. in a rare misstep for apple products, they announced that the new air pods buds will be delayed. this is a big let down for people that have the i phone sevens. >> the first thing that i wanted was an air pod when i got my i phone seven. when we heard that preorders were not available, we thought something might be wrong, then in october we knew that something seriously was wrong. the wall street journal said they think that the problem is with the sync issues with the pods. post pods are sharing a signal

from the pods. apple wants to make it so if you lose the one pod, you can use the other. so both pods get a signal from the phone. they are having trouble syncing the signals together. the other issue is coming from the bluetooth microphone. it has to isolate sound. so those are the two problems that they are having with that head set. but there are a few other vendors that are producing products like this. if this was on your christmas list this year and you are note getting it, samsung has something similar called the

icon x. there are several other products out there that will fulfill that need, if you have it. it's a real problem for apple. the cool part is, a lot of companies would have forced through a so so product but apple is a perfect perfectionist. >> i read that when they were speaking with someone in the press, they said, it's coming out in january, what can people do, i know people can purchase an adapter. >> yes, right now, the i phone seven has no jack for your normal 3.5-inch cable for your

suing the city because he said it stops commerce. the sierra club is opposing the lawsuit. we have brittany king here to talk to us about it. >> reporter: what is the problem with shipping coal? >> the coal comes in through the city of oakland. it comes on uncovered coal cars and the dust comes into the surrounding communities. so west oakland will experience more air pollution. >> reporter: in the lawsuit they argue that the dust can be mitigated by covering it or they said it's not a big deal and the bay area air quality district has jurisdiction. >> where they are bringing it this, we already have a lot of

>> i think that there is a ton of other commodities he can ship. he should focuson finding -- on finding another commodity to ship. >> reporter: we reached out to the developer and did not receive a response. they have filed a lawsuit. it's clear if you read the lawsuit what their take is. they believe that the federal government, not the city of oakland, should be regulating what is shipped in and out of the port. >> thank you for having me. new developments as president-elect donald trump builds his administration. rudy giuliani is taking himself out of consideration for secretary of state. he was considered a front
