hi everyone aaron here for zollotech and
we're only about a month away from
seeing ios 16 for the first time on june
6th we have the worldwide developer
conference where apple will show off ios
16 ipad os 16 watch os 9 mac os 13 and
maybe a few surprises and so we'll have
our first beta version on june 6th as
well and i think it's going to be a
better update than we think so far
there's been very few leaks which can
only mean one of two things it either
means ios 16 isn't a big update or that
ios 16 updates have been kept so secret
this year that very little information
is leaked out about it i think it's
actually the second thing where they've
actually kept it secret better than they
have in the past a little while ago tim
cook was speaking out saying he really
wanted to keep things more secret that
they were going to really push to keep
things secret within the company and i
think they've done a pretty good job of
that with certain leaks many people
thought we'd see a squared off apple
watch this past year we didn't see that
so hopefully they've done the same with
ios 16.
now here's what we know so far according
to mark german so far he said that
they're going to get some updates with
the notification center meaning maybe
more customization better grouping maybe
we can have it similar to what android
has but a little bit better i've always
actually liked ios notifications a
little bit better how they're spaced and
how they look but either way maybe we'll
get some more customization with that
mark german also said to expect updates
to health and activity but that is
really not enough for a whole ios update
at this point two different apps or
three different apps with updates just
doesn't make sense that that's all they
would do so i think apple's kept it very
under wraps and we just don't know yet
now with ios 15 many people think of
this as a small update where in fact it
has almost the combination of the last
two versions as far as the amount of
features in it as what they had with ios
13 and 14 combined that's how many
changes are in ios 15. so in ios 15
though there aren't a whole lot of
standout features but rather small
updates and refinements the major
standout features were share play and
universal control on ipad but we didn't
even have those at the launch of ios 15.
now some of this has to do with people
working at home of course but a lot of
small refinements are throughout so
everything from share play as you can
see here to different face time updates
to messages in emoji and on and on there
are so many small updates it took a 40
minute video in order to cover all of
them so there's a ton of little
refinements but not really anything
memorable but if all of the rumors so
far are true maybe this is just a
stability update and apple is really
focusing on that so making everything
stable and i think most people would be
pretty happy with that but also be very
bored if that's all they had so i expect
more than that now as far as the
supported devices this year it looks
like we're going to have them dropping
the iphone 6s 6s plus and original
iphone se now we don't know that a
hundred percent yet apple has not come
out and said that officially i've seen
some other videos say that that's
definitely what's happening so far at
this point we don't know that a hundred
percent but the iphone se 6s and 6s plus
make a lot of sense to drop they've been
supported for a very long time and
supporting the iphone 7 and newer seems
to make a lot of sense they would also
drop support for the ipad air 2 or other
devices like that that makes a lot of
sense to me but again maybe apple could
extend that we don't know that
officially just yet but that's what
seems most likely so if this is just a
stability update i think many people
would be disappointed but i think
there's going to be some refinements
definitely some additional widgets or
refinements to widgets where they're
interactive finally i also think at this
point there's no excuse that we don't
have an always on display there's no
reason we can't have that similar to
what android has on just about every
android phone at this point you haven't
always on display since we have oled
phones you could do this all the way
back to the iphone 10 where we could
have an always on display with some
additional information so with android
you can do that now there's no reason
you can't do that on an iphone since
they're also using samsung panels and
similar technology so you could do this
it doesn't attribute to any real battery
drain since it's very low power it's
fairly dim and also even on a night side
or a bedside stand it's very nice to
have on just like this so it's great to
have the additional information maybe
have the weather and some notifications
if you're looking for those there's
really no reason we shouldn't see that
at this point if we don't have something
like that with ios 16 i would be very
very disappointed i also expect apple to
do more customization with things such
as control center i think this could be
cleaned up a bit and also maybe have a
landscape mode or something that gives
us landscape back as we don't really
have that anymore with the current
iphones we had that with the iphone 6
plus
6s plus 7 plus and 8 plus and they kind
of took it away when we switched to the
oled phones there's no reason we
couldn't have that and a recent concept
shows what that could look like so
there's a recent concept by apple lab
that shows what some of those advanced
features such as landscape mode could
look like on an iphone so a new
landscape mode
could look just like this makes a lot of
sense there's no reason they couldn't do
that and then updated control center
that similarly is good where it has
additional features maybe the ability to
turn off wi-fi one hundred percent
and just more and more as far as that
goes with an always-on display so just
like this like i said with an always on
display this concept has some great
ideas with the control center
notifications apple wallet and more so
i'll leave a link to this in the
description if you want to check it out
i would be very surprised if we don't at
least see some enhancements to widgets
maybe some additional enhancements to
icons as well while i don't expect a 100
redesign with ios 16 at this point i
think it makes sense to bring these up
to speed with what we have with mac os
so they did that recently with some eye
work apps so if we take a look at maybe
pages
or numbers or keynote keynote looks just
like the one that we have on the mac for
the most part now it makes sense that we
would have consistency across not only
iphone but mac and ipad as well with
ipad os 16 this is where i think we
could see some major enhancements and
there's some proof showing that maybe we
could see some things coming very soon
now ipads right now have a ton of power
and currently feel very underutilized
with this ipad air and the latest ipad
pro having an m1 chipset in it we
basically have all the capabilities of
an ipad and a mac combined into a
smaller form factor there's no reason we
can't have pro apps on it so i do think
we'll see maybe final cut pro and a
logic pro this time around to make the
pro devices actually pro or even the
ipad air pro and then also
there's a recent patent that was
uncovered that shows the ipad docking
into something such as a macbook
keyboard that would give it a mac-like
interface there's no reason apple
couldn't do this and make your ipad a
true all-in-one computer and then switch
to a mac style interface if you wanted
to edit a video with it with final cut
pro there's no reason for that at this
point that they couldn't do it we have
up to 16 gigs of ram maybe you could
have more in a in a future pro and we
even have an incredible display on the
pro with the mini led display we have
all of the latest technology in an ipad
and it makes a lot of sense that maybe
with the smart connector we could have
an all-in-one mac and ipad on the go
apple is really good at getting these
things right and if we have a tablet
experience and a mac experience and i
know that's something microsoft has done
with the surface i think it makes a lot
of sense on the ipad we also could
really benefit from additional
customization with different apps we've
got a huge gap here we have widgets that
don't make a lot of sense
where we put them the interface just
feels disconnected and at this point if
you're going for the ipad air or the
ipad pro there's no reason the pro is
really pro other than its display and
speakers so at this point i think it
makes a lot of sense for apple to have a
major revamp of ipad os 16 with some
enhancements maybe to multitasking and
maybe even mode switching i would
definitely welcome that
now the real question at this point is
how many updates or changes do we really
need to make us happy with the next
version to feel like it's a big update
we haven't had a major redesign since
2013 and it makes a lot of sense that
apple could redesign some of this to be
more consistent maybe use up additional
screen space here where we have a huge
gap at the bottom maybe let us get rid
of the dock altogether if we don't like
this and just have a huge grid of icons
or just have some enhanced widgets with
interactive controls on them as well all
of these things i think would make it
feel very fresh and at this point i'm
expecting it will be better than we
think just because we haven't heard a
lot about it and the software department
does not have to manufacture any
additional devices so those leaks can't
get out through the supply chain such as
the iphone 14 can so i'm really hoping
for something big some big changes and
of course we'll know on june 6th when
apple announces it to the world as far
as wwdc 2022 you can watch it at the
same time i can on june 6th at 1 pm
eastern time or usually 10 a.m pacific
time and it's on apple.com or youtube
normally you can watch them there and of
course i'll have videos about all of the
new features and changes after that now
if you think apple's going to make a big
change or not make a big change in just
some small changes i'd love to hear from
you in the comments below one of the
reasons i made this video is ios 15 has
had some very small updates this time
around it makes me think they're getting
ready for something completely different
and they don't want to show a whole lot
right now so that's one of the major
reasons i've thought probably ios 16
will be better than we think let me know
what you think in the comments below of
course if you'd like to get your hands
on this wallpaper i'll link it in the
description like i normally do and if
you haven't subscribed already please
subscribe and if you enjoyed the video
please give it a like as always thanks
for watching this is aaron i'll see you
next time
