hi everyone aaron here for zollotech and this past week we had all sorts of information about
what to expect at apple's event in just two days we'll talk about that when to expect ios 16 rc
the final release and much more this is your news update for the week of september 5th 2022
and the iphone in the us is bigger than most places in the world but usually still falls
behind sales of android however in june iphone's overall user base in the usa overtook android
according to the financial times it's also in the lead in global premium smartphone spaces so around
the world it looks like iphone is gaining steam and is one of the number one devices out there so
let me know if it's number one in the area you live in now usb4 version 2 was updated this past
week with support for up to 80 gigabits per second up from 40 gigabits per second so while we still
have the lightning which is about 10 years old at this point we're waiting for apple to adopt
usbc which i wouldn't expect this year but would rather expect next year to comply with
different standards and rules around the world so 80 gigabits per second would be great for
transferring all that photo and video information from your iphone especially if it's in prores or
raw basic apple guy created some wallpapers that are really nice for the new macbook air or any
other device and it's the internal schematics of the m2 macbook air as you can see here this is one
of his wallpapers it shows what it would look like internally in the base of the new macbook
air so if we go to the basic apple guy website you can see here he explains not only that their
wallpapers but how he created them as well the process overall the overall schematics of them
how many parts it took to create them there was a video about this as well and then all of the
different options you can pick from and download for free starlight silver space gray space gray
m2 glow midnight midnight rainbow glow and more so i'll link this in the description i think it's
great work they look great and i'm running them on my m2 macbook air let me know what you think
of them though in the comments below and be sure to check it out in the description twitter is
finally working on bringing editable tweets to all different accounts now initially this will
be just in one country probably the usa at this point and will allow you to edit it multiple times
within 30 minutes i haven't seen it yet but you probably have to be a subscriber of twitter blue
and some people may have this option so we can finally edit some tweets and they'll roll this
out and sort of evaluate how it is overall so again it will be localized to a single country
and then expand later the european union is at it again but this time working on forcing smartphone
makers to provide five years of parts for repair and longer battery life stating that they want to
require a minimum of 500 cycles without it going below 83 battery health now this is something that
maybe apple will regret adding battery health and this number will vary depending on your device so
it's something that they may need to adjust for change up this particular battery health and it's
something that apple is already providing they say 80 percent after 500 cycles or two years is normal
so they just want more manufacturers to do the same thing and maybe we'll either see apple remove
this or maybe we'll see different manufacturers add this but either way it looks like they're
trying to force this in the european union if you have an apple studio display apparently some
users are complaining of a high-pitched buzzing sound that sounds like an electrical interference
maybe it's from the power supply or something else i have a studio display and haven't experienced
this i do hear the fans on the mac studio but not the studio display i hear nothing from that
so i'd be curious if this is a huge issue just a small issue but either way if it is a larger
issue i would expect apple to either fix that if it's possible with a software update or
probably i'll issue some sort of recall at this point if they're expecting this to be a problem
so we'll have to see if this is more widespread in the future now with the launch of the iphone 14
verizon is said to be offering a free subscription to apple one apple one is a subscription that
offers a lot of different things so if we go into settings i actually subscribe to it go up to your
name tap on icloud it offers things such as icloud storage up to two terabytes additional things
such as private relay and hide my email and also you can see family usage manage your plan and
then also it offers apple arcade apple tv plus apple news and all of those things are included
apparently verizon is planning to include this as an incentive to pick up iphone 14 from them
so we should see that in just a few days if they're planning to do that
apple watch series 3 is expected to be discontinued in a few days finally as it's
out of stock on the apple store and watch os 9 no longer supports it this is something that we've
long thought or at least i have that the series 3 apple watch should be discontinued as it's lacking
a lot of features it doesn't get a lot of updates and typically when people ask me about which apple
watch to buy i always tell them to avoid it so i'm glad that they're finally discontinuing it
and i typically tell people don't buy one that's older than maybe the series 6 or series 5.
iphone 12 mini is now on the refurbished store on apple's website iphone 13 mini should
be there soon as well as apple is said to be discontinuing the mini lineup for the iphone 14.
so we can expect it here as apple typically discontinues quite a few different phones every
time they launch a new one so look for that fairly soon if you're wanting to pick up a mini also
apple watch series 7 is sold out in many different online retailers and many in-store retailers
so apple's getting ready to launch the series 8 so it makes sense you're not seeing as many
series 7 for sale now this past week i was going to mention some different deals however there are
products i probably would wait to pick up until after wednesday when we have the apple event
meaning i would probably hold off on things such as an iphone 13 model wait for them to
either get a little bit less expensive or be discontinued and go in the refurbished store
and also air pods i would probably hold off on airpods pro are continually on discount now and
if you wanted to pick them up you don't care about a new pair well then they're available
and i'll link those in the description but either way there are a few different products i'll link
in the description like i do every week however many products are expected to be updated soon
however if you're looking for an ipad air like this this isn't expected to be updated until maybe
next year so different products are expected again i'll link some of those deals in the description
now last week apple updated their older devices up to nine years old with ios 12.5.6 it was
released to patch the same vulnerabilities fixed with ios 15.6.1 with that they only
patch security vulnerabilities but it's great to have a device supported up to that long
so nine years later of course i have a video about that if you want to know more specifics
about what was actually patched as far as ios 15 rc or release candidate that is the final
version that's released to developers and public beta testers before it's released to the public
that's usually going to happen right after the apple event so on the 7th or wednesday we should
expect the apple event with the iphone 14s and more but also after that ios 16 release candidate
usually that will release as long as there's no additional problems that will be the same version
as the final version so don't delete your beta profiles just yet wait until the final version
is out to do that because if apple doesn't change it well you just had it early if they do change it
and update the build number then you'll just have another download to install afterward typically
they'll release the final on the following monday so we can expect something like that it could be
through wednesday but monday to wednesday sometime in there we'll find out at the apple event when to
expect that final release but look for that rc right after the event of course we could see ios
15.6.2 or 15.7 but it's not looking good at this point apple did update those last year but it's
possible we could see something however today at least at the time of this filming i wouldn't
expect anything as it's labor day which is a major federal holiday in the united states so i wouldn't
expect anything today possibly we could have some update tomorrow but i wouldn't really count on
that now as far as upcoming air pods airpods pro 2 are said to be launching on wednesday or announced
on wednesday according to mark german we've long been waiting for these it's been a long time since
they've been updated and the new airpods pro 2 are expected to have a new h2 chipset improved
battery life a case that would have a speaker to make it easier to locate if maybe you lost them
giving it find my capabilities and then also have fitness tracking features built in of course with
improved audio so they could have some sensors in here such as heartbeat sensors or more just
to help you while you're working out to get more information so expect those very soon if you don't
care about those again you can check these out pretty inexpensively compared to what they were
new in the description they're about 179 instead of 250 so maybe they'll come down even more after
that event now iphone 14 we're expecting four different models and i've talked about this in the
past these are actually models or dummy units and we expect the typical iphone 14 and then 14 plus
there's lots of information showing that it's going to be called 14 plus this makes a lot
of sense as 14 max and 14 promax are a little confusing and twitter use user tommy boy showed
the packaging for the upcoming iphone 14 plus model all but confirming the name so we expect 14
14 plus 14 pro and then also 14 pro max we can expect them all to look similar to this
in size with similar button placements maybe changed ever so slightly but either way that's
what we expect and many of you will be very happy to hear that we're expecting a larger battery than
last year in the pro and pro max model that would add to additional thickness so that's something
you'll have to compromise on but either way even larger batteries according to mark german so we
could have that and then also that could help with an always-on display that's expected for these
models as well i would love to have apple bring it to the iphone 13 and 13 pro max but it looks
like they may not be doing that you can sort of trigger those i've shown that in a different video
seeing what those would look like so it's possible they could run that down through the different
oled models but at this point it's not looking good with the past couple of versions of ios 16
apple introduced the new battery indicator back to ios however on the 14 pro and pro max it's said to
be the more traditional battery indicator since they have more room meaning that it would look
like the iphone 6 or 8 even the 8 8 plus all the way back to the 6 have this battery indicator with
a battery that sort of goes down as you're losing power so that's something i know a lot of people
would like a little bit better it looks like it may be on those 14 pro and pro max maybe they'll
bring it along to the 13s but it looks like at least we'll have it on the new phones an iphone
14 pro is said to again ship with a minimum of 256 gigabytes of storage that would make a lot of
sense if apple is planning to put in an 8k camera with a larger 48 megapixel sensor if they give us
raw capability then prores then prores with 8k 8k takes up a huge amount of storage and it would
make sense to start it at 256 gigabytes so that makes a lot of sense depending on what they decide
to do but it looks like we'll have that although i would really like a better usb c to lightning
cable that's faster as it's a huge pain to get all of that data off it can take a couple hours now
the iphone 14 pro and pro max display is losing the notch in favor of one rounded elongated cutout
according to mark german instead of the hole punch and pill design we've been expecting for a while
within that cutout could be status indicators for when the camera and mic is in use so instead of
just being a hole punch and pill shaped it would look like this and ian's elbow made this so if you
want to set this wallpaper i'll link to where you can get this in the description set this flip your
iphone upside down and this is the cutout we're expecting with indicators possibly in between so
this is sort of the sensors just in a smaller space they got rid of the notch
made some of the pixels visible above the little cutout here so let me know what you think of this
in the description and again i'll link this wallpaper so you can check it out for yourself
do you prefer the notch or the new cutout either way doesn't matter to me although i think that
does look a little bit better than new style this past week we also had a bunch of news saying apple
could remove the sim tray now this is something we've heard about for years we've actually heard
about this for multiple versions of iphone but it looks like apple's going to keep it for now
so according to mark german they've talked about removing it on some devices but this may not be
compatible around the world yet so in the future with the iphone 15 models we could see them start
to remove it however don't expect that with the iphone 14 models at least according to
mark german now also as i mentioned larger sensors earlier with the iphone 14 cameras with the pros
a new photo shows the iphone 14 pro case from a third party on top of a 13 pro showing the larger
camera lenses you would need that for larger sensors maybe that additional thickness for the
battery helps with that as well and so that's kind of what it looks like at least according to recent
leaks so the case manufacturers do get a bit ahead of that it makes a lot of sense we also see that
on the different models that we have here where the camera cutouts are a little bit larger so
all of that seems to add up also leaker imagine boo showed what the upcoming iphone 14 model
cases look like along with their colors so he said he's 99 sure these are all the different colors
they look like the retail packaging and so that's what we can expect as far as the packaging and
what they should look like not much out of the ordinary typically every major design of iphone
is every three years now such as the iphone 15. so we should expect a very similar design this
year a change next year now of course just like every year we also expect an updated apple watch
this year we expect an apple watch series 8 to take the place of the series 7 as they're
out of stock like i mentioned earlier we expect an updated sensor in the bottom for temperature
sensing and that's about it with the series 8 apple watch however we also expect a series 8 pro
to be shown off on wednesday and some early cases for the new watch from third party case makers
show the case makes room for additional buttons so instead of just having the digital crown and
button on the right we could have additional buttons on the left as well the image tweeted
by sunny dickson and others that were posted to weibo show the overall shape and button placement
and also recent renders sort of match what leakers have said about the display having
flat glass instead of curving over the edges so this should be a more durable pro watch as well
also it's rumored that we're going to have an apple watch se an updated version shown at this
event as well so we can have three all new watches just updated with different versions with the pro
making the most significant changes now we are expecting an updated ipad pro but that will be
in a different event in october according to many people launching alongside ipad os 16 or 16.1
and then also mac os ventura so i wouldn't expect that anytime soon at least not this month
but expect those later so if you're considering an ipad pro you may want to hold off if you want the
latest device otherwise i would expect the current device to maybe go on sale or start showing out of
stock toward the end of september into october so wait for that if you're waiting for an ipad pro if
you want to pick up an ipad air of course they're available and they're not expected to change
now apple's upcoming ar vr headset is expected to be coming probably in early 2023 at least
being shown for the first time and apple reality pro is the name of it according to
mark german he said it's to debut in 2023 and could be shown as soon as january 2023 it's
expected to have dual 4k micro oled displays up to 10 or more optical sensors wi-fi 6e
dual processors and could cost upwards of three thousand dollars so the early version would
be more expensive then they'd sort of bring that price down over time so we can expect that in 2023
this year we can expect maybe updated ipads after the iphone along with max and so that's
everything leading up to the apples event the far out event that's taking place this wednesday
of course i'm looking forward to the release candidate and then to see what iphone 14 has
to offer above what we know already let me know what you think about it though in the comments
below and will you be picking up an iphone 14 or any of those models again let me know in the
comments below if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course it'll be linked in
