Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this past couple of weeks was filled with a ton of
information regarding the iphone 14 apple glass apple watch even ios 16 supported devices that
are expected as well and the reason we didn't have a news update last week was the release of
ios 15.2 and 15.3 beta 1. so this is your news update for the week of december 19th
2021 and the first thing is apple was recently told it would have to change its app store policy
to allow for third-party app payment methods however this was delayed in a recent appeal and
it's now pending a future hearing to see if maybe they change that overturn it or reinstate that
it's still pending but we'll have to see how that goes between apple and epic in the future
also apple has updated apple maps so if you go into maps within apple maps if you're in
australia they've updated maps to have more detail so more detailed road coverage better navigation
three-dimensional landmarks and look around share eta and more so if you zoom into sydney you should
have those 3d buildings similar to what you have in san francis san francisco in the united states
new york city things like that and you'll have much more detail now as opposed to what you had
before so all of the same sort of imagery whether that be satellite or explore or driving and more
is available now so that's been updated if you live in australia now if you've dropped your
iphone maybe you damaged your new iphone 13 pro max maybe you cracked one of the camera lenses
or the display and you didn't have apple care apple will now allow you to upgrade to apple
care during that repair time within its first year so typically things are covered from defects
but if you crack your display you'll have to pay the full amount however you can now
sign up for applecare within that first year apple apparently is offering this in store
and save a little bit of money save up for apple care pay the deductible and then get your display
repaired and have further coverage as well so that's something they've been a little bit more
lenient on now over the past couple of weeks i mentioned some deals that were on amazon and
many of you asked me to mention deals every single week in these news updates and so there's a couple
deals going on that are fairly significant when it comes to beats studio buds and powerbeats pro
beats studio buds right now are 50 off on amazon of course i'll link the affiliate links in the
description i'll get a portion of that but you can just search for them if you don't
want to contribute to that and they're 99.95 50 off or so and also powerbeats pro are 169.95
instead of 249.95 so both of them are on sale right now again i'll link both of them in the
description below now also the next version of mac os has recently been spotted by someone that
predicted mac os monterey and based off of some recent trademark filings according to 925 mac it's
going to be called mammoth or the next version could be called mammoth based off of that name
hopefully we'll see some major changes since that's sort of a large animal or maybe a huge
change or indicating something big we could see something like that in the future but based off of
that information it's possible we could see some big changes and hopefully we do apple has been
hiring a lot of people lately to work on augmented reality and virtual reality based off their recent
job postings as you can see here a research engineer frameworks engineer graphics engineer
also another frameworks engineer post here you can go right to apple's website and check it out
recent posts from recently is december where they're asking people to sort of build a new
platform it says you will be researching and developing an entirely new application paradigm
so maybe it could be as revolutionary as ios was when it was introduced so we'll have to wait and
see but we are expecting some sort of apple glass or augmented reality or virtual reality device
this coming year based off of all of the recent rumors so they are hiring for that it might be
a little bit early at this point but it looks like they're really working on it quite a bit
now apple has recently released a new updated application for android that allows you to scan
for air tags nearby there's been quite a bit of concern of maybe air tags being planted on people
to sort of track them and there's a new app called tracker detect from apple simply go into the
app and scan and it can scan for trackers now i haven't been able to find my air tag that's nearby
maybe because it's tied to me but this is my air tag i put on my backpack and what it does is just
scan for trackers nearby and see if it can find anything so this is to help you out and of course
here you can see it's scanning and it may take a while to scan and then it will show
you anything that's nearby so it's just a nice way not only to do it on ios but also now on
android and this is on a pixel 6 pro when it comes to ios 16 and its compatibility to devices
according to iphone soft apple is said to be dropping support for iphone se iphone 6s and
iphone 6s plus they actually said this last year and we expected them to drop support based on what
they've done in the past last year however this year if they are planning some sort of redesign
or full redesign of ios with ios 16 it's possible these devices will no longer be supported
and in turn other ipads wouldn't be supported as well ipad mini 4 ipad air 2 ipad 5th generation
and 2015 ipad pro models so if it's based off of what information they have i would expect them to
drop support for these devices if it's just a guess well we could see support for them again
however these have been supported for many years and it wouldn't surprise me if they sort of
removed them from support with ios 16. however we won't know a hundred percent until june where
we'll have wwdc or the worldwide developer conference and apple typically shows what
devices are supported then when they show off the next version of ios so don't lose hope just yet
it looks like according to iphone soft we won't have support for these but they said that last
year so we'll have to wait and see but either way i would expect them to drop support for it but we
could get another year out of them now when it comes to the next version of iphone se or
the iphone se third generation there's been some more information about that where it's expected
to release in the first part of 2022 and based on recent supply chain information it appears that
parts are being manufactured now for the release of the new iphone sc typically they get them ready
a few months before and they could launch it in the first couple months of 2022. and so it's said
to have a similar display to what we have with the second generation a 4.7 inch display three
gigabytes of ram and the most recent cpus in it as well it's said to keep touch id but whether or not
that be the home button or they switch it to maybe the side button we'll have to wait and see on that
i'd love to see a redesign with that and also it's supposed to get 5g support with qualcomm modems
inside so that would be a big upgrade if you have a current se and hopefully more efficiency with
better battery life since they can shrink the chipset maybe get a little bit larger battery
as well also apple is apparently planning a larger version more similar to the iphone 8 plus in the
future but not until next year so meaning 2023 so we may see that with a larger display and more ram
but again you just never know until we start seeing those show up in the supply chain
now as far as iphone 14 there's some additional news about that and this is just sort of a
prototype that was supposed to represent the iphone 13 pro
but this particular update is said to have a hole punch display so apple is said to get
rid of the notch with the iphone 14 pro and pro max models and instead have a hole punch display
according to the elec they would get rid of the notch find some way to incorporate it in there
and no touch id some people are saying we could expect that others are saying we won't also with
a new cpu and up to eight gigabytes of ram also ming chi quo is saying that apple will not include
a telephoto zoom lens in the sense of a periscope zoom but just have a similar system to what we
have now so we wouldn't have a huge zoom lens like things such as the s21 ultra or phones like that
instead we would just have our typical zoom lens and up to a 48 megapixel camera that can record 8k
so that makes sense you would need that extra ram to sort of hold that information in the buffer and
more and so we could see that with 2022 i don't know that i'd expect a huge redesign as apple
seems to be sort of pushing that off to an every three year model so we'll have to see with that
but the telephoto zoom lens with periscope zoom is said to be for the later models iphone 15 models
in 2023. also apple is still working on foldable devices but many are saying don't expect them
till at least 2024. so at this point it may or may not ever come out it depends if apple thinks it's
worth it or not now as far as ios 15 many people are asking about 15.3 beta 2 and updated versions
and based off of year-over-year release schedules we've had ios 15.3 beta 1 since last week i would
not expect a new update until beta 2 until january at least based off what they did last week with
last week's release usually they'll sort of take vacation from then until mid-january or the first
couple weeks of january and we could see a release maybe on the week of the 10th or the week of the
17th with beta 2 with a final version coming out at the end of january or early february so that's
typically what apple does every year again of course they could always change this up but based
off of them working at home and not coming back to the office until some unknown date in the future
that makes a lot of sense now when it comes to the mac apple is still working on upcoming macs
with their new m1 chipset in them or m1 max and m1 pro we still have not seen the imac pro and
it looks like apple is planning that for spring 2022 so that could be as soon as march or maybe
not until june but expect a 27-inch pro version according to dillon dkt along with possibly three
new displays as well so right now we have apple's pro display xdr which is five thousand dollars
and it said that they're going to revise this with an upcoming version that does promotion
at 120 hertz as well as a 24 and 27 inch display also that has their own design on it and would be
much less expensive or not as expensive as 5 000 hopefully closer to five hundred dollars or less
also apple is still working on airpods pro two airpods pro two are expected sometime in 2022 but
typically at the end of 2022. so if you were holding off buying airpods pro i'd probably still
pick some up since it looks like it won't be until the end of the year where we would have an updated
chipset a new design and maybe some additional features now when it comes to apple watch
apple is still working on 2022 models where we could have the series 8 apple watch an apple
watch se2 and a new rugged version of the apple watch the specific updates are unknown but we do
know that apple is working on new sensors such as a blood glucose monitoring sensor a temperature
and blood pressure sensor now whether or not they can figure those out and get them into a watch
that would be amazing if they could get glucose as no one's really done that but if they can get that
and get that fda approved maybe we could see that in the next year or two either way i would expect
some new features as well as that rugged watch for sports or with a focus on sports or extreme
outdoor activities as well as a less expensive se2 hopefully they discontinue the series 3 as i don't
think that one should be sold anymore they should have just brought down the price of the series 5
and so that or the series 6. now also like i said before apple is still working on apple glass
and recent patents are showing that apple is working on hand gestures to use 3d depth sensors
so just like you can do with the oculus quest if you've used one of those you can sort of pinch or
move things around with your hands apple has figured out a way to do this it looks to be a
little bit more sensitive and better based off of patents but again we'll have to wait and see if
they're actually going to release it last year it was rumored that we would see it at wwdc i would
expect it this year and hopefully we'll see some sort of update with that according to ming chi quo
the second generation headset is already said to be in the works which means they've pretty
much wrapped up the first generation apple stays a few years ahead of what they actually release
so it looks like they've got everything nailed down and ready to go with the first generation
so hopefully we'll see that very very soon and so that's everything for the past couple weeks
news i'm really looking forward to those updated imacs and maybe some new displays as well and of
course ios 16 i hope really brings a big redesign but either way we'll have to wait and see for
the next six months or so let me know what you're looking most forward to in the comments below and
