It's November, I don't understand how we can be having another Apple event — oh we're live? Hello,
welcome back to ATTV, where today we are looking at the Projection of upcoming Apple events now
it's very clear over on this coast that we have all of these called we do have iPhone 12 we do
have uh Apple watch and of course HomePod Mini, but over here, it's too close to call if there's
going to be any Apple events we do have about two months left in 2020 so there is a lot of time in
this area for new things to be coming out as we see today Apple did just have a one more thing
event but is this actually the only one more thing or will there be more check back in tonight at 11
for more info when life gives you green screens you make bad election jokes hi all it's Annelies
and you know what I'm going to say today was Apple Christmas except this time your parents ordered
you something super late and it got in the mail late but they put it in a really big box and then
they gave it to you and you open it up you're like oh this is really cool but like I don't
know how this affects me right now and you kind of like looked at your brother and you're like
and then he was like and you're like oh my gosh thanks so much this is really cool but why'd you
put it in such a big box like that's that's what I felt like today was because today was Apple's one
more thing event and all the rumors were like it's going to be Air tags it's going to be new max with
the Apple silicon chip and guess what only one of those things was correct it was the new max the
Air tags I think are a pipe dream that somebody came up with and now everybody's holding onto it
so tight I don't know what the deal is but today Apple released or announced their new max with the
Apple Processing chip it's no longer intel core it is the Apple silicon it's their system in a chip
chips and we have new Macs coming out with that it's Apple Processing power and super
exciting stuff for like the developments of the future of computers but I have some feelings so
if you want to know what those feelings are and you want to hear about what was announced today
stay tuned, and and uh let's get into it
First I just want to say up top I'm so glad to see Craig Federighi back I'm so glad you are doing
good my friend Craig Federighi is the senior vice president of software engineering I was correct
and so he only shows up when we're talking about software stuff so he's really Prominent at WWDC
because it's all really software related things but today they were talking about
some software stuff because with the new Macs that are coming out a big part of this new chip
and how it works is with Big Sur which we've been waiting for or at least your girl has
for so long we thought we were gonna get it at the normal time a new software update this
is like one of the biggest software updates that we're to be getting on a Mac because it's
changing the whole design of it we're going from MacOS 10 point whatever to MacOS 11 so
big big moves here and I just really like software as I've said a million times
before because it's like giving you a new device when you don't have to buy a new one so anyway
Craig was talking a little bit about Big Sur and he said some exciting stuff about MacOS Big Sur
first of all when is it coming out that is going to be November 12th so it is Thursday of this week
I'm stoked everybody please back up your devices because this is going to be a big transition so
I am not going to be surprised if there are a lot of hiccups that people have with their devices so
some stuff that's exciting to me when it comes to MacOS Big Sur is that we got three components so
we've got one which I can't remember what they called it but it looked like a yin and yang
symbol and it was symbolizing intel Processing and Apple Processing and then we got rosetta and
then universal apps Hello, Editing Annelies for a little note it's not called universal apps they
actually don't have a name for this feature I'm about to talk about the first thing was called
universal apps between the intel core and the Apple silicon the thing that I thought was called
universal apps was apps being able to be across iOS and MacOS they just don't have a name for it
so what all of this means is that it's going to not only be an easy transition for developers from
going from an intel core based system to an Apple based system but it's also going to be easier for
us as users so one thing that's really cool is feature with no name so what this means is that
you can get apps that are on your phone or on your iPad downloaded onto your Mac so not just in the
way that you can get Lightroom mobile and then you have a Lightroom version on your Mac but the thing
that I think they understood who their audience was because it was in the keynote like three times
games like Among Us coming to the Mac I'm very excited about this I've been playing it a lot with
friends recently and it is kind of difficult to do on the iPad so being able to download the Among Us
app onto my Mac and play it on the Mac that's something to look forward to because I know that
there's a lot of apps that people have on their mobile devices that they wish had a app for the
computer so to know that that's a possibility is something I'm personally stoked for but
they really know what's going to get headlines because I feel like overall this event was the
event that wasn't for the masses, like people who aren't Apple fan boys like myself watch the iPhone
event and watch the other events that maybe have a little bit of a fancier more exciting I don't know
aura name to it whatever maybe people know the iPhone events coming so they're going to watch
it even though they don't care about all the tech stuff they just want to know what the new iPhone
is but this event might not be as appealing to the average user but by having Among Us worked
in there they know it's going to get like twitter headlines and then people are gonna get excited
about it and then most importantly download the new operating system when it comes out but please
back up your computer before you download any new operating systems especially MacOS Big Sur because
this is a it's a big change okay so now moving on to essentially the big dog of this event and that
was Apple announcing what their chip was as well as their new devices that are going to have the
chip in them so the chip is called the Apple M1 chip and this new M1 chip is a higher performance
chip with lower power consumption and so the reason why people got so excited about this when
it came to WWDC and Apple announcing that they were moving to Apple silicon which is like their
name at first I thought silicon was something and they also say silicon and not silicon
so I don't know what the difference in that is I've tried figuring it out and I think they're
just Pronouncing it weird but the reason why it's exciting is because if you look at your phone you
don't have a all these different bits and pieces you have one chip the a12 the a14 bionic whatever
and the phones and the iPads are so power efficient and there's so much that they can
do you can do so much with an iPad or even with a phone moving that to a bigger scale it Provides an
opportunity for a more powerful device and also because of how power efficient these devices are
moving that to a laptop or even a desktop very cool things so like that's the thing you need to
know the M1 chip higher performance lower power consumption that's about it now the devices that
were announced three computers we've got a MacBook Air, a Mac Mini which I'm so excited about and
MacBook Pro 13-inch didn't do the 16-inch I don't know why they're leaving us larger computer users
in the dark but fine it's fine I understand you got many a thing going on so obviously I could
read off for you all the tech specs about the new MacBook Air and the new Mac Mini and the MacBook
Pro and all these things but I just want to tell you what I'm excited about because if you really
want to know all the little details you can go to Apple's website and just look under the technical
specifications but a few things that I'm stoked about is first of all this sounds really silly
but the fact that they kept this MacBook Air at $999 it starts at $999 they bumped up the minimum
storage to 256 instead of the 128 and with all of that three times faster and the five times
faster whatever you are now making the MacBook Air which was the best computer for almost everybody
able to do more things at still a really low price point in their ad they did a little film
thing where they talk to software engineers and musicians and photographers and all these people
and kind of testing out these computers and something one of the folks said on there was this
makes this so much more accessible and I think that's what I love about the new MacBook Air is
there is so much power packed in that little form factor and also the cheapest price that you can
get a Mac for a laptop a Mac laptop so that's what I'm excited about anything that's really cool is
it's got the biggest battery MacBook Air has ever had up to 18 hours of video playback time which is
wow super cool and the last thing that I think is cool with both of these laptops is they've updated
the software because of the M1 chip it's gonna have a better camera they were definitely kind
of like dancing around the idea of we know we're going to be in quarantine for just a little bit
longer so we want to make the camera look nicer because we know you're going to be doing those
zoom calls and even though we want it to be FaceTime we know you're going to be doing video
calls so they made the cameras better but because of the Processor it's like better colors and
sharper images but they didn't say they updated the camera I don't know as long
as y'all can make this stink and eyesight camera look better because this is trash
you guys have amazing cameras in here and you're telling me you can't spare half of
that on my laptop one of my biggest gripes with Apple is that they do not put energy
into that camera and I use it all the time please Apple make it better I mean you're working on it
but do better oh and then we've got a completely silent computer there's no fan in it apparently
it also is not hot either that goes over my head I honestly don't know and then also touch id which
yay we love touch id in this house we are touch id stands here bringing that to the MacBook Air
very nice now when they pulled this little square on screen I lost it because will I ever own a Mac
Mini I do not think so however the Mac Mini is a fantastic computer because it brings the ability
to have a Mac desktop to somebody at the cheapest possible price this Mac Mini is going to start at
$699 and there's so many more upgrade options you got the good cooling system so there is a
fan in there but it's different and more ports on the back there's an HDMI port now it's what
I love about the Mac Mini is you can connect any any display to it and now you have a Mac
in your home I've heard of people connecting it to their TVs having it in their entertainment systems
connecting it to old monitors it's so nice because it's a desktop computer in such a small form
factor, so if you need to move with it like in some weird world of if you couldn't have a laptop
but you needed a mobile desktop computer like that would do the job and I think once again it all
really comes from a place of like accessibility it is a cheaper computer you can get a cheap
shitty display if you really needed a computer and it would work it might not look the prettiest
but it would do the job and then lastly of course we've got the new 13-inch MacBook Pro pretty much
all same vibe updates of the MacBook Air obviously it's different because it's a Pro it's not an Air
it's way more designed for the creative and the person who's doing the heavy lifting computer work
but one thing I would like to add is that they also updated the microphones in it supposedly
there's three studio microphones so it will sound so much better which is going to be once again
great for the video calls but they also mentioned about like recording singing so I'm interested to
see how that sounds because that sounds pretty uh ambitious but I don't know we'll see and then
of course the 2.8 times faster CPU the five times better graphics performance and then
actually the biggest battery we've ever seen in an Apple laptop which is up to a 20 hour battery life
which especially when it comes to a Pro because these guys can be energy hogs is super impressive
and something overall is that all of these computers with their new like state-of-the-art
chip that is like changing the game all of the prices are staying at the price that that computer
has been at for years or going down a level so the MacBook Air the base level has always
been $999 now it's $999 but with 256 gigabytes of storage instead of 128 the MacBook Pro 13 inch has
always been baseline $1299 for like I want to say at least like seven years and it's still that way
and then when it comes to the Mac Mini according to Apple it's a hundred dollars cheaper than the
previous gen Mac Mini, which hadn't been updated in years so $699 for the Mac Mini I will always
think from the perspective of myself when I was scrounging together pennies to get my first
Mac and I i think when people forget about that they forget about the average user of the Mac
is a great computer and I would say to anybody if you're looking to get a computer like get a Mac
like unless if you're doing gaming there's obviously you have questions every time you ask
for advice about computers and maybe a Mac might not be great for you but for a general user I
love Macs I think they are fantastic devices but they are expensive and it's a worthwhile
purchase but just because it's worth the money doesn't mean people have the money right away
so knowing that Apple seems to be focusing on that fact makes the broke —- in me happy.
now in my Apple Christmas analogy I said that this was a really big box with a small gift in
it they said here's the chip uh macOS Big Sur is coming out on Thursday here's the computers bye
also the pc guy I was really expecting Justin long to show up that he was a Mac and a pc that was a
very nice treat because I also almost clicked out and then nelson pc guy showed up so that was a fun
nostalgia nod so it is Tuesday November 10th 2020 as of filming this the day of the event
and all of these Macs are available to order today which is also be exciting if you were somebody who
was in the market for a new man because they'll be available next week so that's pretty cool starting
on Thursday macOS Big Sur will be available for download please back up your devices please please
please and then uh that was it that was the end of the list for my notes I don't know why I acted
like there was a third thing but something else I did want to talk about is that when I was kind of
like doing my searching on the website something I found interesting is that there is no more option
to choose a Processing power because it's one chip and now the M1 chip is arm
technologies architecture it's an arm architecture which stands for Advanced RISC Machine, so I found
that to be an interesting revelation because that means you can no longer choose to have more cores
or a higher processing power when the MacBook Pro or like an iMac Pro or Mac Pro get Apple Silicon
is it gonna be M1 and M2 because supposedly this is an eight core chip and I don't just as somebody
who I've got the MacBook Pro and I looked at all the different cores and the Processing powers I
can get and I upgraded it all to the top because I wanted to make sure it would be working well for
everything I needed to do but now to know that if you got a MacBook Pro 13 inch there's only
one version for you to get you can obviously upgrade the ram but that you don't need to worry
about the Processor it all just kind of goes over my head just a little bit like I think I'm getting
it and then I'm like oh yeah I got it I got it and then it just skims right by the top of my head and
I just go oh I get so much of it and they're just pieces that are missing and I can't articulate
well enough to look up what I don't get that's the thing that this event focused primarily on
all those little tech things that I watch and I'm really interested in but I just can't like connect
the dots I feel like this event was a lot of tech mumbo jumbo without of a lot of mass appeal
excitement and I feel like they tried to worm that in to be like hey look it's really good for
photographers and look you can do Among Us, but a lot of it was things that were just a lot so
so um this was very all over the place but that is it for what was announced at this event if I
had to give like my final thoughts is that I'm excited for the future of Mac because so far it
seems like this is going to be a really cool step forward and I just want to see where it goes next
it just makes me excited for the future there's nothing that I'm personally excited for because
I'm not in the market for a computer but I take that back I'm very excited for MacOS Big Sur if
you are excited about anything I talked about in this video let me know what it is in the comments
if you're somebody who's like me who really likes Apple and I'm really into all the tech stuff
but maybe you understood this more than me like what does this event mean to you or if
you are more of the average consumer of like 'I like knowing about the new iPhone but when they
start getting into the GPUs and CPUs I zone out', is there anything that I mentioned today that is
getting you also excited for this stuff happening or are you just excited for the free software
like I am. I don't know let me know what your thoughts are in the comments down below if y'all
enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up, I would really appreciate it. It really supports my
channel subscribe to the channel if you are new I make tech videos and general me nonsense related
videos so if you're interested in either of that hit that subscribe button and then of course if
you want to help support the channel anyway I do have a patreon you can check that out I'm looking
at revamping it in the next year so if there's any feedback you'd like to see on the patreon
things that would make it more worth it for you hit me up let me know in a comment or message me
email me otherwise that is it for me thank you all so much for watching thanks for hanging out
with me and like letting me geek out to you over an event I wasn't expecting and uh it's fun and
in quarantine times it's nice to have a change of pace you don't get an Apple event every day but by
the looks of it we might be getting one at least every month I don't think Apple has the budget
to keep up with this but I mean it's Apple we're talking about that was dumb, okay, thanks so much
for watching, stay beautiful, have a marvelous day, and I'll see you in the next one, bye!
