hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and this previous week was full of more
information just like it is every week and so i wanted to share with you the
latest information and the first thing actually has to do
with the next version of iphone or iphone 12
and specifically the 5.4 inch variant that we probably will see
so this is a mock-up of that variant or prototype for case makers i've shown
many times before and the images i'm showing you here are
actually leaked images of the front display of this phone
and so it looks like again it's confirmed that this smaller size is real
which is great because with the iphone se it's basically a
smaller version of that with next-gen specs so i would think
apple will get rid of the se that's just a
thought unless the iphone 12 5.4 is much more expensive with different
internals so it seems like apple may have all of these different
phones in their next lineup but the 5.4 inch
seems like it will be something that a lot of people will like a squared off
edge and a smaller display and recently as
recent as an hour or so ago mac rumors apparently
compared the notch on the 5.4 inch glass leaked images with the iphone 11
pro in those phones and found that the notch
appears to be slightly smaller now this is going to be great news for a
lot of people personally it doesn't bother me even a little bit
but i know a lot of people want them to shrink the notch so it looks like it's
shrinked maybe or has shrunk maybe by an eighth
or a quarter so it's not totally gone but it looks like they're going to be
able to shrink it a little bit as components get smaller and smaller
now going along with the theme of front glass
apparently corning has showed off its latest gorilla glass
victus glass now the first phone to have that may be the samsung galaxy note 20
but it seems like this glass is going to fix the problems that we have with the
iphone 11 pro and pro max where what you have when it comes to
physics is basically if you want something that's less scratch resistant
it needs to be harder but when you go to drop it it may be a
little bit more brittle so it seems like with the 11 and 11 pro
max i have a ton of scratches as you can see here
and of course i could use a screen protector to fix that but
with the 11 pro and 11 pro max in order to have it
be more drop resistant it needs to be a little bit softer
now as far as this new corning gorilla glass
they said they went to tackle this problem head on
and were able to make it not only withstand two meter drops but also have
a four times scratch resistance compared to what we
currently have so if that's something they're able to
do i can't wait to have that on the next iphone i would expect it to be there
and since corning supplies most of the glass for most
major phone makers or at least samsung i believe and
iphone i would expect that glass on the next iphones
so that it's super hard but also drop resistant so that will be great
and of course again you can just protect it from scratches with a screen
protector now ios 14 beta 3 has been fairly buggy for some people other
people say it's great for me i've had some weird issues
and i covered that in a follow-up video yesterday so if you haven't seen that be
sure to check it out i talk about everything from battery to bugs
what you've experienced and more but ios 14 beta 4 will most
likely be next week if we're still on the two-week schedule
however that's only based off what they did with ios 13 and ios 12 betas so if
you look back at that timeline they switched and put out betas
bi-weekly and then weekly so right now we may not see a beta until
next week if they're still on the two-week schedule
and then closer to its release we get one-week schedules since everything's
been delayed a little bit this year it's possible we're still on the
two-week schedule so don't get too hopeful for an update tomorrow but you
never know what apple's going to do because they change it up
all the time so just keep in mind that when i'm predicting when something will
come out it's usually based on or it's always based on data from the
previous year so that we can see what they did and
what they did the previous years before that with ios 10
11 12 13 and now 14. so hopefully we'll see something if not
just keep reporting that feedback and of course i'll keep you updated with
follow-ups weekly now aside from ios 14 betas ios 13.5.1
is no longer being signed what that means is you can no longer downgrade to
it and usually when apple does that it means another small version is coming
now that's not always true but in the past within a week or so they usually
push out another update whether that be a beta or a public
version so that people can have their bugs fixed that are with say
ios 13.6 so it's possible we will see a 13.6.1
but apple hasn't confirmed that to anyone but usually when they do this
with previous versions and they stop allowing you from downgrading to them
we usually see a next a new version fairly soon so
maybe we'll see that and of course i'll keep you updated via twitter
and youtube and other places as well now the latest from ming chi quo
is that apple is working on a periscope zoom lens for iphones
now this may not come until 2022 but we've already seen this from
manufacturers such as samsung and what that means is it works like a
periscope does on a submarine where you have the sensor on the side
and then it uses mirrors to actually get the depth so then it can
move the actual lens to sort of give you a zoom function now
i don't know that this is necessary we can get pretty good zoom with iphones
now i guess if they're doing something different than samsung or other
manufacturers and it's worth the wait then that's fine
but i would love to see what it is and maybe they just have it in the works
since apple is always trying new things now also the last thing with the next
generation iphones the iphone 12 for example
it appears that the 12 series batteries still may be smaller
but iphone 12 just had a battery certification passed through according
to my smart price which was 2 815 milliamp hours
which is still smaller than the iphone's 11's 310 milliamp hour battery
but it's possible that the next iphone is so efficient with the a14 chipset
that we won't need to worry about it however the bigger the battery
i really welcome that especially in the latest iphones this is the
the prototype unit for the 12 pro max or whatever apple calls it
and being able to put a huge battery in it and give us
days of battery life would be ideal for most people so i would love to see them
increase the battery size but again keep in mind this is all leaked
information or rumors it has not come to be yet
and we won't know a hundred percent of course until it's out now last week i
talked about a new braided cable for the iphone
and that apple may be getting rid of the charger in the box and then including a
braided cable like i have here from the mac pro
there's more information showing this cable and it appears to be
white in color and you can see that it's a white cable that would compared with
say the iphone 12 12 pro and iphone 12 pro max and it
would make it more durable more reliable more robust and i
definitely welcome it i think it would be great
to extend the longevity of these cables and they seem to hold up really well and
it would be similar to this one usbc on one end
lightning on the other and then maybe you could use the new 20 watt charger
that apparently has been leaked as well so all
of those things combined could make for a much better experience with iphone 12
but many people still want that charger in the box
now the ipad pro is probably my favorite apple device in a long time
but a lot of people prefer the smaller size and
apparently apple is still working on changing the ipad mini in 2021
and so i wanted to share with you this concept from parker ordolani
that posted this on twitter of what it could look like next to a normal size
ipad or ipad pro if they converted it to this size or the
style ipad so i love this design it still gives you
a little bit of room on each side to hold it so that your finger isn't
interfering with the screen too much it just feels really slick and super
nice in the hands with the squared off edges and of course
this would match what apple has with the iphone 12
that's coming out so all of these things would be great to see
and to see it on all ipads with this sort of design would be great as well so
i think we'll see something like that in the future but probably
not until 2021 now something i know a lot of people would love to see
apparently was found in the code of mac os big sur and that is face id
for mac and this mac is my 2016 mac that's actually running
big sur and it has touch id and while touch id is great
face id is much better on something like a mac i've used windows hello on surface
devices and i would love to see it just unlock the device by looking at
your face it's much quicker although i mean it doesn't
take long to put your finger on this button and unlock it
it is nice to have that face unlockability so hopefully we'll see
that maybe with mac's next apple silicon max or something else but
maybe the next version or the next design of macbook
pro and macbook air will have that now there were some rumors floating
around that apple would release a new imac as soon as this week
however john prosser seems to think that's in august instead
and it won't have a redesign now this makes a little bit of sense to me now
keep in mind it's just a rumor but you'll see said if you want the new imac
keep an eye out for august no redesign and i was hoping for a
redesign but it makes sense that apple would wait for that redesign
that's rumored to be more like this ipad pro and they may push that out for the
apple silicon mac so when they have their own chipsets in
them that makes more sense to do a redesign and maybe just do a spec bump
now for those that want a new imac that can handle their current tasks
so it's hard to say what apple's really going to do some of these rumors have
been back and forth we've been expecting an
imac for a while so to see one that's not redesigned but with a spec bump
i could see that coming out soon but it's hard to say until
apple actually announces it since there's been so much information back
and forth now i know a lot of people are
interested in apple glasses and it looks like apple is working
on a new patent to help support apple glasses
now apple glass may just basically be like wearing an iphone on your face
but using augmented reality could show you where things are located
maybe give you people's names that you know but apparently according to a new
patent it shows that apple is working on making every surface a touch surface so
what that would mean is as you're looking through the glass
maybe you have some icons down here you could press on those icons if those
sensors could realize that this is a surface
and then maybe you'd have an icon over here and you could interact with it just
as though you were touching an ipad or an iphone and i would love to
see that it's interesting that apple's working on it
and of course that would be something that was game would be game changing
compared to what we have out now to the public now
the next thing is apple has actually launched a security research program
so this is for people who are actual active security researchers and want to
try and figure out if there's flaws in apple's
devices they'll give them devices that are
more unlocked or have code running on them so that you can look at different
things and look for security vulnerabilities
and apple actually offers a security bounty to people that are interested
however you have to apply and there's a lot of strict rules behind that in that
you can't share the device because it's less secure
and there's a bunch of other things such as you probably can't show it on youtube
for example so if it's something that you're not aware
of that apple's offering already be sure to check it out otherwise it'll
be interesting to see what apple gains out of that but it means
better security for all of us in all of our devices in the future now finally
apple released a story saying that they plan to be carbon neutral by 2030.
now this is great for the environment in general and anytime
someone can reduce smog and things like that i'm all for it
so apple is committed to that and they're committed to making things a
little bit better maybe we'll see manufacturing shift
around the world with what's going on but right now it appears to be that it's
in the plan by 2030 that everything will either be solar powered or offset
somehow so i thought that was interesting and i'll
link all these stories in the description below that's it for the
information this week and hopefully we'll see some of those
updates this week and if not i'll keep you updated like i said before
if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the
description like i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please
