Hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this past week was filled with news about different
things apple has announced as well as when to expect wwdc we didn't have an ios 15.5 update
yet so we'll talk about that and much more this is your news update for the week of march 28 2022 and
the first thing is last week apple had a massive outage they had a bunch of outages that affected
everything from imessage to icloud and more and it lasted a few hours and then after it was repaired
it seems to have lasted on and on back and forth depending on what service we're talking about
however it's all resolved now and if you ever want to see it you can see apple's system status here
this is all of their different services and i'll leave a link to this in the description but this
lets you know that they currently acknowledge that there's a problem and whether or not something
has been resolved you'll actually see it here if there's an ongoing outage and they'll have green
red and yellow as well so they'll have different system statuses and you can see what's going on in
each individual category so again i'll link that in the description below now if you use apple maps
apple updated this in canada so if we go into maps within maps apple updated 3d maps in vancouver
montreal and toronto so if we zoom in here you'll see we've got buildings but if i tap on 3d we've
got 3d buildings with different landmarks and more this is something we've had in different cities
around the world such as san francisco and new york city for example and now it's available in
three different cities in canada hopefully we'll see this rolled out more and more across the world
but apple is slowly rolling it out all around the world so this is very very nice to have if you're
using apple maps also if you're in the uk and you use apple maps apple looks to be recruiting
pedestrian surveys to sort of update look around and provide up-to-date data so sort of requesting
or maybe getting people to walk around and scan the different areas to get more information
about the uk so that's something that you may be familiar with if you're in the united kingdom and
if you've had any of those surveys roll out to you i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
now with the recent introduction of the iphone se 3rd generation it appears apple is already cutting
production for it so this is the second generation and when they release the third generation it
looks exactly the same with a red offering and similar colors as well with different shades
apparently apple cut production due to a weaker than expected demand according to nikkei asia so
that's not really something that surprises me so much as it looks like it's a good phone but it's
not really new and it'll probably sell very well over time but initially they may have made a ton
of them and this could really just be they already made a bunch they're pulling back production
waiting for them to sell and then ramping production back up but it is a great phone
i'll have a review on my channel very soon this past week beats fit pro got an update now these
are powerbeats pro but i don't have beats fit pro they got an update bringing their firmware version
to 4e64 and so if you have them you'll be able to update them similar to how you update airpods
it's not very straightforward you basically plug them in make sure they're charged plug in your
iphone set them together basically pair them and walk away and hope they update there's no
easy way to just say update these but the update is available apple did not say what's included
in the update however yesterday we had the oscars of course with its regular drama and tim cook was
said to be in attendance where apple tv plus won best picture for the movie coda if you haven't
seen this movie it's definitely worth a watch and it's historic because it's a predominantly deaf
cast so this is something that was really good i thought it was a very wholesome decent picture
and something that i recommend most people watch if you haven't already so it's on apple tv plus
and they won that and this is from apple's newsroom now the eu has agreed provisionally
to a law that would force apple to allow side loaded apps an alternative app store so not
just the regular app store and this is a big one imessage working interoperably so meaning that it
would work between different messaging platforms so it would mean imessage will have to open up
and interoperate with smaller messaging platforms if they request it so maybe whatsapp and facebook
messenger or other messengers telegram and more so that's something we could see in the future
this is in the eu and if they're going to have to roll it out there they'll probably do it worldwide
i would love to see imessage everywhere but again this would force apple to have a different app
store and allow you to sideload apps as well that could definitely cause issues with security if
you're not careful installing different things and that's the the thing apple has said all along but
of course if you know what you're doing you can side load an app like you can on a mac so this is
something we may see very soon or may not see at all in the future we'll have to wait and see but
it looks like it's going to be made a law in the in the european union and people will have to do
it but let me know what you think about it in the comments below now this week we expect wwdc 2022
invites to go out if apple does what they've done year over year last year we had invites go out on
the 30th which would mean if they did the same thing we'd have them as soon as wednesday this
is the invites to the event and then developers can sign up to attend as well and supposedly it
may be in person this year for the first time in a few years according to john prosser we'll have
to wait for the invites of course and if it is in person there could be thousands in attendance
where apple meets with people with their engineers talking to different developers to help them
develop apps but usually we have announcements at that event as well where we have a keynote people
at attendance and they talk about things such as ios 16 and mac os 13 ipad os 16 and then of course
watch os9 tvos and homepod os 16 as well we can expect that maybe even a mac pro to show up there
so that's something we typically have they usually send out those invites and then the event is
usually within the first or second week of june john prosser again is saying it will be on the
sixth and he's typically pretty correct with the dates of events so that looks to be what's going
to be happening in the future so hopefully we'll see something with that very very soon
and of course i'm looking forward to those major updates because that's when we'll see huge changes
to ios 16 and hopefully some we weren't expecting now if you did update to the latest version of mac
os 12.3 some users have reported issues with external monitors and also game controllers
so if this is something you use regularly you may want to hold off until apple updates it or patches
it and speaking of patches apple just recently stopped signing ios 15.3.1 early last week this
usually happens when we get a new update they'll stop signing the previous one which means you can
no longer downgrade to it and then within a couple weeks we'll see a new public release so we could
see ios 15.4.1 to relieve some or resolve some odd battery issues that some users are experiencing as
well as hopefully that music bug finally where it would cause excessive battery drain so most people
at least according to the poll i ran on youtube are not having excessive battery drain but about
18 out of 25 000 or so people have said that they are having battery drain so most people are not
but some people are now surprisingly last week we did not get ios betas however i would expect
them this week this would be the longest apple has gone between a public release and new betas
in a very very long time so if we don't see them tomorrow or wednesday or even this week i would
be very surprised with ios 15.5 betas and a final release of those versions or that version probably
in the beginning of june before wwdc typically apple will do betas for 15 or ios 15 all the way
until the next release in september so those are things i would definitely expect to see although
we haven't seen anything about that yet now as far as rumors or different things that are said to be
coming very soon apple is said to be developing a hardware subscription plan according to mark
german at bloomberg just like you subscribed to icloud you would subscribe to hardware or a phone
plan to allow you to swap the phone when a new model releases instead of maybe it being split
over 12 to 24 months like they currently do and that's something i actually questioned and said
well we can kind of get a plan now but it wouldn't be the same thing maybe i'd be able to swap it
every couple months if i wanted to or try something different for a different different cost
so maybe the pro max is too large and i want to switch to the pro or something like that we would
be able to do that so maybe we'll see something like that in the future very soon maybe at wwdc
or maybe a future event in september now as far as iphone 14 according to ming chi quo iphone 14 will
feature a larger camera bump due to a 48 megapixel camera initially many were saying that the iphone
14 would be thinner so instead of having a large camera bump like this we would have a
flat body design now people are saying that we're going to have a larger camera bump so that's good
we don't know exactly what's going to come out and there will be a bit of a surprise with that
but it does seem to be sort of a mixed bag of what people think about this and then of course looking
a couple years out with iphone 15 according to the elec which is a korean website apple is developing
an under the display face id sensor with samsung or rather samsung is apparently working on an
under panel camera technology so they can put it underneath the display and then allow you
to use things such as face id so samsung makes the displays for many iphones and other products
it would make sense that apple would use that technology to hide face id so far we haven't
seen an ipad pro this year and that makes a lot of sense since it's got the latest technology
from apple in it we have the m1 processor 16 gigs of ram this one has a terabyte of storage and it's
really not utilizing all of that yet so we also have a mini led display and all of the latest
technology inside of it however according to mark german we could see one later this year around the
faller autumn with a new m2 processor in it so we could get apple's new m2 and then of course once
they announced that with the m2 we would get maybe the m2 macbook air with the macbook air of course
we can expect that all new design with different colors like i've mentioned before and apparently
there's still plans for two different sizes so instead of just a 13 inch we would have a 15 inch
as well so we would have 13 14 and 15 and 16 inch displays as far as macbooks go but the macbook air
is said to not have the mini led display and instead use the lcd display that we currently
have that makes a lot of sense since it's not as expensive it's not the pro line and of course
that would save money for not only apple but also you as well if you were going to purchase one so
we could see two different sizes and it may not even be called macbook air anymore now that the
macbooks are so thin to begin with it just might be a macbook so we could have macbook macbook pro
and then maybe even some sort of macbook studio at some point but right now it looks
like that's what we'll have in the future and so that's everything with the news this past week
i'm looking forward to wwdc invites and of course the next version of ios most hopefully we'll see
some big changes with ios 16 and i talked about that in a video last week some things i would
really think they should change at this point it's been many years since we had any sort of redesign
i would love to see that and more let me know what you're looking most forward to in
the comments below and of course i'll link this wallpaper in the description like i normally do
