hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and over the past week we heard from apple regarding their
earnings from the past few months also we may see a third party app store sooner than we thought
as well as ios updates are expected this week this is your news update for the week of may
2nd 2022 and the first thing is if you use a roku streaming box instead of maybe an apple tv
starting today apple music is now part of the platform so you can now install apple music
and listen to it on a roku if you have one of those apple is making this more widely available
starting today so you can see that here from the roku blog and i'll link that in the description if
you want to check it out so if you have a roku box you can now use apple music now apple announced
their revenue for the past quarter and it's huge again it's actually another record-setting revenue
with the exception of ipads ipads had some supply constraints according to tim cook
and that's why they couldn't meet the revenue of last year but they sold 50 billion dollars worth
of iphones 7.6 billion worth of ipads 10.4 billion dollars worth of mac and 19.8 billion on services
so they made a huge amount of money and then of course it's less than that after they pay
all their bills but that's still a huge amount and it's a record setting year over year quarter with
the exception of ipad which is about 0.2 billion down so a couple hundred million dollars down but
still a huge amount of money now apple has also started to manufacture the iphone 13 but not
the 13 mini in brazil a couple of weeks ago they started manufacturing iphone 13s in india as well
as a way to help diversify the supply chain away from china where maybe different things and
situations there are causing production to slow and may be difficult to get so hopefully we'll
see that more diversified around the world fairly soon but it looks like they're starting to do that
in india and now brazil last week apple told developers that if they have an app that's
over three years old that has not been updated and fails to meet the minimum download threshold they
would start removing them from the app store quite a few developers were a bit upset about this and
apple was only giving them 30 days to update their apps apple has now extended that to 90 days so
the the apps will still have to be updated whether that be for security reasons privacy reasons and
more but hopefully we'll see more and more apps stay as the developers update them if not we'll
see those leave the app store apple is planning a new one billion dollar campus in the research
triangle in the raleigh north carolina area apple plans to renovate an existing metlife building and
more which has already been approved so it looks like they're going to start building that very
soon and renovating that metlife building to match what the apple campus looks like
once that's complete that's only a few hours from where i am i'll have to go over and take
a look at it if i can the eu continues to try and force apple to change the way it's operating
and this time they're now objecting to limiting third-party apps to accessing apple's pay nfc
capabilities meaning when you go up to maybe pay with your iphone you just tap your phone to pay
that's only limited through apple at this point they want to open this up so that it's available
more across different apps this seemingly is a little bit premature as
in ios 15.5 they may be opening that up even more so we'll have to see how this plays out
a couple weeks ago i also mentioned how the eu was trying to force them to allow third-party
app stores so you would instead of going to the app store maybe you would go to safari install
the app there or through a website like you do on a mac the us government and japan are now
investigating whether or not side loaded apps or third-party app stores should be forced on apple
so this is something that we're seeing more and more and we saw this years ago with microsoft with
windows and it looks like now they're going after apple for the same thing so where we can install
apps separately using a mac using safari or a different web browser of our choice we may be
able to do that very soon on an iphone now that's something that of course is optional you wouldn't
have to do that but i'm curious what you think about it should they have to allow this or should
they just be allowed to operate as normal apple launched its self-service repair program last week
i went over in a separate video but you can see it at selfservicerepair.com this allows you to buy
tools and parts and see manuals for iphones but currently it's only iphone 12 and newer
hopefully we'll see some older iphones soon and apple has said they're going to support m1 or
apple silicon based max later this year so we'll see that and then see that roll out across europe
as well hopefully canada and more but they haven't given time frames on that but if you want to try
and repair your display or other internal parts such as the taptic engine you can actually go
and order parts some of them are very reasonable so if you go to iphone maybe iphone 13 and maybe
you just need a new sim card tray maybe you lost yours when you were changing it you can buy that
for seven dollars and 20 cents some parts are even cheaper such as little screws to assemble the
iphone such as the pentalobe screws at the bottom of the iphone those are as cheap as 20 cents so
you could do that rent tools to repair your phone and more but at least we have the manuals for them
as well some mac studio owners are now complaining of a high pitched noise or wine coming from the
fan area on the back there's an exhaust port on the back and it sounds like this on my mac studio
however the mac studio doesn't make a lot of noise or a high-pitched wine for me so that could be
either the fans or the power supply but either way hopefully mine doesn't make that noise in
the future but if it's the fans apple could also change the speed of them maybe to quiet it down
a little bit but you do hear fan noise from it if it's nearby also if you have a studio display
apple released some firmware to fix some of the issues they were having with the camera this past
week through a beta update this is something that they've been talking about for a while the camera
itself is not that great and it looks like the firmware update didn't really fix it a whole lot
however it is in beta form and in order to try that firmware on a mac studio display
you need mac os 12.4 beta 3 and then you can install it so since we're still not at the
final version they can improve it further and look for feedback with that so hopefully we'll
see a better update in the future this past week apple updated air tags to version 1.0.301
which allows for better notification sounds better volume so if you're trying to locate
something with an air tag you should be able to hear it a little bit better however if you're
trying to update them you'll just have to wait as this sort of rolls out on its own there's no way
to force this and so far all of my four air tags have not updated so you can't update them similar
to how you can with airpods there's just no way to sort of force that update so you'll just have to
wait but over the next couple of weeks they should update on their own now we also had ios 15.5 betas
this past week we had a week over week release meaning beta 3 was one week after beta 2 meaning
that i expect ios 15.5 beta 4 as soon as tomorrow tomorrow or wednesday seems likely since we're now
on a weekly schedule apple of course could change this but it seems very likely that we'll have it
on tuesday or wednesday where we'll have weekly releases until the release candidate and final
release which i now expect toward the end of may so that's what i expect with that i've sort of
given up on a public release where i expected ios 15.4.2 there's definitely security reasons they
could update it and maybe we'll see it this week but there's no real hint that they're going to
push this out despite them no longer signing ios 15.4 so meaning you can no longer downgrade to ios
15.4 so we could see a public release any day this week or maybe they're just waiting for ios 15.5
and ios 16 is only about a month away at this point until we see beta 1 on june
6. at wwdc 2022 the worldwide developer conference we'll see ios 16 beta 1 and then ios 15 betas as
well all the way until september where they release it usually in the middle of the month
so all of those are coming very soon of course i'll keep you updated as soon as they're released
now before we talk about rumors and different things that have been leaked i wanted to talk
about different deals that are now available starting today that are on amazon that are
actually directly from apple but are pretty good deals at this point so there's a lot of air pods
deals right now so airpods 2 are down to 99 you've got air pods 3 down to 169 dollars airpods pro at
174.99 airpods macs are the biggest discount down to 449 and even ipad mini is down to 399
now these are affiliate links i'll link in the description so i will get a portion from that if
you purchase one of those if you don't want to use those just search for the actual product on amazon
and you'll be able to buy it from there but either way all of those are a pretty good deal especially
the airpods max if you've been wanting to get some of those when it comes to future iphones glass
from the upcoming iphone 14 models showed up on weibo last week showing the different size models
and that apple is planning to keep the notch on the iphone 14 and 14 max models there is no 14
mini just as many predicted and the pro models seem to get a new pill and hole punch display so
on the pro and pro max models we'll see that new display where they get rid of the notch so i'm
curious what you think of that new design is it something you like or would you rather just have
a notch or hopefully just no notch at all also iphone 14 plus could be making a comeback as far
as that name goes with iphone 14 and 14 plus and then iphone 14 pro and iphone 14 pro max so those
names could be coming back i'm not sure if that's a hundred percent but it looks like they're at
least considering different names for the upcoming iphone mac otakara also posted iphone 14 mock-ups
showing online last week that they have a very similar design to the iphone 13 devices
so we're not going to get four different cameras like we have on this sort of prototype dummy
unit that's actually an android phone but we're not going to have four cameras we'll have three
cameras again very similar to what we have on the iphone 13 pro max however they do seem to protrude
out from the back a little bit more than they currently do so they stick out a little bit more
making the phone potentially a little bit thicker this time around if you count the camera bump so
it looks like it's going to be very similar in some ways but different when it comes to
the display when it comes to the next generation apple watch according to quo ming qi the series
7 was originally intended to include a body temperature monitor however it was skipped due to
problems with the overall programming algorithm to measure that temperature apple is believed to have
resolved the issues and is planning to include it in the series 8 apple watch if they've already
figured out that algorithm so we could see that this year with new temperature diagnostics where
it can measure your skin temperature or your body temperature through a sensor on the back of the
watch so nothing really revolutionary unless they change the design last year a lot of different
leakers got this very wrong so it makes sense that maybe we'll see something that we didn't
expect this time around apple is still working on an ar or vr headset or a mixed reality headset
and that could be announced as soon as this year and recently patently apple uncovered a patent
showing that they're working on a wireless charging stand for it so you need some way to
charge it and it looks like you would just set it on this stand and then it would charge wirelessly
they also found a patent that they're working on a display system to have a one-way mirrored surface
so maybe something to do with the displays where they could change those based on what you're doing
with them so all of those things have recently surfaced as far as the patents and hopefully
we'll see much more of that later this year and so that's everything for the news this past week with
different deals and things and more let me know what your favorite part of these news updates are
