if you like apple products and you don't know who mark german is you definitely
should because he is hands down the most reliable apple leaker or analyst as you
can see right here 87 accurate with over 500 rumors which is mind-blowing making
him the most reliable apple leaked source now mac rumors just came out with
their new mac rumors podcast and they had mark german as a guest which is
awesome and is totally legendary and within that podcast he revealed a ton of
details about what we should expect from apple in 2022 as you can see there he is
mark german and to be honest i've gotta admit that i was wrong on a couple of
the topics and mac related devices coming out this year because he went in
depth and revealed some very mind-blowing details that i was not
expecting so instead of you guys watching this full 1 hour and 11 minute
podcast i'm actually gonna take this video and break down all the interesting
details that he mentioned into a short and easy to consume video along with my
own thoughts on those apple products and what's actually going to be coming and i
think this is important because the podcast so far doesn't have that many
views only 2.5 k after four hours so a lot of you guys are gonna miss that so
hopefully this video is gonna be interesting for you guys so let's go
ahead and get into those details now the first apple device that mark german
discussed was of course the redesigned m2 macbook air and markerman says it's
going to be coming with an 8 core cpu just like the m1 but a little bit faster
but it's going to be coming with a 10 core gpu so you're going to get a bigger
increase there now as far as the ports mark german said that the macbook air is
not going to have an sd card slot it's not going to have hdmi but it is going
to come with the new mac save 3 from these new macbook pros and it's also
going to come with a couple of usbc thunderbolt 4 ports and as far as the
display he's not sure if it's going to be coming with mini led or not so that's
still in the air right now and very interestingly he also discussed the
question of the notch and right now he's not sure if it's going to get a notch or
not but based on everything he's been seeing he said that he would be shocked
if there is no notch on the new macbook air now what makes this interesting is
that in a previous video that i made i showed off a macbook air without a notch
because leaks apple pro said that he leaked apple cads without any kind of
notch but he recently came out with a new apple manufacturing report for the
m2 air redesign and he can now confirm that apple has decided to stick with the
notch design so i think there's actually a pretty good chance that we do get a
notch and mark also thinks that the notch is going to be a good idea because
it's gonna allow apple to give it the same display size but shrink down the
chassis size to make it smaller and lighter and mark also mentioned that he
wouldn't be surprised if it's just called the macbook no more air because
it's gonna be pretty powerful with the m2 chip and he also thinks that it's
going to take a lot of design cues from the consumer level 24-inch m1 imac which
means we could get those off-white bezels and the keyboard and the next
product they discussed was the entry-level macbook pro which mark
german previously talked about in his reports because they didn't think it
would make sense in the lineup but he thinks it totally makes sense because it
would fill that price gap between the 1300 m1 pro right now and the 2 000 14
inch model so apple needs something kind of in between maybe around 1 500 but the
crazy thing that he mentioned that i totally didn't expect was that it could
be coming with the same design as the m1 macbook pro except without the touch bar
and with the m2 chip of course now i was not expecting that because i figured
that apple would give it the same 14 inch chassis with the new design and the
notch so i guess we're gonna have to see but that is very interesting now moving
further to the next product we have the larger imac and it's interesting because
this time within this podcast he said that there's a good chance that it could
actually be called the imac pro which is very good news but unfortunately he
still fully believes that it's only going to come with the m1 pro and the m1
max chips and not the duo which is totally not what i was expecting because
i figured apple would be doing that because of that little leak we found
with the bottom of the m1 max chip showing the die to die interconnect so
it looks like from his point of view that's only going to be coming on the
mac pro which would be very disappointing and he also confirmed that
it's likely that it's going to be coming with 64 gigs of ram as the limit just
like the macbook pro so that's a little bit disappointing and then going further
he discussed the high-end mac mini and just like the imac he also thinks that
the high end could come with the same m1 pro and m1 max chips and he even thinks
there's a chance that they could call it the mac mini pro just to make the whole
lineup make more sense with the regular low end mac mini and then the pro model
with the pro and max chips so that would be awesome for marketing and then if
you're interested in the 24 inch imac he also believes that the new m2 version of
that imac is not going to be coming until next year which is 2023 which
perfectly falls in line with my own expectations just based on how apple
delays the imac compared to the other macs and now let's get right into the
mac pro which is what they discuss next and mark german personally believes that
the modularity of the mac pro is going to take a massive hit which means you're
not going to be able to replace as many parts as you can with the current mac
pro and as far as the design this one is a total mind-blowing detail for me
because he says it's going to be half the size of the current mac pro
but he thinks it's going to be around three or four mac minis stacked on top
of each other with a very clean design on the front
with the back having a ton of holes for cooling and a ton of ports now this is
very interesting because way back in may of 2021 he changed his mind about the
cube design and he said that it could look like a smaller version of the
current mac pro but now it looks like he's changing his
mind again potentially and going with the cube design moving forward so it's
very interesting and it's awesome that he's confirming that right now and as
far as the naming this time in this podcast he actually mentioned that it
could be called the m1 max duo chip or the m1 max cuadro so it's awesome that
he finally referred to it as that because that's what we have been talking
about for the last couple of months referring to the m1 max quadro in our
personal videos now moving on we have the m2 ipad pro and mark mentioned that
it's going to be getting a bit of a redesign with the introduced max safe
charging and the glass back now in terms of how the mag safe charging is going to
work mark mentioned two different possibilities the first possibility is
that it's going to have the magsafe 3 charger from the macbook pro right next
to the usbc port or the second option is the puck style that we currently have on
the back of the iphone so he thinks it could perfectly match just to help push
max safe and max safe accessories forward and between those two options he
thinks it's gonna be the puck style max safe wireless charging on the back just
to push wireless charging forward and push mac safe accessories and all of
that so that you're gonna be able to charge your air pods your apple watch
your iphone on the back of the ipad and we just made a video on that topic so if
you haven't seen that along with all the patents that we showed off definitely
check out that video the first topic in terms of the apple watch they talked
about was the rugged watch now mark believes that the regular base watch
right now is aluminum so it can still get dented so he's saying that what you
want is a more rugged casing to prevent those dents and he says that it's going
to look very cool and a ton of people are going to be buying it just for the
look so he says it could potentially look like a g-shock or a cassia watch
which is very interesting but then one of the guys at mac rumors asked him
about the pricing on this new rugged edition and he said that he believes
it's gonna be a higher end more expensive model potentially with a third
larger screen size which has been in the leagues from ross young so it might
actually be a more expensive higher end and if this happens it could even
potentially be the series 8 pro that i made a video about recently so
definitely check that out and i'm not sure about that but it could definitely
happen at a higher more expensive price point so that's very interesting and if
you're interested in the health sensors of the apple watch he says that apple
has recently been testing a body temperature sensor for basically
checking your temps and letting you know if you're having a fever or if you're
too cold or something like that but he says that discussion on that has died
down so there is a chance that it might get delayed and on top of that there's
also the blood pressure sensor that apple is working on but he believes that
might come in 2023 or even 2024 and finally we have the whole blood
glucose sensor that everybody's been going crazy about but he believes that's
very far away potentially 2025 or 2026 so we should probably just forget about
that for now now moving forward let's get into the iphone se 2 that we're
expecting this spring and he says that this is going to be a big deal
especially for the up and coming markets like the indian market because it's
going to be at a lower price but he thinks it's just going to get a newer
chip and added 5g but it's gonna stick to the same exact design that we have
right now so that's a little bit disappointing and in terms of the future
mark believes that we'll be getting a new iphone sc with a larger display and
probably face id because we can't stick to touch id forever and dylan dkt
actually came out with some leaks about this earlier today and dylan believes
that that new design is coming in 2024 with a major update and he
confirmed that this year's se is gonna have 5g and a small spec update with the
same design so that's definitely a little bit more disappointing for us who
were hoping for a better design and now with that said they moved on to the
iphone 14 and the first thing to mention is that there will not be a mini iphone
14 model which we were already expecting and mark confirmed that we are going to
be getting a hole punch on the iphone 14 pro models which we were also expecting
and hoping for and on top of that we could be seeing those new satellite
features for emergency calling and texting like we were hearing about
before now this next detail is very interesting and i was not expecting to
hear this from mark but he believes that pretty soon apple is gonna drop the
iphone numbers and just stick to a simple naming scheme so he believes
we're gonna have the iphone and then the iphone max which is basically an iphone
with the same features but just a larger display and then we're gonna have the
iphone pro with the upgraded features and then the iphone pro max with no
numbers and then of course we have the iphone se below that and then in the
future he says we're gonna have the iphone fold so let's get right into
those details in terms of when that should come out he believes it's going
to be 2023 or 2024 but he says apple is for sure
working on this and dealing dkt actually came out and confirmed that apple has
been recently waiting and watching the foldable market to make sure that it's
not going to die off as a small niche or get irrelevant to make sure that they
should actually make a foldable iphone but they are working on different
prototypes as well and they're waiting because the technology right now isn't
there just yet to make it a really nice product because there are too many
compromises that still exist with foldable displays so apple is basically
playing the long game now moving on to apple's ar and vr headset situation he
says that apple has over 2 000 people working on their new mixed reality
headsets and the ar glasses for a few years from now and he says that this new
product is going to require a new operating system maybe called ros and in
terms of the release date for the next vr headset mark believes that wwdc in
june makes the most sense because apple needs major developer support to get all
the new apps and everything ready for launch kind of like the apple silicon
announcement in wwc of 2020 before the launch of the first m1 max because apple
needed developers to get all that software work ready so i totally agree
with mark on this and i believe it's coming this june an interesting detail
mark mentioned was that this is going to be apple's biggest product in seven
years so apple really wants people to try on the headsets and experience it
for themselves in person which means it would require an in-person event so if
apple can pull that off in june then it should be wwdc for sure and in terms of
what to expect from the upcoming vr headset he says that it's going to be
very expensive and it's going to focus on three different things with the first
one being communication so he thinks apple's going to create a memoji-like
zoom experience for meetings and that it's gonna be a very big deal and then
there's gonna be media consumption so like watching movies shows and videos
like youtube videos and then finally there's gonna be gaming so he says apple
could potentially have their own aaa gaming studio in-house working on new
games which is going to be awesome and now with that out of the way we have the
new airpods pro 2 and they had a little bit of discussion about the stemless
design but i think he believes we could still have those short stems from the
current airpods pro and he actually mentioned one of the leaked designs of
the airpods pro case that had speaker grills on the bottom for find my and
this little loop thing for accessories and he says that that would actually be
a great idea for apple to do because apple can then sell more accessories
like an apple loop in different colors to make extra revenue and i think that
totally makes sense and if that leak is true then there's a good chance that the
design of the airpods pro 2 could stay the same but with upgraded internals
like better speaker drivers and better chips better battery life better
software and maybe even ultra wide band to replace bluetooth to give us lossless
audio which i recently made a video on and i think you would really enjoy it if
you check it out and now to my surprise mark actually believes that apple could
come out with updated airpods max which i did not expect at all in new color
variations now i personally just got air pods max and i love them but it sucks
knowing that they might actually update them later this year and i think that it
could happen in december since that's when the original airpods max came out
and that might be a good idea for apple as kind of like a christmas sales boost
or potentially apple could end up delaying them by another year and in
terms of the upgrades apple could make to the next gen airpods max mark
believes that there's a chance they could ditch lightning and switch to usbc
only and give it better battery life but he says there are definitely some
upgrades that apple can make and in my personal opinion i think that there's a
very good chance that apple is gonna add lossless audio support both wired and
wireless with potential ultra wide band replacing bluetooth but that's just my
opinion as well so hopefully that happens so there you guys go i just
wrapped up that full an hour and 11 minute podcast with all the juicy
details into this much shorter video so if you appreciate that and if you
