Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this past week has been filled with news about everything
from a new macbook to an apple watch and more and this is your news update for the week of may 23rd
2021 and the first thing has to do with beats studio buds now those were leaked in ios 14.6
code where they actually had some new icons that show kind of what they look like and now they're
showing up in the fcc database and generally when that happens we're very close to a launch
for example when you have powerbeats pro like these or any other headphones coming out
they have to pass fcc regulation they'll show up in the database and then they'll generally
release to the public fairly soon after that so it looks like those could be coming very soon
since we already have support for it in ios 14.6 so we haven't heard any more than that
about them but they should be coming very soon now apple's new lossless audio that they showed
this very image where you would have down in the bottom where it says apple digital master
lossless in dolby atmos and things like that that will be coming very soon in early june however
the support for it is not exactly great when it comes to lossless for example i talked about how
airpods pro and airpods max won't support it over wireless and that has to do with the limitation
of bluetooth itself bluetooth just can't carry that amount of bandwidth in its current form
however some people have been saying well what if i use the lightning to 3.5 millimeter headphone
adapter with airpods max for example and that still will not work you'll you'll actually be
able to get higher quality audio if you plug in but not full lossless according to apple due to
the limitations of the cable and the dac that's inside of it the digital to analog converter
so you will be able to get higher quality audio now people are not complaining the airpods max
are bad by any means of course with 550 dollar headphones you want the highest quality audio
but nobody complained before and no one expected it so to get a little bit better
audio with maybe a future update or something like that would be very welcome however i would
really like to see lossless audio as well given that they cost so much so unfortunately based off
a recent apple support document we won't have the highest quality audio on their best headphones so
maybe they'll release an updated version but we'll have to wait and see now we've heard a lot about
the upcoming iphone 13 and there's even more news about it now we're not expecting any huge design
change or anything like that we are expecting a little bit different cameras improved a little bit
with maybe a thicker chassis overall to support a larger battery and a bigger camera bump for those
improvements and a 120 hertz pro motion display however the qualcomm modem is said to improve
as well since qualcomm is now releasing their new x65 model it has better millimeter wave coverage
currently in the united states it's pretty limited to say verizon and atm t but they're said to have
better or wider millimeter wave coverage with a 200 megahertz band as well as standalone mode so
it's a new power saving technology and will help for better battery life as well so all of these
things will be coming out with a technical limit of 10 gigabits per second as far as the speed
of course currently with millimeter wave you kind of have to be in the correct position in the right
area within a city that has it to get super high speeds and you can't move too much however maybe
we'll see that change with different bandwidth in the future now ios 15 is going to be shown on june
7th i've talked about that for quite some time but apple confirmed it on monday where they're
going to have their conference with their keynote at 10 a.m pacific time or 1 p.m eastern on june
7. they updated their website with this sent out invites and it's ready to go so we should see ios
15 with all sorts of new features and there's some new features that we hadn't heard of before that
should be in it as well and so you can watch this not only on apple's website but you probably can
watch it on youtube and other places as well where you normally can so you can watch it live at that
same time along with everyone else that's going to be watching it but ios 15 is said to have new
notifications i've talked about that before where they're going to redesign the notification shade
also they're going to redesign messaging a little bit maybe add some features it said
as well as some changes to dark mode this is the new news about it dark mode should have some
changes what that means specifically is hard to say along with an updated control center and also
a new thing that someone recently leaked is that it's going to have sort of a food tracking feature
within the health app so if we go to health here find health if you go into health we can track all
sorts of things such as blood oxygen and sleep in steps next we'll be able to track food intake it
seems like so this seems like an obvious step in the right direction with the health app and maybe
they'll have more as far as that goes many people want to redesign and we should get that with ipad
os 15 so we should see all of those things pretty soon in just under a couple weeks at this point
so i can't wait to see what they have now as far as ios 14.7 beta 2 and when to expect that
well the first beta came out last friday is a bit of a surprise so it came out on the 21st
along with the launch of the new apple tv the ipad pro the imac and that was a bit of a surprise
we had that alongside ios 14.6 which launched this week as well and so we had double betas at this
point we'll see that all the way until september with ios 15 of course and ios 14 betas but ios
14.7 beta 2 apple generally waits a week between betas if not two weeks between betas so we could
see it very soon as soon as well supposedly today or tomorrow it depends or maybe even the next week
we could see it on the 4th for example however we just don't know as apple has not said however they
did show off some new features coming soon with apple accessibility and those are a pretty big
deal for those that have maybe motor skill issues or maybe can't touch their device or even just
need to use sign language to communicate so let's take a look at some of those now apple detailed
some new updates with accessibility like i said and the first one is sign time sign time allows
people to communicate visually using sign language and this should help a lot whether you need an
online session or in person for example there's sign time there's also updates to assistive touch
for apple watch where you can go through menus just by squeezing your hand and moving your wrist
up and down and around this is pretty impressive if you haven't watched this video i'll link this
in the description but it explains how this all works as well as eye tracking support for ipad
with third party accessories so maybe you're unable to touch the the ipad you can use your
eyes and exploring images with voice over is going to get more information so basically you could do
this before but now it will give you the position of someone's face for example in the picture
so it will give more information about that there's also better support for hearing aids
and audiogram support as well as background sounds maybe you just need something in the background
ambiently it's too quiet in the room you're in you want to study something along those lines you'll
have the option for that it'll help you focus and stay calm or rest this seems to go along
with what we're going to see with health in ios 15 but this makes me think ios 15 is going to be
a huge announcement since apple is announcing these ahead of time so these could be coming
to 14.7 as well or maybe they won't be coming until ios 15 but they will be coming at a later
date sign time though launched on may 20th so all of those were shown off and i think that's pretty
great for those that need the extra little help when navigating through their different
devices it's great to see apple continue to really support accessibility throughout all their devices
now the big news over the past couple of days has to do with mac the first thing has to do with a
new high-end mac mini according to john prosser it would look like this have sort of a thinner design
maybe have four ports as far as thunderbolt is concerned since we only get two on the current
m1 lineup as well as two usba ports ethernet and hdmi and it's also said to have the new magnetic
power connector that we see with the imac also it could have plexiglas on top which this is kind of
something i hadn't really expected but if they're trying to go for maybe a g4 cube look when it
comes to the mac maybe that's what they're going for so a different design we haven't seen before
now the next generation macbook pro is said to launch or be announced at wwdc according to john
prosser there will be a 14 and a 16 inch model and again it will have all the ports we've said before
with hdmi thunderbolt and sd card slot which would be really welcome and a new magsafe connector some
reports from others are saying there won't be a magsafe connector and to go inside those new
chips according to nine to five mac a reliable source according to them said the upcoming pro
level apple silicon is called m1x some people have said it's not called m1x mark german has said it's
a completely different architecture and will have a new name so i'm not sure who's going to be right
there but there will be a new architecture with a much more powerful chip up to 10 cores for example
it would support more thunderbolt channels as well as new cpu cores or more cpu cores and gpu cores
we haven't seen yet what apple has in store for an updated gpu that we have in the pro level max
we're also still waiting for a larger imac but a faster 10 core processor for example would be
incredible also support for more ram right now 16 gigabytes is the limit it would be great to get
32 for heavy video editing and things like that so we'll have to wait and see what apple has in store
but i can't wait to see what the new pro level macs are since apple has shown us the 13-inch
macbook pro m1 that i have here it's incredibly fast along with all the new imacs and the mac
mini for example and macbook air what they could do on the pro level is going to be incredible
now the final thing has to do with an apple watch john prosser again has leaked a new apple watch
that will have more of a squared off edge as far as the overall design it would be more flattened
to match that of the new iphones and the new design of the imac and it makes sense that
apple's going in this direction and would update their apple watch to match however according to
the design it looks like your current watch bands would work with it and so that would be
a great thing to see have consistency with all the different watch bands and of course just a little
refresh i know a lot of people want a rounded design but it seems at this point that that's
not going to be the next apple watch he didn't say anything about sensors or what could be in it
though so that's it for everything over this past week that's a lot of information there's going to
be a lot more coming out very soon with ios 14.7 ios 15 and whatever those new macs are we haven't
seen what apple has for the new mac lineup so i really can't wait to see what they have there now
