Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and last week was filled with all sorts of software and product
releases we got ios 15 we got ios 15.1 betas as well as all the iphone 13s the 13 pro max that
i'm using here mini regular iphone 13 and iphone 13 pro ipad mini and also ipad 9th generation
so all of those came out along with all the software updates and during that time there
was even more news that came out as well that i wanted to share with you so this is your news
update for the week of september 26th 2021 and the first thing is i do cover a lot of things that are
actually leaked or rumored but i never leak them myself i don't have any sources and
apple is working harder than ever to identify the actual leakers within apple apparently during
during a hands-on meeting or all hands meeting tim cook said they're trying to figure out
who's leaking this information and i don't really mind them trying to do this because i missed the
days when we had a lot of different surprises and one more thing that we weren't expecting so that's
something i look forward to maybe we'll see more of that soon where we won't know as much because
during this product launch especially with the apple watch a lot of the leakers got it
very very wrong so we'll have to wait and see what this coming year holds but there are some
things we know for certain just based off the supply chain now the next thing is apple will
be adding several new cities to its 3d view in apple maps later this year so when you go into
maps you'll see here san francisco and as you zoom in you have these 3d maps with tons of information
about landmarks and more and you can just check them out the yerba buena center for the arts
and much more and you can zoom in and you have 3d versions of them and they're really nice if you go
into 3d you'll see all the different buildings and this feature is coming to philadelphia san diego
washington dc also montreal toronto and vancouver so as they add the information to maps you'll
start to see them in those cities within the next year or so it takes a while to build all
this data up and maybe one day we'll have them in every major city and even smaller cities as well
now the eu is working on getting rid of the lightning port or any port that doesn't comply
to usbc so with many of apple's newer products we have usbc and according to the european union
they're trying to pass legislation that would mandate all phones and tablets to have a similar
connecting device or common charging device and while i've been wanting usbc for years apple did
help develop the overall connector it's the similar size it would technically work maybe
they'll just get rid of the port altogether but they're trying to mandate this legislation
i'm not so sure that's the right way to go but it looks like they're working on it and we may
have usbc next year if it's something they pass unless apple just gets rid of ports altogether
and does something else about it so all of those things have come out as far as this past week but
there's information about the iphone now we'll start with iphone 13 since we already have it
and in recent drop tests the iphone 13 models are showing that they're as durable as the iphone 12.
they're similarly constructed stainless steel ceramic shield and they're basically the same
as far as construction other than their maybe some thickness some weight and the camera module
otherwise they're very very similar and durability seems to be about the same which is really what i
think most people would have expected however one thing that's a little different is if you
try to replace the display ifixit has found if you remove the display and try to replace it
with maybe a replacement display face id will no longer function they've incorporated this
into the panel a little bit differently apple has this year and if you attach this display back on
it will no longer function unless it's the original display or apple does it themselves
so this is a little bit unfortunate if you like to repair things yourself try to repair the screen
face id will not work on any of the 13 series if you do that so that's just something people
have found now this past week apple released a bunch of software updates including updates for
older devices so if you have an iphone 5s or iphone 6 and you're still using those devices
apple released ios 12.5.5 and it's for all of those older phones that support ios 12 still
and it offers three security patches for a few different things so if we go to apple's security
website you can see about the security content of ios 12.5.5 and we have core graphics updates
webkit and xnu and it supports iphone 5s 6 6 plus ipad air ipad mini 2 ipad mini 3 and ipod touch
6th generation so if you have one of those devices you're still using full time apple is patching it
it's great to see that and just make sure you update to get those security patches there's
nothing more than security within those updates so i highly recommend it now if you have one of the
newer iphone 13 devices promotion is one of its newer features on the pro phones so if you have an
iphone 13 pro or pro max that i have here when you swipe the screen it's just super smooth but not
all apps are yet taking advantage of this and at first a lot of people said that they couldn't do
it it would require an update but apple has recently come back and said they just need
to enable the function within the plist file or preferences list file so developers can enable the
120 hertz promotion in their app they just need to update their app with that and more apps will be
supported some people thought that they weren't allowing others to support it and now you can
if you're a developer you just need to enable that and there's a developer resource for that now also
with the iphone 13 some people are having issues with unlocking your phone if you're wearing a mask
or have a face covering and you're using an apple watch some people are getting communication errors
now thankfully it's working okay for me but apple is going to release an update to fix this issue
whether that be ios 15.0.1 or ios 15.1 is hard to say we'll talk more about that in just a moment
but they need it for that and some other issues as well but the next iphone is going to be iphone 14
and we're already hearing information about this now i'm a little skeptical of it because we had
so much wrong information with the leaks of iphone 13 with the colors and some other things but there
is some things in the supply chain with iphone 14 ming chi quo is now saying that there will
be a hole punch display similar to what we have on samsung phones so no notch but rather a hole punch
and a 48 megapixel camera on the back we've heard this a couple times before and also there would
be phones in the future apparently apple has not abandoned the under the display fingerprint sensor
so you would be able to use the under display fingerprint sensor in maybe 2023 or a foldable
phone in 2024 i'm still skeptical of these like i said because of so many wrong rumors
but it is possible we'll see these in the future so i thought i'd just mention them
now going back to ios 15.0.1 apple could push an update very very soon although they may wait a few
weeks for ios 15.1 we've had no guarantee as to which version we'll be releasing and we have to
wait and see when it comes to that because we just don't know until apple says something so as far as
ios 15.0.1 we could see that released very quickly to fix that communication error with the watch and
some other small bugs with iphone 13 or they'll just wait until 15.1 to patch it all at once
so we could see those soon now based on what apple did last year we had ios 14.1 and we only had
a release candidate or a gm back then and then they just pushed it out about a month after
the initial release of ios 15. so we could see that but if we're waiting for ios 15.1 beta 2
i would think it would be next week as it's pretty early on so we don't know exactly what apple's
going to do we already have beta 1. if that's good enough they'll just push out the release
version maybe next week and cover it all or even this week apple hasn't said either way it's a
little bit mysterious but they've acknowledged the issues with the apple watch and a few other issues
and they'll be patching that in future updates hopefully sooner rather than later though now
when it comes to future ipads dillon dkt is saying that a future ipad is in the works that could have
a horizontal camera instead of the portrait or top camera on the ipad pro that makes a lot of sense
since most accessories hold the ipad pro and many ipads in landscape mode so instead we could have
the camera here that seems to make more sense i think for a lot of people apple has a lot of data
from these devices whether or not they're used in portrait or landscape all the time and putting it
there seems to make a lot of sense also it's said that they would change the apple logo from being
vertical or in portrait mode to being in landscape mode so to go along with that so maybe it would be
some sort of ipad that of course you could probably use in portrait mode but it looks like
apple's not paying a whole lot of attention to portrait mode based off of the layouts of ios 15
and ipad os 15. so it seems like something they could definitely change in the future
now when it comes to upcoming macbooks well we're really expecting those within the next month or so
since apple's been working on them for some time they're in the production line we're waiting for
a 14 and 16 inch macbook and it could be october or even november but in recent versions of mac
os monterey there's two displays listed with resolutions that are not currently on any macbook
with a resolution of 3456 by 2234 and another one with 3024 by 1964. that hints at future
macbooks coming very soon with mini led displays that's what's said to be a little bit of the delay
and we could even get an m1x based mac mini or a mac pro we're waiting for all the promax
and that's what i'm really waiting for the most i've been looking forward to those since i edit
on them all the time i can't wait to maybe get my hands on one and try them out and see how it does
compared to this m1 13-inch macbook pro this is enough to do all of these videos on youtube but an
m1x might speed up the process altogether and then finally apple's still working on virtual reality
apple has talked greatly even tim cook has talked about using augmented reality in some ways in the
future where he thinks that's the future and so first would be vr glasses according to digitimes
apple's vr headset is said to cost around two thousand dollars and enter production in the
second half of 2022. now they have been wrong about these things in the past so we could see
that sort of headset maybe we'll never see it but apple is definitely at least looking into it
they've pretty much admitted that they're looking into it at least by not acknowledging it and just
saying how excited they are about augmented reality so hopefully we'll see something like
that in the future and so during last week with all the incredible amounts of announcements and
changes and updates and software and iphones there was even all of that information as well
so now if you've picked up an iphone 13 or maybe you're waiting for the next generation or maybe
just a couple years out if you're content with what you've got now i'd love to hear from you in
the comments below what you're looking most forward to from apple in the future are you
just waiting for maybe a redesign of ios with ios 16 or maybe something else i'd love to hear
from you in the comments below of course i'll link this wallpaper in the description like
i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed
