hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this past week we had ios 15.5 betas we've also got
more details about what to expect with ios 16 and much more this is your news update for the week of
april 11 2022 and the first thing is many of you including myself have wanted picture-in-picture
on youtube for quite some time we've had it as an experimental feature for quite a while now and if
you play a video on youtube like my latest video you have the ability to multitask while using
picture-in-picture you can resize it swipe it off the screen let it play in the background or even
just lock your phone and listen to it and this was an experimental feature that was for premium users
only in a recent twitter post it looks like youtube is going to roll it out to everyone
soon or at least they were going to do that but apparently it got a little bit confused in a
recent twitter post they said that they were going to be rolling it out soon but then clarified this
a little bit later on as you can see here they said just to clarify what's currently being rolled
out is the youtube tv picture-in-picture for ios 15 plus devices if you're referring to the one for
youtube app it's only available to premium members on android mobile phones they've even removed it
for ios so it's still working for me but not for everyone and for some reason that just seems to
be an ongoing issue where they're not rolling it out for everyone although they said they would so
hopefully that clarifies it for you and i'm a bit disappointed that it's not rolling out to everyone
really soon we thought it would be within the next few days now apple is now producing the
iphone 13 in india as well as china which is a move to try and diversify production supply
chains around the world from being in just one country i think you'll see this more and more
over the next few years just to try and mitigate anything going on around the world and apple has
apparently partnered with tsmc who's building a new factory in the united states as well that
produces the chipsets for iphones and macs and more so i think you're going to see this more
and more over the next few years and it looks like that india iphone production is already ramped up
the new tap to pay service that apple mentioned a couple weeks ago is supposedly rolling out in
the next few weeks maybe with a future update and they're partnering with more and more people what
this allows is not only to tap to pay from your phone but also receive payments from your phone
directly through apple pay so you could pay just by tapping a phone if you have an iphone 10s
and newer apple has partnered with dutch payment processing company aiden along with stripe those
will be some of the first to support this and it should be rolling out soon it's already in the
code of ios 15.5 so maybe we'll have to wait for that but it looks like that's something that we'll
see very very soon maybe they'll just turn it on one day when it's available or when it's ready and
then be made available so hopefully pretty soon we'll see that now this past week we had different
updates like i mentioned already and we had eye work updates so pages numbers and keynote are
part of iwork and they added support for voiceover so with pages you can read comments and track
changes using voiceover the same is true with formulas on numbers and then also you can see here
keynote and large slides to a maximum zoom level of 400 percent and edit font sizes more precisely
with up to two decimal places they also updated this on mac as well to include shortcut support
so all of those are available now and they've updated the actual icons as well so they match
what we have on the mac now for the most part they're very very close and they're sort of making
everything more similar across all platforms a few weeks ago i mentioned that apple was ramping up to
support replacing face id components without replacing your display that apparently is now
possible on all face id devices from the iphone 10 all the way up to the 13 pro max where they no
longer have to replace the entire display as one single unit but can instead remove the display
change out the face id components and then replace it within the store that that brings down obvious
cost reductions but also makes it so you don't have to replace the display every single time so
that's now in place at apple stores last week it looked like apple had cut production of the latest
iphone se this is actually the second generation that i'm holding here but it looks the same
and the iphone se apparently is selling well and apple has not cut production according to people
within the supply chain so people like ming chi quo and others had said that they've cut
production since they weren't selling well it appears that may not have been true overall so
looks like apple's still making a ton of them and selling a lot of them as well now i did want to
go over a couple different deals as many people have asked me to continue to do that and there's
a few different things that are live on amazon apple's been selling directly through amazon and
you can get airpods 3 and airpods pro on discount airpods pro have a much larger discount at 189
airpods 3 are currently 149 so you can pick those up i'll link that in the description if you want
to check out that it's an affiliate link so i will get a little bit of money if you use that if not
you can search for it yourself also ipad air 5th generation that i have here is down a little bit
down to 569 for the 64 gigabyte model from 5.99 and also the apple watch series 7 is probably one
of the biggest updates or discounts where it's 329 for the 41 millimeter or 359 for the 44 millimeter
in aluminum or aluminium so those are available now again i'll link everything in the description
below now this past week apple stopped signing ios 15.4 that typically means you cannot downgrade to
that version if you want to go back you can only downgrade to 15.4.1 or stay on ios 15.5 betas this
usually means though that within a few weeks two to three weeks we'll typically see another public
update such as ios 15.4.2 usually that happens and then we'll have a release of ios 15.5 as apple
released a bunch of betas for that so when they did that it also seemed to have caused an issue
for some people that were trying to update their studio display since it actually runs ios so when
they were trying to update to 15.4 it wouldn't let them probably do to them now no longer signing it
so apple hasn't given an official statement but it does seem to be what could have caused that
it looks like they've resolved that issue now but it was having a problem but either way we
should expect an update soon now ios 15.5 betas have only been out for about a week at this point
and usually with the early betas we wouldn't expect another one for another week now apple
could change that we could have a beta as soon as tomorrow or wednesday but usually with early
betas from beta one to two to three we'll have two week gaps so we could see it next week on tuesday
or wednesday again they could change this and we could see it as soon as tomorrow or even betas
every single week apple can change that how they'd like but that's usually what i would expect this
past week apple released the safari technology preview every so often they release a new preview
and in this case it has 143 improvements such as performance and bug fixes now typically i wouldn't
recommend you install this unless it's maybe a separate machine or you want to test something out
but they will come later on in future mac os updates or safari updates but if you want to try
it out i'll link it in the description now with ios 16 we've been hearing a lot of news because
apple announced wwdc or the worldwide developer conference i've talked about this in depth on
different videos and we can expect ios 16 ipad os 16 watch os 9 mac os 13 and maybe a few surprises
as well but with ios 16 mark german actually mentioned what to expect and what not to expect
with this upcoming version so according to him and as i quote from his bloomberg newsletter that he
does on the weekend on the ios side i'm looking for some fairly significant enhancements across
the board including an update to notifications and new health tracking features i'm not expecting an
end-to-end redesign of ios's interface even though it hasn't changed much since ios 7 nearly a decade
ago so it looks like we're not going to get a full redesign he's been pretty accurate in the past
hopefully he's wrong but at this point it looks like apple's going to focus on health and maybe
notifications and more i know a lot of people love the notifications a lot of people don't and
i would like to see maybe a few enhancements or improvements and specifically interactive widgets
and much more so maybe we'll see some other things he's not aware of maybe control center or
redesigns to icons and more but no major redesign this year if he's accurate or correct about this
so that's a bit disappointing if he is correct but at this point it's been fairly stable and reliable
so maybe just making some minor changes until everyone's back in the office where they can
collaborate a little more that may make more sense where they can make it more stable this year
but for ipad os 16 he expects maybe a change to the multitasking interface so where some people
don't really like the interface we have now with the three dots we could have a change where they
enhance that even more so i know some people would welcome that they don't really like it so
it could make sense that we'll see that now as far as watchos 9 mark german did expect a major
update to include activity and health tracking features so again with watchos 9 it's been fairly
stable with watchos 8 but we haven't had any major changes in some time so maybe this time we'll see
more than just activity and health tracking maybe we'll see a slight redesign but we don't really
know until we see it in person now when we do have the launch of ios 16 betas on june 6th it looks
like we may not have support for iphone se iphone 6s or iphone 6s plus that's the latest information
and it's from a reliable source that predicted that they would support it last year with ios 15.
so it looks like apple could be dropping support although it's been a very long run for these
devices about six years of updates so it would make sense to move on to the next generation
phones but still support iphone 7 and so on so we'll have to wait and see if apple actually drops
support for these but based on maybe some changes they make these may no longer be able to handle
those updates now when it comes to wwdc according to mark german apple is not planning to introduce
the mixed reality headset just yet but apparently ios 16 code is full of references to reality os
or the software that's running on that new headset so maybe we'll see a separate event
later on maybe we'll get a preview of something that maybe they'll show and he also said to expect
two new macs so we can expect a mac pro since apple referenced that in their march event
but maybe the macbook air but it seems too soon for that at least in my opinion so with macbook
air being more of a consumer face product and the pro the mac pro being more of a developer faced or
production sort of product it would make sense to maybe see something else so maybe an imac pro
or maybe we'll just get the mac pro and an update to some of the current macbooks in a recent apple
support document apple accidentally leaked that it may be coming out with a new charger with multiple
ports like this one here from anchor so this is not a sponsored video but as you can see this is
a 65 watt charger that can charge three things at once apple apparently has a 35 watt charger
that will charge multiple devices at once as well so that could be coming very soon and they leaked
it and then they pulled the document quickly as it was mentioned in a support document many have been
asking me when to expect airpods pro 2 and quo ming qi actually tweeted out earlier this week
saying to expect airpods pro 2 in the second half of 2022 he's also said that demand for the airpods
3 is less than they expected or less than airpods 2 currently and that apple has cut production
however he seems to be wrong about the iphone se in that sense so maybe they haven't cut production
and they've just produced the amount they need for now and then as people get rid of their airpods
too they can transition over either way we can expect some new air pods by the end of the year
we've heard a lot recently that apple may be transitioning to oled displays on the ipad
and macbook in the future now i find this to be a bit odd since they seem to be all in on mini led
and i would think they'd want to transition to micro led since that'll be even better than oled
in the future with advantages in brightness and color accuracy however according to the elac it
seems apple is working on oled macbooks and ipads as they've partnered with boe samsung and lg
for future display production so maybe they have both in the works or maybe it's just a fallback
but it looks like they're going to transition at some point to a different display and it seems
like it could be oled there are advantages to either one so we could see that in the near future
maybe next year so that's everything for this past week of course i'm looking most forward to ios 16
as wwdc is my favorite event every year i really hope there's more to it than just notifications
and some health updates though let me know what you want to see most in the comments below and of
course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description like
