11:02 pm
, to raise new funds. and a letter to shareholders they say they will focus on investing their own money through a private fund, instead. and at the cupertino headquarters, apple is expected to reveal two new ipads. trying to reverse falling ipad sales, and this comes a month after the release of the new iphone. the 5.5 inch screen. affects sales even further? our guests, including a piper jefferies research analyst from indianapolis joins me. you have been studying consumers and particularly young consumers. what are they saying about tablets? >> they are saying they are not as interested in ipads. we interviewed teenagers, and 66% said they were interested in getting in ipad in the next
11:03 pm
year. when we did it last month, it declined to 60%, so we measured a decline in that number, and i think the event is timely, that apple needs to get a little bit of a spark. surprisingly, the microsoft service, i cannot even believe i am saying that, they sought interest go from 10% to 15%. microsoft guys put something in my hands, and it is an intriguing device. in terms ofou, covering apple, any terms that microsoft is even on the radar for apple? >> they are the leaders at this point, and they need some pizzazz. they are doing this for the holiday season. they got a bomb last month with the new iphones, and they hope they are going to keep that momentum going, that is for sure. >> there is concern update iphone takes demand from a smaller iphone mini.
11:04 pm
what do you know about that? >> we know that is happening. as we have surveyed people, we have noticed less interest in the ipad and surprisingly high interest in the iphone 6+. currently about 60% of the units and we the iphone 6+, were checking today, and almost no stores had been today. >> in case you are worried about that. i am getting one, and i continue to wait. there is a data point for you. i ordered it through the at&t store the morning they were first available, and they are still saying november for me. i didn't go to the company to use my considerable pull to try to get a faster phone, but you say it is happening across the board? >> it is happening across the board. bloomberg reported this back in august, that there is a 13 inch tablet, the 13 inch ipad, and
11:05 pm
that that could change the dynamic. the ipad mini is going to get cannibalized by the iphone 6+. and so it is kind of up to them to have something to add some excitement to the high end of the line. that could be a larger screen ipad. >> the 25% chance of the giant 12 inch ipad. the maxi. what do you think is the likelihood we will see a bigger ipad? and what does that mean to the market here? >> our sources are saying they think this is going to hit a issue. meantime, we are going to see these ipads next week. >> the growth rate comes off this. the revenues have declined quite a bit, as have the unit sales. >> yes, the last two quarters are down. going into the holiday season, they need some pizzazz. they need potentially a gold
11:06 pm
version of the ipad. like with the iphone. they are trying to be faster and even better than before. does this wonderful sort of trend report every year, and one of the sort of amazing trends that jumped out when she started doing this was the growth rate, and with every sort of new major technology, going back to the television, we have seen this growth curve, lot faster and grow a lot higher. kind of a new thing with the tablet, right, where there was rapid growth, rapid adoption, but it also really rapidly slowed down. >> yes, i think that the innovation around it has slowed. at the end of the day, what kept smartphones continuing to grow is it just radically changed people's lives. whereas tablets have had a modest impact on people's lives. and so, i think that plays into it, and that gets back to the innovation question.
11:07 pm
we always keep circling back. there could the modest new features. touch id and apple pay, metrics that could open up further enterprise applications. be some new uses for tablets that we are not thinking about that could we accelerate the growth rates. force, the ibm sales about the apps being written for this, and he gives that not only something else to sell but a way to put their apps in a new place. tim, let me ask you also, there is some speculation about the apple tv product, they could be announcing this thing, as well. any indication this is coming closer? >> there is also some us and changes with a mac lined up, so we are looking at not just ipad news but other new products that the company has. >> so we will circle the date in our calendar.
11:08 pm
so many companies coming up with new products for this fourth quarter. our bloomberg news reporter, tim, thank you very much, and our piper jeffrey analyst joining us all of the way from indianapolis, thank you. how do you stop cyber crime? hitting a lot of banks and stores, with millions of victims? the former director of the nsa shares his thoughts with us about the rash of cyber crimes. ♪
11:11 pm
11:12 pm
whether it was a work activity due compensation, and this goes -- t.j.apple to tg max maxx and others. and the former nsa director keith alexander joined emily chang, and the conversation was dominated by the recent hacking of jpmorgan affecting millions of households. asking theed by general how secure the nation's financial sector really is. >> the financial sector does the most to protect cyber than anything else. they're cyber security is the very best. having said that, what you have hit on is a key problem we have seen in technology. look at the rate at which technology is advancing. the iphone 6, the internet of things, the amount of data that is being created, and how difficult this sector is. advancing at a
11:13 pm
rate that is doubling every two years, and what that means where all of our wealth is stored, all of our intellectual property is stored, all of our government secrets are stored, protecting them is becoming increasingly more difficult. i think what you raised in this question is two key points. one, the tech community, and you are right in the heart of the tech community here in san francisco, has to come together as a group to provide better options, and integrated cyber defense. >> individuals or industry? >> both. across the board. we need a integrated solution, so if you think about that, what we are trying to do is we are computerch of these security officers, cyber security officers, all of these different types of capabilities, and they have to integrate it together, and then they have to then find the attack. what we need is an integrated
11:14 pm
defense. so that is the first and i think the most important. >> i don't think anyone would disagree with you, but show us how that would happen? sitting at home, having a jpmorgan account, a citi account, and we wake up tomorrow, and they have our names and addresses. >> the way i would address it, because you're asking for a plan that does not exist that goes across industry, the hacks exist. it is easier to exploit than it is to defend in this space. what you need to do? think about this. the firewalls, the servers, all of the different components of the network are individual components and not integrated together, so the first thing i think we need is an integrated defense. some companies provide that way of integrating defense, like blue cat. here in the companies the valley understand is you have got to go away from hard
11:15 pm
signatures and go to behavioral modification. that is the second thing. you have to bring that together. >> what does that mean? behavioral models will detect malicious software without a signature, so imagine if you did everything right, and they still get in, we have got a problem, right, and that problem is the way we are doing it is based on signatures that we know, and so the adversary says if you know all of these, i will use 31 if you know one through 30. that ability to detect it has to go away from signatures, which knows what it looks like, to anonymous activity or behaviors, and i think behavior models is the next step for doing this, so that is two parts, and then the third is you start to bring this together. you have to have a way for messaging within a network and among a network at network speed. what does that mean? something, and
11:16 pm
imagine these buildings as networks. you have doors, windows, rooftops, all different types of access, just like a network. you would want all of those to be brought to the same security center in real time if you're going to monitor the building. you need to do the same with the network, but if somebody is rattling the door on that building, this building would want to know also, so the ability to share information is something that is very important. cyber legislation. >> now, you founded a company, cyber security. why would yours work when jpmorgan cannot do it with 1000 people? >> the key that everybody is going to go to is just the model i talked about. i would like to say it was unique, but you have heard symantec say they're going to go to behavior models. there are info blocks and more. everybody is talking about it. we are bringing some special talent to it, and we will be one of the players, but it will take
11:17 pm
more than one company to do this. you're going to have to have firewalls working with network servers, working with antivirus companies, working as a team. if we try to do it individually, what you are getting is the problem back to the guys who can least afford to do it. you have got to come up with an integrated defense, and so if i were going to put one thing on the table, take me out of it, if i were going to but one thing on the table, we have to get the cyber security companies and people working together. >> and what do you say for those who believe the type of technology your company is building is unethical? >> how do you mean unethical? >> when you talk about behavior, people are concerned about their privacy being violated. >> so it has nothing to do with your personal communications, so take all of that off of the table. we can prove that what you're looking at is not indications of yours. what you do, we do not care about that. what we care is what is the
11:18 pm
packet of information trying to do, so a hacker is going to jump on your packet of information and put in some piece of malware, and that information, instead of going directly to emily, it then drops a payload into a server or something like that, or it goes through the firewall, and it does something in its behavior that is different than what you would normally do. >> general keith alexander, former director of the nsa, there with emily chang and stephanie ruhle. we will be right back with more "bloomberg west." ♪
11:21 pm

11:23 pm
keep graduating through. >> so what do you think of the apple watch? we do not know what it looks like. we have not seen it yet. is that going to catch on? >> it is a totally different case of what we do. life.eks of battery you put it on and forget about it. at least the way we see it. i like it. i think from a design perspective, doing things at that price point, materials and integration and quality that people have not seen before. we're going to support it. >> i do not wear this on my wrist, right? do you want to? >> i do not want to wear it, but, guess what? i do not think i was going to have a device that would track me or having a smart phone. things change. completely different. >> millions of dollars. what are you doing with that? >> we are growing our business.
11:24 pm
>> how? >> investing in more products, more technology. >> you have been doing this at job own for a decade. beakers and headphones and now wearable. is this where the focus is now? spending a lot of our time, for sure, but there is a way where this all comes together. you will see. i think that when you have , wet, connected devices were there before people started talking about this, before it , andool being in wearable we were a different application, right, but a lot of the sensors, things like that, and for us, when you understand what is happening with the user, which is ultimately what we think about the role of a wearable in , 24/7.fe, it knows me it knows what is happening with
11:25 pm

11:26 pm
best way to do this. >> in the future, how many things are we going to be wearing? are chips going to be embedded in our clothing, our bodies, around us? werethink different things different times. there is going to be fashion. a different dress during the daytime when it was hot or cold, and at night, and those things get integrated into our lifestyle in a deeper and deeper way, so absolutely. >> that with bloomberg's own stephanie ruhle and emily chang with the job own ceo. vice media has attracted investment from heavyweights, like rupert murdoch, but will that take them into the mainstream? we will examine it. ♪
