Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this past week was filled with a ton of news of what
to expect in 2022 everything from new macs to new iphones to new ipads as well as some things that
we should see fairly soon as well this is your news update for the week of december 5th 2021 and
the first thing is tsmc or taiwan semiconductor that apple works with regularly and helps create
the chips that are inside the recent iphones and macs has already started a pilot production
program or sort of a test production of three nanometer chipsets that's incredibly small but
will lead to added efficiency as well as smaller size and less thermal issues typically so all of
those things combined again will give more battery life and just add to the advance that apple has
over its competition at this point expect those in about 2023 though in iphones and max now apple
has apparently informed some of its suppliers that sales are slower than expected with the iphone 13
series models not just the regular iphone 13 but the pro models as well for this year while
pro models do seem to be in short supply interest seems to be lower than last year's major redesign
so maybe iphone 13 being that it's a sort of minor upgrade depending on if we're talking about the 13
or the 13 pro basically we have a bigger battery a better camera and pro motion on the pro models
everything else is fairly minor to most people with the a15 bionic and so iphone 12 series phones
were the big upgrade i think a lot of people are just waiting until iphone 14 to upgrade now back
in june at wwdc apple showed off not only ios 15 and ipad os 15 but they also showed off a new app
called swift playgrounds 4. swift playgrounds has been out for a while and it teaches you how to
code but the new version will allow you to create your app on the ipad and then export it from
the ipad directly to the app store and sort of bypass xcode altogether on the mac and the recent
versions of this apparently are being handed out to some developers to try out before its final
release or its first release and as you can see nine to five mac has sort of a first look at it
and it allows you to create directly on the ipad so you could learn how to code but also create
your app on the ipad itself and then export it to the app store according to apple so this should
come out hopefully fairly soon apple is not given an official date but this would be great for some
i know my daughter has gone through all of the different swift playground activities to learn
how to code and would love to be able to do more directly on here since she's familiar with it so
hopefully we'll see that sooner rather than later now this past week there has been a ton of news
from mark german of bloomberg about what to expect in 2022. there's been a lot of information from
him some of it is obvious some isn't but he has a pretty good track record as far as predicting what
apple will have or has a good inside knowledge of what they'll have and the first thing is airpods
pro 2. apple is expected to redesign their air pods pro maybe have a slightly different design
maybe some better noise cancellation additional features we don't know exactly what they'll be
like but we do expect a redesign since it's been a few years apple released the third generation air
pods this past year after the iphone announcement and we expect them to do the same with the pro at
this point so maybe in the early part of the year or later on we don't have an exact time frame but
expect them in 2022. so if you're waiting to pick these up or maybe you already have airpods pro i
wouldn't hesitate to pick them up now however we may see a different version of them a little
bit later now something i know a lot of people have been looking forward to is a new iphone
se and just like apple has done with this iphone sc second generation apple is expected to redesign
this in the early part of 2022 so before april or so in the first quarter and it's expected to look
very similar just like an iphone 8 and there could be a larger size although that's sort of
hit or miss depending on who you ask either way it should look like an iphone 8 or 8 plus
have a 4.7 inch display like it does now and some people are saying that it will have a home button
on the home screen just like it does now others maybe suspect it to be on the home button like we
have with the ipad air and ipad mini so either way it should have that with 5g with the new qualcomm
modem as well as an a15 cpu a 4.7 inch lcd display so hopefully we'll see a redesign and about the
same price 3.99 or so so it will be basically the entry-level iphone at a reasonable price with the
latest cpu now just like every other year apple is expected to come out with a new ipad this year
with updated specs it could be slightly thinner and just have sort of the basic ipad layout that
comes in at 329 just like all of the others so not a huge update is expected there some
are saying to expect it to be maybe a little bit thinner than it currently is but no major redesign
however with the ipad air apple is expected to update this but not really update its design
since it's already gotten a design update so with the ipad air fourth generation that i have here
we have the most recent design i would expect just a spec bump when it comes to that however there
were some rumors about it maybe having an oled display later this past year but it looks like
they're just going to keep lcd since they're pushing with mini lcd so hopefully we'll see
something like that with maybe an hdr display on it now when it comes to ipad pro this information
was a little bit curious to me so we'll have mini led like we currently do the display is great
it's one of my favorite devices right now but it's expected to get a slight redesign as well as maybe
wireless charging so maybe a wireless charging dock of some sort maybe through the back
but apple is said to be working still on air power so it could go along with that or maybe even just
wireless charging overall where you would have a base station and it would charge the
ipad wirelessly that way either way it's expected to get some big updates apple typically updates
their ipad pro line first and then pushes that out to max and things later on now when it comes
to ios 15.2 well ios 15.2 beta 4 released this past week so i would expect a release candidate
this week with a final release the following week based off what apple did last year so if we take
a look at what they did last year we had that release on the 14th i would expect it on the 13th
or 14th of this year as apple takes a vacation for the holidays in the later part of december
so maybe in a release candidate tomorrow could be as soon as today but tomorrow or wednesday
with the final release the following week based off what they've done in the past of course this
could change but that's typically what i would expect with this update then we'll see maybe ios
15.3 betas in the early part of january typically that's what apple does but again this is subject
to change as they've been changing a lot this past year just like every other year apple is working
on a new apple watch for 2022. expect a series 8 apple watch as well as an updated se model just
like they're expected to update the iphone se we do expect them to update the se model of the watch
as well since it's been a little while hopefully they'll get rid of the apple watch series 3 and
maybe just have an se a series eight maybe still keep the series seven and they're said to have a
ruggedized version as well for athletes that can stand up to maybe the harsh conditions of whether
that be rock climbing or playing football or something else or just harsh conditions in general
maybe diving and things like that so we could see a version like that it's been rumored for
quite some time that there would be a ruggedized version what it would look like maybe have a
different casing or something like that we don't really know but they are said to be working on a
more durable version now with the upcoming iphone 14 that we'll see in 2022 every year we see a new
iphone we can expect one this year and ming chi kuo is saying still to expect one without a notch
apple is said to be working on one without a notch but still integrating face id it said that they've
sort of gotten rid of touch id although i would love to see either under the display or on the
power button but they're said to be gotten rid of touch id and instead will still use face id
now they are also said to be using a hole punch display and i know some people really like them
i think they're okay as you see on a samsung s21 ultra the hole punch is at the top it's
inconspicuous and really doesn't get in the way so it's something that is there you could have that
under display fingerprint sensor but the notch does set it apart and with apple's move to putting
a notch on a macbook i'm not so sure it will go away but either way we can expect an updated cpu
maybe an updated design a little bit or just a minor update again it's hard to say until we
see it and get closer to the release where apple actually starts producing them and that's where
we get more information from the supply chain now just like i mentioned last week apple is working
on a headset apple glass or a mixed reality headset that would implement augmented reality
and virtual reality or one or the other and use the cameras to sort of augment things over the top
of them they've been pushing this on the iphones but tim cook has said that they're really sort
of pushing that technology and according to mark german we could expect apple glass or some sort
of headset to debut in 2022 this lines up with what others are saying and the first version is
said to focus on gaming communication and media consumption that makes a lot of sense and what
they plan for the future of course apple lays these out years in advance so maybe we could see
that this year it was rumored for last year but we do know they're working on something now as far as
max go there's a ton of news about those as well they're expected to get quite a few redesigns and
new versions being shown with apple silicon as apple is fully transitioning to that this year
now the first thing is macbook air macbook air is expected to get a redesign and have different
colors similar to that of the imac and we've shown this before here as well and feature an
upgraded m2 processor it would no longer have a wedge-shaped design and in turn would adopt the
new design of this macbook 14-inch the macbook pros maybe be a little bit thinner and some are
saying that we could see the macbook air sort of go away altogether and just have macbook instead
but that's hard to say because apple really likes the macbook air name and those seem to sell really
well so one rumor says they might get rid of it some say they might not but either way expect
a macbook air redesign and if they don't just call that the macbook we could see macbook pros
as well apple offers the 13-inch currently with the old design we could see them get rid of the
touch bar and be similar to this design with the 14 inch macbook pro maybe be a little bit thinner
have less ports and just offer an m2 as well mac mini is also expected to get a redesign since that
hasn't been updated as well with its design we've heard a little bit about that where it could have
some new ports maybe magsafe as well and just have maybe more pro options with the m1 pro and m1 max
and then of course imac pro and mac pro are the last two remaining macs to be shown that haven't
moved over to apple silicon yet so we can expect those i've talked about that the imac pro is said
to look similar between the pro display xdr and the current imac and then the mac pro also needs
to be updated whether or not that's going to be a full-size tower or something different is hard to
say some people have said it will be more like the g4 cube but we're waiting for that the big
news about the pro lineup though is that they're going to feature maybe dual m1 pros or m1 max cpus
and 20 or 40 compute cores so a ton of cores extra as well as up to 128 gigs of ram so we could see
that or maybe even more so some huge configuration changes that make it even faster than the current
m1 macbook pros or m1 max macbook pros let me know what you're looking most forward to in the
comments below and of course once ios 15.2 updates come out this week i'll be sure to let you know
