview um however that does include that you will get a free copy of line once it comes out otherwise for the rest of us we will probably be rating till a little bit later in the year to get the full version of lion as always with the second half of D3 live I'm going to be taking live questions so all episodes of D3 live are filmed in front of a live audience we've got well over 50 people in the room right now so let's just go aad and take a couple of questions okay uh do I think the iPhone 5 will have a 6 megapixel camera uh as far as that I'm not really entirely sure uh the current camera on the iPhone 4 is really pretty good and it's only 5 megapixels um you know a lot of other cameras do have like you know 8 megapixel even like 10 megapixel cameras however something that you know I've always try to say is megapixels aren't everything um just because you got a lot High megapixel count does not necessarily mean all that much the pictures can still look really bad I mean for example you know like some 3 megapixel cameras look even better than you know 8 megapixel camera so um as far as what it's going to be I have no idea if I would guess it would probably be either five or maybe a bump to eight but we'll just have to see about that uh Duncan is cool asks will the Nintendo 3DS have a retina display uh no it won't uh the 3DS is going to just have a I I don't actually remember the uh resolution but it's not a really super high resolution display the major thing about the 3DS is it's a 3D display and which means is actually there are double the pixels that you can actually see one uh one set of pixels for your left eye one for your right eye it's kind of complicated and again I I don't even pretend to understand it fully but uh you know it's not going to be technically a reed display but it should be look a decent bit nicer than the current DS um how much will a 3DS game cost uh 3DS games will be about a little bit more expensive than the current DS so in the United States they typically seem to be going for about $40 um usually you know the the DS games were going from anywhere from 30 to 35 so it's not a huge dump um of course though if you're looking for something like on the iPhone iPod Touch where you get you know like $10 as the max you're definitely going to have to pay more than that so yeah most games seem like they're going to be around the $40 Mark uh we'll just kind of see how that goes as time goes on um do I think the iPhone 5 will be jailbroken within a few months typically that's what happens yeah uh of course you know every every device is newer uh you know like for example when the iPod Touch second generation came out that took forever to jailbreak on the other hand when the iPad came out it was jailbroken that night so it really is just crap shoot depends on what the dev team has what Apple's fix and all that kind of stuff but I would definitely guess with if you have with like a 2 or 3 month time frame the iPhone 5 will definitely be jailbroken between then anyway guys that's it for this week's episode of D3 live if you're interested in seeing more feel free to subscribe I do this every Saturday at 3:00 Eastern time you can come
