Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this past week was filled with news
about the upcoming iphone 13 or iphone 12s if apple decides to call it that
airpods pro 2 airpods 3 apple tv and a march apple event that may be coming up pretty soon that we
thought might have been cancelled this is your news update for the week of march 7th 2021 and
the first thing is apple is facing another lawsuit this is pretty common for apple over many years
and this particular lawsuit has to do with refurbished parts when you bring in your phone
for apple care and need a repair or a replacement so in august they're going to trial in a class
action lawsuit for using refurbished parts in its warranty replacement or repair products
according to apple on the Applecare website apple may use parts or products that are new
or refurbished and equivalent to new in performance and reliability
this has long been known some people aren't very happy about it and are seeking monetary damages so
we may or may not see that going forward but we'll have to wait and see the other thing has
to do with Spotify there's a separate lawsuit or case being brought against apple for apps like
spotifying having to pay 30 percent for example when apple doesn't for apple music so that puts
them at a disadvantage according to spotify and the european union is apparently going to charge
apple in an anti-trust dispute or at least looking into that in the future so we'll have to see
basically apple takes 30 percent of the profit which means spotify has to raise the price to
compensate the difference so that may be a problem for spotify making profits in the future but we'll
have to see the outcome of that in the future now if you saw my ios 14.4.1 what's new video i talked
about this a little bit but this month is women's history month along with international women's day
and if you go into the app store apple has updated the today page with more information about apps
created by women or different stories about women developers so that's pretty interesting as well as
the podcast app and the tv app so if you use apple podcast for example and go to browse you'll see
more information about that women's history month so that part's really nice you'll see a lot of
this probably throughout the month with different things such as the power of sisterhood and more in
podcasts and elsewhere now the march apple event is something i've been talking about for a while
since some people have said we're going to have an apple event then people said we're not
and apparently some more people are saying we are going to have an event so according to ihack
2 pro and then later john prosser the 23rd of march seems to be the day of this apple event
so in the calendar here on the 23rd for example we could see an apple event or at least new products
released and some of those products according to john prosser could be air tags ipad pro air pods
and apple tv so we could see all of those things and i'm most looking forward to a new imac imac
pro is no longer available it was available while supplies last so if you go to the apple website
go to imac pro it says while supplies last scroll down and you can't buy it anymore and it was only
the base model and because that's not available i would imagine we're going to have a new imac soon
we have pretty decent imacs already but we're waiting for apple silicon and apple has said it
will take two years to transition that we've seen the first ones with the m1 macbook pros macbook
air and mac mini but now we're waiting for the rest of the lineup so i'm looking forward to an
imac hopefully we see that very soon and we should see some pretty powerful processors and hopefully
some new graphics processors as well and so that imac will have a new design look more like a pro
display xdr and possibly come in colors so i look forward to that now also another event that we
may see online this year again it seems pretty reasonable that's what we're going to see is
in june we should see wwdc this is expected to be virtual again like it was last year in 2020
and usually it's held in the second or third week of june this usually brings about things like ios
15 or whatever the next version is along with the next version of mac os watch os 8
for example we should see all of these things and then have the betas released in beta 1 format for
developers soon thereafter so we should see all of those things in june that's what i'm looking
most forward to with ios anyway we should see some new features maybe some design changes as well so
those things are really something i look forward to every year wwdc is probably my favorite event
outside of the iphone event now speaking of iphone there's still many saying that iphone 12 will
soon get a battery pack that works with magsafe magsafe makes a lot of sense for charging you've
got magnetic accessories that attach to it but we haven't seen a battery pack just yet so we're
waiting for that to show up we should see one of those hopefully fairly soon maybe at a march event
maybe before that but a battery pack makes a lot of sense for an iphone with a magnet on the back
since apple released them for the iphone 11 series and before that so look for that pretty soon now
with iphone 13 we know quite a bit about it so far since apple's sort of finalizing what they're
doing when it comes to the overall design and has to get all of that ready months in advance
so they have enough made by september when they usually release it so at this point we can expect
120 hertz display a smaller notch whether that be vertical or horizontal we're not sure yet a
bigger battery is in the latest rumors so that's great we would love to see a huge battery in it
and the newest information is better cameras but this time with wide angle being
sensor shift stabilized so we have that in the iphone 12 pro max where the sensor itself itself
is sort of moving around and it stabilizes instead of the lenses we should see that in the wide angle
in the future as well so that's something i look forward to it will make those photos even crispier
also we should see better 5g modems as qualcomm updates their chipsets wi-fi 6e and many are
saying a lightning connector as well so we could keep this for a while and then a faster processor
however patently apple discovered a new patent showing that apple has patented a new magsafe
style connector for the iphone so it would plug into the bottom instead of the lightning port
and it would sort of be a portless iphone with a magnetic connector maybe pogo pins for example
so this makes a lot of sense if apple's going to be bringing magsafe back to the max which is
rumored at this point so that makes a lot of sense and i look forward to that now as far as ios 14.5
beta 4 i would expect that as soon as tuesday on the 9th or wednesday the 10th generally we'll
see those released around that time on a weekly schedule and i would expect it then with a final
release of ios 14.5 sometime after that march event if it occurs on the 23rd so if we have it on
the 23rd generally they'll release that that same day or the following day with an update with new
products and other things as well such as watch os 7.4 and all the updates for ipad and mac so i look
forward to those i think we're a couple weeks away from the final release of 14.5 that seems to make
sense where we would have 14.5 beta 4 on the ninth the final or release candidate on the 16th and a
public release on the 23rd that seems to make a lot of sense so i look forward to that hopefully
we'll see that soon now when it comes to ipad pro we're already expecting a new 12.9 inch ipad pro
that is expected to have maybe a mini led display in it it might be a little bit thicker have a
similar design to this but it said that in the future we could see oled displays as soon as
next year so if apple can't get the results they want with mini led or micro led which is after
that maybe they'll switch to oled with a super retina xdr on the ipad which should be really nice
super bright and hopefully we'll see something maybe with micro led first instead of oled but
digi times is saying we could see that in a 10.9 inch ipad first and then a 12.9 a little bit later
as well as maybe new 16 or 17 macbook pros later this year or next year for example where they're
considering that now also according to a Korean blog called naver if i'm saying that properly
they've said that apple is working on an 8.7 inch ipad mini pro now i'm not sure you need a mini pro
for example but if they're going to make pros of everything else i suppose we could see something
like that now mr white has shown us some products in the past that have actually released and now
there's a new picture of a glossy apple pencil that looks like this second gen apple pencil
that could be a third gen with a different tip where the the current tip or pencil tip unscrews
and you can change them out the new one looks like it might just snap into place it's hard to say
or if they may change it with maybe some new functionality but the second gen is pretty nice
i'm not sure what they could add but we'll have to wait and see so we could see one of those fairly
soon maybe with the next ipad pro now when it comes to air pods i've talked about this before
expect airpods pro 2 maybe a slight redesign as well as airpods 3 with that apple event as well
i really expect these soon since they've been talked about for a long time and are seemingly
ready to go according to john prosser so we could see those very soon now finally there's
some additional news about the augmented reality headsets or virtual reality headset
apple glass one of those and ming chi quo has said that the long talked about apple vr headset
are said to launch sometime in mid 2022 and then the glasses would come a little bit later in 2025
so we could see that and then also this is a very strange rumor but he's also saying that
apple may release augmented reality contact lenses in the 2030s i think that's a bit of
a stretch and while that may be something we see in 10 or 12 years or something along those lines
predicting that far out is really hard to say if we're going to see them in that sort of time
frame but either way it's what he said and he's been fairly accurate in the past but that sort
of stays with the apple car many many years out so pretty interesting rumor but at this point i'm
looking forward to an apple vr headset first that new imac and then wwdc with the ios 15 showing and
then final release in september let me know what you're most excited about in the comments below if
