Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and last week there was a lot of information coming out about
the upcoming iphone and of course ios 14.5 beta 5 and ios 14.4.2 launched as well i had separate
videos on those but let's talk about all of the different things coming out or things that have
launched and so this is your news update for the week of march 28 2021 and the first thing is if
you use apple maps you may have the availability of speed cameras in new locations in new countries
so if you go into maps and maybe you're in europe or new zealand for example different locations
now have access to speed cameras the netherlands australia austria belgium sweden and new zealand
all should be seeing these or start seeing the speed cameras depending on where you live
they should start showing up in apple maps some people have seen these some have not so it may
take some time to show up but you should start seeing them soon now the next thing is with apple
music apple has partnered with warner music and accenture interactive's rothko to bring new sales
playlists these playlists are to help people that have speech sound disorder or ssd and they contain
tracks that can help by teaching those with ssd to repeat challenging words syllables and phrases and
basically help them speak more naturally over time so this is just a way to help people out
and you could think of this as an accessibility feature that's just brought to apple go into
search or brought to apple music go into search search for sales and you'll see these playlists
there's quite a few of them as well now apple is starting to implement even tighter security
control at their factories to help prevent leaks there's been a lot of leaks this year
whether you're talking about iphone leaks or air pods or anything we're going to talk about today
but apple is trying to really stop a lot of those leaks it spoils a lot of it of course and some of
it is just we want to know what's coming out of course and then some people are leaking that and
some shouldn't be so apple is trying to figure out exactly where they're coming from and put
an end to those and so we may see less leaks it's hard to say so far we haven't now the first thing
is with iphone 13 iphone 13 is expected this year in september just like every year we have
a new launch around september and for many people this will be an exciting thing because apple has
apparently shrunk the notch this is thanks to a greek repair provider i repair that leaked some
front cover glass pieces to mac rumors and so they came in 5.4 inch 6.1 and 6.7 inch
display sizes which line up with what we have today and as you can see the notch is a little
bit smaller it's a little less small horizontally instead of vertically we thought maybe it'd be
pushed back into the bezel more but it seems like it's a little bit narrower now based on what this
glass looks like so we should see this in the upcoming iphones with a smaller face id module
they haven't been able to eliminate it completely but it looks like it's going to get smaller
now of course we're going to have a 120 hertz display that's pretty much a given at this point
with an always on display as well according to max wine back and everything apple pro and so
according to them we should see that as well as a new matte black option for the iphone so we could
see a new matte black that looks similar to graphite but has more of the iphone 5 style dark
color to it which is something i really like now it could be similar to the iphone 5 or even darker
and as you can see here it has chipped over time but this is the dark or flat black color on iphone
5 and if this was one of my favorites hopefully we see something like this soon and as you can
see this is what it would look like thanks to some renders by ian and so this looks really nice
hopefully we see that with the next iphone also the sides are said to adopt a new anti-smudge
coating now on the iphone 12 pro and 12 pro max we have this nice glossy stainless steel but it shows
a lot of smudges and fingerprints if you use this day today you can see i haven't cleaned this off
and you can see smudges all over it and so it's just sort of naturally when you're holding to it
not using a case you'll see those and hopefully they'll be able to eliminate those with some
future changes to maybe a coding like you have on the iphone's display and oleophobic coding
something like that now the back is also said to have a smaller camera bump we've heard this before
but it seems like we're going to have a slightly different camera arrangement and a smaller camera
bump so the one on the 12 pro max for example here is quite prominent it sticks out a bit it could be
more of a flat glass look to it maybe easier to manufacture and have some different lenses in it
as well so it's said to look slightly different we've heard this from quite a few different
sources so it seems like this is very likely and then also apple is said to be focusing on battery
as well with the next iphone so we would have the next iphone chipset that would also be more
efficient maybe the a15 for example but a larger battery that would take up maybe the same amount
of space maybe it's more dense or maybe it's just larger overall but either way it would be able
to provide the phone with even more battery life which i know a lot of people would really enjoy so
hopefully we'll see something like that and we'll have to wait and see but it's said to be
some of their focus this year now the next thing is air pods and we've heard a lot about air pods
and there's a lot of conflicting information going back and forth for example ming chi kuo or kuo
ming qi depending on how you want to say it says that the new airpods are said to launch in the
third quarter of 2021 since they're manufacturing around the third or quarter so maybe they won't
launch until the fourth quarter but prior to this it was thought that we'd see the new airpods very
soon now they're said to be airpods 3 and airpods pro 2. so maybe we'll see airpods 3 soon and the
pro later or maybe we won't see anything at all but there's so many conflicting reports right now
it's hard to say and they're up in the air but i did want to show you one service that i got to use
recently this is not an advertisement but i wanted to talk about it quickly and that's pod swap
pod swap is a new service that you can swap your air pods to and these are my old air pods they're
kind of gross and they don't work anymore the battery lasts about 20 minutes if you're lucky
and what pod swap does is for about 60 or so they swap out the battery and send you new ones
that have been fully cleaned so they're just like these just refurbished with a new battery
for about sixty dollars and then they give you a prepaid shipping package to ship them back so
you're recycling your air pods and yes you could buy a new pair and throw these out but at least
you can extend the life of these for at least the same life you had before with the original battery
they swapped them out and as you can see they don't look any different in the pictures i took so
they're not any different whatsoever so i thought it was a nice service since those airpods were
just sitting around at my house i don't really like to throw away those sorts of things
now i can just have new air pods or refurbish air pods that have been fully cleaned and have new
batteries so i thought i'd mention that and it's a newer startup that i thought was really useful
since apple doesn't offer that pod swap offers it and so i thought i'd mention it but let me know
what you think about it in the comments below also ios 14.5 release candidate and its final release
should be coming hopefully within a couple weeks now there's conflicting information here as well
as to whether or not we'll see beta 6 tomorrow on the 30th many people are saying we'll see beta 6
tomorrow or we could see the release candidate there's also more information saying to expect
an apple invite as soon as tomorrow for an event in april if we do see an apple event then we
can expect the release candidate tomorrow and a final release of ios 14.5 around the 6th of april
if we don't we can expect maybe beta sixth then a release candidate then a final release the
following week so i think we're a couple weeks out at this point from a final release but we
definitely should see something either tuesday or wednesday of this week based on what we've
been seeing in the past couple of weeks now now as far as wwdc we still haven't had any invitations
normally they go out in the mid of march and so far we haven't had the worldwide
developer conference 2021 invitations or even an announcement about the event so at this point
maybe we're going to see something different this year since we will have another virtual
event it seems or maybe we won't but generally that's in june and then we'll see ios 15 and the
next version of mac os which were both recently referenced in webkit code webkit is the code
behind safari on your phone and both ios 15 and mac os 12 were referenced in that code so they
are working on it of course when we see it is hard to say but again look for ios 14.5 within
the next couple weeks at least released to the public based on what it looks like they're doing
we're very final based on how the overall use of it is it's performing well i've had no issues so
i really think we'll see it fairly soon apple's working on the next generation macbooks as we all
know it should have some new ports maybe hdmi maybe sd card readers i've talked about that
before but with upcoming macbooks patently apple has found that apple is working on deployable feet
to help with cooling now the current macbooks with apple silicon in them such as the m1 macbook air
and macbook pro barely require any cooling at all in fact the macbook air doesn't even have a fan
the macbook pro does have one and it doesn't even get that warm but apple is working on deployable
feet apparently to help maybe raise this up a little bit based on these patents where these
feet could push out and give more clearance to the bottom of the macbook making sure that it stays
cool all the time if you're doing intensive tasks so that's references maybe future max with apple
silicon that is much more powerful and generates more heat right now it's not really necessary but
future versions definitely could but it's a very elegant solution where they would push out with a
lever mechanism where i think that would make a lot of sense for apple to keep a similar design
but just be able to raise the mac up a little bit also mac os 11.3 beta 5 references two unreleased
imacs the upcoming imac is said to look like the pro display xdr as i've talked about before
but there's new code that references imac 21 comma 1 and imac 21 comma 2. according to mark german
the new macs have the code name j456 and j457 so apple's actively working on them and we're just
waiting to see them at this point now also mark german has said that apple is working on a more
ruggedized version of the apple watch that instead of having a titanium casing or metal casing like
this one it would have more of a rubberized casing where if you're using it in extreme environments
it would be more practical so you could have it to maybe go hiking with and not worry about or
maybe you're swimming and scuba diving and you don't want to worry about it it would maybe be
able to go deeper and also just be more rugged in general so we could see something like that
there's no date given but it seems like apple is actively working on that as well also mac rumors
found a patent showing that apple is researching wrap around displays that could wrap into the
band itself so it could go from here all the way down into the band and i just thought this
was something a little bit different we've seen these from other manufacturers but apple could
be actively working on a touch screen that wraps either partially or all the way around the band
according to a recent patent now we've heard a lot about air tags and we've been waiting for them
and according to everything apple pro and max wine back they've said that the upcoming air tags
will be slightly larger than a 50 cent coin and about three times as thick that's fairly small it
gives it about the same size as a tile without the squared off edges and makes sense it has to house
a battery and the chipset to do what it needs to do so it can't be super small but that's fairly
small and makes a lot of sense maybe it will even fit on the apple watch charger for example now
in ios 14.5 or ipad os 14.5 beta 5 code there's mention of an a14x cpu that we haven't seen yet
that could be for the next generation ipad that's supposed to have a mini led display for example
so we could see that very soon if we do have an apple event soon as well so hopefully we see that
and then finally an apple tv many people have been asking when is the next apple tv it's been quite
a long time since we've seen a new one and tv os 14.5 beta 5 has removed any reference to the name
siri remote and has replaced them with the name apple tv remote also the previously
named home button has been renamed to tv button in the code as well so
all of these things hint at a future apple tv it's been a long time since we've had one of those
i would expect an update to an apple tv soon many have said it's been ready to go for quite some
time and whether or not it takes an event for them to update it is hard to say but right now
it looks like they're referencing new hardware in the code anyway so hopefully we see something new
it's getting a little bit slow mine is acting a little strange from time to time so hopefully
we see something new soon and so that's it for all the news this past week i'm looking
really forward to the next iphone as well as ios 14.5 launching and then of course ios 15 since
that should have all of the new features in it or whatever apple's going to do next also i'm looking
forward to that new imac as the new m1 max are so fast they've basically replaced my mac pro so
i'm looking forward to that what are you looking most forward to let me know in the comments below
