Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this past week was filled with news about upcoming iphone 13
ipads imacs macbooks and more so this is your news update for the week of february 28 2021
although i'm recording this on march 1st and the first thing is apple is being faced with another
lawsuit this time from the portuguese consumer protection agency stating that apple slowed down
older phones such as the iphone 6 6 plus 6s or 6s plus like i have here in order to get people
to upgrade to newer devices we've seen lawsuits similar to this in italy before and whether or not
anything comes of them is hard to say but they're stating that apple slowed them down knowingly in
order to get users to update apple has obviously denied this many times but we'll have to wait
and see the outcomes of these potential lawsuits so it's kind of interesting they're also facing
an investigation by the u.s government to maybe investigate sign in with apple which seems kind of
odd to me saying that basically apple could be a monopoly forcing them to keep that that data
private instead of giving it to applications like facebook for example so sign in with apple is
something that apple wants all applications to have application makers are probably not
happy about this because they want your data to be able to better either serve you ads or something
else and so this is a potential investigation that may happen and hopefully we get our privacy
i really appreciate that sort of sign in with apple set up so that i don't have to share my data
with every single app that i use so let me know what you think about that in the comments below
now this week like i said was filled with iphone 13 news and the iphone 13
is said to come out probably in september like we would expect and according to ming chi quo
he said that the iphone 13 will have 120 hertz display pro motion just like we expect on the pro
models so maybe iphone 13 pro and iphone 13 pro max it would have the ltpo display and it would
also have a smaller notch now we're not sure if it will shrink horizontally or vertically or both
but it should be smaller or possibly not even there so it depends there's been some more recent
news from today stating that it may not even be there to begin with and it may have a hole punch
display similar to that of what samsung has for example so that would be really interesting to see
and i would welcome that i actually have that on a samsung device this is a note 20 ultra
with a hole punch display and i think that looks really good and i've gotten used to it on this
device i would love to see something similar on an iphone and be able to use face id or maybe even
touch id on the power button now other than that all iphones are said to have a smaller notch or no
notch like i said and they should all ship with a lightning port this year with the iphone 13s
so maybe no portless iphone this year but i'll talk about that in a moment and also it may ship
with a larger battery according to ming chi quo i think a lot of people would appreciate that even
if it was slightly thicker to give us a larger battery maybe a 5 000 milliamp hour battery to
get us maybe a couple days use i would love to see that and maybe we'll see that now according
to john prosser and then later web bush analysts they're saying that iphone 13 will have a one
terabyte storage option as well and that they'll also all include lidar for the cameras this
makes a lot of sense since lidar is used for auto focus at night and also for augmented reality and
apple's supposed to make a big push with augmented reality so it makes a lot of sense to have that
now there's been some conflicting information about portless iphones but apple's at least
looking at it and according to apollosafe they've said that apple's preparing a portless iphone and
how you would restore that for example so for example there's a few different ways you could
do this you could have an internet recovery by pushing a couple different button combinations
and that would be similar to what you get on a mac so you could restore over the internet and
it would fully wipe the phone you could also have a built-in version of that where it would
just have the operating system on a different sort of area and then be able to recover it and
then also you could do something where it would attach to your computer over the local network
similar to what apple did with the early macbook air where maybe you wanted a cd
and wanted to install something and the macbook air didn't have a drive it would just show up
on your network in the finder for example and then you would be able to restore it that way
and then finally it said that maybe in the sim card tray on the iphone there'll be a port so if
you had to send it in apple could diagnose it and fix it that way or maybe in an apple store where
they could pop the sim card tray out pop in their own sim card that had some connectors on it with
maybe pogo pins and then connect to it and fix it the apple watch has a similar setup but you
have to send it in to do that and it's actually hidden underneath the strap so underneath here
there's a little port and then you can access that depending on which watch you have they can access
the port and then diagnose and fix it accordingly so we may see something like that with the iphone
in the future but apple's at least working on it right now and we may not see anything for a little
while now when it comes to the iphone se there's some conflicting information as to when we'll see
the next one according to mac otakara we may see it as soon as april 2021 or early next month to
launch alongside the new airpods so airpods 3 or airpods pro 2 or both and we could see
a new iphone se with a larger display and then touch id on the fingerprint sensor potentially
with those touch gestures that we have with the newer iphones i would welcome that sort of change
a larger iphone similar to the iphone 8 but with touch id on the side makes a lot of sense today
and i would love to see that but then ming chi kuo is saying we won't see an iphone sc replacement
until 2022 so it's hard to say which one is correct here we'll have to wait and see but
i would welcome a larger one and then maybe a replacement for both next year but right now it
looks like maybe next year at the earliest it's just hard to say with conflicting information
that would launch alongside redesigned airpods i've talked about that last week where we would
have new airpods pro and new air pods in general that would both have spatial audio and then the
noise canceling would remain on the pro side so that would be really great to see now according
to enostar which is a taiwan-based company they're said to have begun production on the
next gen ipad pro with a mini led backlit display so they're supposedly manufacturing the displays
which would give us maybe brighter displays but also deeper blacks as they would have mini leds
for the backlight and be able to better control different zones for that it's said to only be for
the ipad pro 12.9 inch and it's said to launch late first quarter or second quarter so that
could be march or maybe april so that makes sense going along with those airpods launched as well
so we could see that very very soon now when it comes to ios ios 14.5 beta 2 gains an update
which i thought was pretty interesting that people hadn't found until recently if you have
powerbeats pro they will now show up in find my so if you're using find my we'll go into that
and within find my you can see that it's located it i can play a sound and it has directions so
this has been updated to include it in find my now with 14.5 beta 2. now as far as ios
14.5 beta 3 i would expect it as soon as tomorrow tuesday or wednesday generally that's when apple
has been releasing them lately and we'll have some updates and i'll cover that as well i would expect
a public release of ios 14.5 a little bit later in march based on what we've been seeing lately
so if apple releases airpods pro for example in march along with an ipad i would expect some sort
of update around that time although apple has been really random in how they've been releasing betas
lately and public releases so i wouldn't be so sure about every single date but at least expect a
beta sometime this week based on what they've done every single week for years and years now as far
as macbooks there's been some exciting news coming from that and we can expect to see new macbooks
this year as apple transitions everything to apple silicon so for example it said that we're going to
have new macbook pros so we'll have a 14 and 16 inch macbook pro with apple's new silicon in it
along with mini led displays in the second half of 2021 according to digi times so this is the 13
inch macbook pro it's one of my favorite devices apple has ever made lately it's super fast compact
has great battery life and just seems to last days for battery when i'm using it regularly
it edits footage very fast and we could see a larger display with them pushed out more to the
bezels for example and maybe getting getting rid of the touch bar so i would welcome that i
don't really use the touch bar but i know some people will be disappointed by that
but the most exciting news about it is an update to the ports so we only have two usb thunderbolt
ports here but we could get many more so it said that we're going to get our sd card back as well
as the ability to have hdmi on the side like we've had in the past this makes a lot of sense it's a
very commonly used port and it's probably what most people buy the dongles for if you want to
use an sd card for example it's a pain to have to use a dongle for that it makes a lot of sense sd
cards are here to stay for quite some time even though there's other standards such as xqd and
things like that but right now i think it makes a lot of sense to bring back that sd card port and
hdmi as well as some additional ports as well if we see that i don't think we'll see new usb ports
but we should see these later this year as apple continues to update their macs now apple continues
to be working on what looks to be new finishes for the macbook so right now this is aluminum
in space gray but we could see titanium brought back as we have with the watch for example so
we have titanium watches but when you have bigger surfaces like this they can have fingerprints
especially on metals such as titanium a new patent found by patently apple seems to refer to coatings
they're working on to keep those fingerprints off the metal so we could have some sort of
coating similar to oleophobic coatings we have on displays to help with fingerprints as well
so when you touch the back of this display for example or the back of the iphone 12 pro max
because it's a matte finish it doesn't show a lot of fingerprints we could see something
very similar to that on upcoming macbooks and i would definitely welcome a new titanium macbook
it would be thin strong light and also super durable so hopefully we see something like that
now something i'm looking forward to them updating very much is the new imac apple is
said to be coming out with one very soon and the imac design has been here for a very long time
and according to john prosser it could get colors again like we have with the ipad air
it would look similar to a pro display xtr but have apple's new silicon in it maybe a new gpu
graphics processing unit to make it even faster than what we have with the macbooks for example
so i really welcome something like that the pro display xdr is really great to look at and
having something like that in imac form would be even better so hopefully we'll see those soon in
those colors what color do you like best let me know in the comments below now patently
apple has continued to find patents showing that apple is working on things like ar and vr glasses
this time around they found something that looks like an accessory that you would slide onto your
fingers to help control the display with gestures so as you have glasses on or maybe a headset you
could swipe you could pinch to zoom things like that and you could use your fingers to do that
where the headset would track that similar to what you would have with an oculus now with a
controller but you would use your fingers to do all of the different gestures and motions
and if they can get this right it could be really great and so that's all of the news this past week
quite a few things about the upcoming iphone quite a few things about max i'm very excited about
what are you most excited about let me know in the comments below if you'd like to get your
hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description like i normally do and if you
