hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this past week we had a bunch of news about the upcoming
iphone 14 given its price and much more as well as we expect ios 16 betas weekly from here on out
this is your news update for the week of august 15 2022 now the battery icon is something a lot of
people have been wanting back with the percentage in the upper right with ios 16 beta 5. however i
wanted to ask you as some people of course are upset that they don't have it if they have an
iphone 10r 11 12 mini or 13 mini and also some people really don't like the design so i thought
i'd ask you do you think apple will be bringing this in future beta updates to all the phones
and do you like the design or do you think they can improve upon it i'd love to hear
from you in the comments below now google with android this past week showcased a new website
to try and push apple to adopt rcs messaging and make messaging the same across devices
so they came out with this website and as you can see as we scroll down it says it's time for apple
to fix texting now apple currently adopts mms and sms but not rcs which is a newer standard
i personally think they should just integrate this into it that wouldn't be a big problem
but i also think imessage is generally better and more secure at least currently so i think
they should integrate this and i wondered again what you think about this you'll see this is the
chat that never ends you don't necessarily need to be on wi-fi for it or or not on wi-fi for it
and other things so this is something that i think would be beneficial to a lot of people
and maybe we'll see in the future but i wanted to know what you think about that as i know
many people around the world don't use imessage but rather use whatsapp and things like that
so again let me know what you think about that in the comments below now for many of you you've
known about beta profiles and ipsw.dev those two websites were shut down this past week in
fears that apple would actually prosecute them in a lawsuit so that's something that actually they
said on twitter and they're both shut down at this point now there are a few others probably that
still remain but at this point it looks like apple is going after people that are actually posting
their beta profiles which is something that should be on the developer website only according
to apple and then of course the beta profile is free to everyone who signs up at beta.apple.com so
this is something that's a bit controversial but i think a lot of people that are in the
developer beta appreciate as it's something that is sort of limited to developers and apple is
very strict on that policy so again let me know what you think of that now if we go into youtube
i talked a while ago about apple trying a new zoom feature in certain videos if you have the
youtube premium subscription you can actually enable this it wasn't enabled for me initially
so i wanted to show you how to do that so if we go into youtube and then we go to our settings
under settings given a moment here you'll see that we have try new features under try new features
you'll see there's one available pinch to zoom and you can turn that on or off so you'll have
the option to try that out you can just pinch to zoom in a video and you can turn it off if
you don't like it and provide feedback so that's something available to premium subscribers and
i'm not sure if it's everywhere around the world but it is in the united states so i've tried it i
haven't really used it a whole lot but it's nice that it's actually there apparently it's going
away september first now apple's 5 watt charger is apparently out of stock in many places around
the world this makes sense as they've transitioned over to a more fast charging style brick with usbc
but it looks like it's out of stock in countries such as china japan australia new zealand france
germany italy and spain so i would expect maybe they're stopping production of these since we're
switching to usbc or maybe they just think it's too slow now and they're not selling it anymore
either way you'll still be able to get them for a while as they've been around for many years
now an app i use all the time that i mentioned in last week's video is one password where i
mentioned in the app update video one password eight has been released with all new features
this is something i use along with keychain because it works across multiple platforms
so not only ios but also ipad os mac os windows and then android so it works across all those
platforms fairly seamlessly and allows me to fill in my password it has a bunch of new features with
a different design watchtower dashboard biometric unlock feature updates performance updates and
much more so i'll leave a link to them in the description it's not a sponsored video
and you'll be able to try it for free for 14 days if you want to check it out and see if it's right
for you but i just thought i'd mention that as it's something i use all the time now according to
bloomberg apple is investing into original podcast content for apple podcasts app this is based on an
agreement with future studios so apple podcasts i've been trying this app out a little bit more
i've tried others in the past but now that apple continues to add features to their podcast app
i figured i'd try it out and it's actually pretty good but they may be adding original content just
like spotify so this is something you'll see more and more of a week or so ago i mentioned
that apple was planning to release new colors for beats fit pro it turns out the three new beats fit
pro are in collaboration with kim kardashian these will be available on august 16th 2022
and available in three new colors that are more of a muted or skin tone color
so as you can see here we have moon then we have dune and then earth so we'll have three different
colors they're available like i said on august 16th for 199 so no price increase here you can
see those at apple.com kim and i'll link those in the description below in this weekend's power on
newsletter from mark german of bloomberg he said that apple is looking to aggressively expand its
ad business by personalizing ads within the apps now apparently internally they've done
this a little bit inside of the maps app to try it out and apparently in the future it could expand
quite a bit so if this is indeed true it seems to be something that many go to apple to avoid
so knowing apple i would hope they would be transparent about it where you have some of those
options for privacy and security to disable ad ad tracking and more where you have apple advertising
we can turn that off as i do or you can leave it on if you prefer that but that could be
more and more implemented across the os hopefully they're up front if this is true but either
way we'll have to wait and see if they actually implement implement yesterday apple released ios
16 beta 6 to developers and ios 16 public beta 4 to beta testers they're the exact same thing
and they're available now but that means based off the recent releases we should have a weekly
release of ios 16 until the final release to the public so next monday beta 7 the week after that
maybe beta 8 and a release candidate or a final version probably in mid-september
releasing to everyone so that's typically what apple does every year so maybe beta 7 monday or
tuesday and that's typically what we'll see with this update now of course we're waiting for ios
15.7 that will be the last version most likely of ios 15. we may see that we may not but typically
apple will release one more update with a bunch of final bug fixes security updates and more and last
year they released ios 14.8 in early september so we could see that of course once we find out the
release date of ios 16 ios 15 will be done and we should hear about ios 16 very soon with the apple
event apple is expected to announce an apple event for the 6th if it's going to be early or the 13th
if it's going to be on the regular time schedule last year it was on the 14th this year some people
are saying it will be on the 6th if it's announced on the 6th we should expect updates very soon as
soon as maybe later this week or early next week if it's going to be on the 13th it may
be a week or so but either way we should have the iphone 14 event to go along with the watch as well
and on that date it seems to make sense that apple at least to me might push it to the 13th
as they're requiring employees to return to the office at least three days a week on september 5th
now i don't know if they'd push that out the day before they're expecting an event although they
could do that that quickly or they could give people a week or so before the event on the
13th either way we can expect it one of those two weeks if apple does what they've done every year
and current demand for the upcoming iphone 14 is expected to be quite high many suppliers were
apparently uncertain of demand but given apple's track record it would seem that iphone 14 will
be in bigger demand as many have been asking me personally if they should upgrade this year much
more than usual so not only is apple seeing more increased interest in demand but also it looks
like people just in general may want to upgrade from iphone 11 or 12 or whatever they're using
according to bloomberg apple has told suppliers to make 90 million iphones again this year which
means apple is expecting the same demand or more than iphone 13. now initial reports were that
the upcoming iphone 14 pro and pro max could start with 256 gigabytes of storage this year
instead of 128 that's something i think many of us would welcome however later analyst jeff poo has
pointed out that 128 will still be on offer or an option so apparently the 256 option wouldn't
be the starting point however with features such as prores and more that we already have on the 13
pro and pro max i think it makes much more sense to actually have it start at 256 but it doesn't
seem to be that way also we're expecting a price bump with the pro models so the regular models the
iphone 14 and 14 plus which will be a larger size model replacing the iphone 14 mini since they're
not making that this year basically we'll have the same prices as last year however with the pro and
pro max we're expecting a 100 price bump in the starting price so up from 999 to 1099 and then
for the max size it would be 11.99 so the regular iphone 14s would be normal and then 100 increase
for the pros now we're expecting an apple watch series 8 this year but not with major feature
updates mainly to the sensor itself the overall casing should be very similar but apparently
we're going to see maybe a temperature sensor upgrade where we would have a highly accurate
temperature sensor based on a recent patent apple is one so that makes sense of course we're waiting
for more revolutionary sensors and then also we should see an apple watch series 8 pro this year
which would be a different casing maybe a flatter display and some new features as well to go along
with that where it would be a little bit more rugged but it should be only a few weeks away
now we're also expecting airpods pro 2. this could be at the september event or maybe a later october
event but we're expecting them this fall and there will be a longer battery life according to many
of the rumors and leaks an upgraded wireless chip possibly called h2 and the charging case
could have a speaker in it to let you locate it if maybe you lost the case or the airpods
so we could have that as well as fitness tracking features built into the airpods themselves however
some reports said that we would have usbc but recent reports suggest they'll keep the lightning
connector until next year when they have to comply with those standards according to ming chi quo
so that's something hopefully we see these switch to usbc if they're switching everything
and then we'll just have one connector for everything let me know what you think about
that in the comments below recently a new ipad has entered production the 10th generation ipad which
is said to look more like the ipad air so it would have a more squared off design a 10.5 inch display
and have a similar frame or chassis to this as well so you might have less features but you
would have a very similar lineup across everything from ipad to ipad air to ipad pro however if the
regular ipad looks the same as the air i'm not sure the air makes much sense anymore as it would
have some nicer features such as a better screen but maybe there'll be something different we're
not expecting also we're expecting an update to the ipad's pro where they're expecting an updated
chipset inside and then maybe some different pogo pin connectors some people are saying we'll have
four instead of three like we have on the air and the current pros and then additional connectors on
the side we've seen some patents for this in the past so we could see some different connectors and
maybe something to go along with mac os ventura where we'll have some features that go inside
with that maybe we'll see those maybe we won't but again mac os ventura is expected to launch
later on so they could be waiting to show us some new features now if you've made it this far in the
video just wanted to let you know that there are some deals still going on for airpods pro where
they're fairly inexpensive compared to what apple offers them for in the apple store and i probably
though would wait for airpods pro 2. there's also a pretty good deal on macbook pro m1 where it's
300 off on amazon and b h photo specifically the m1 pro with one terabyte of storage
so i'll link that those are affiliate links i will get a little bit of commission for that but if you
don't want to use those just search for those products on amazon there's some other deals as
well i'll link in the description and of course if there's anything else you'd love to see in these
weekly videos let me know in the comments below of course i'll link this wallpaper in the description
