Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this past week was filled with all sorts of news regarding
the upcoming iphone 14 as far as its display and what to expect as well as the upcoming iphone
se homepod mini and much more this is your news update for the week of january 16 2022 and the
first thing has to do with ios 14. if you watched my follow-up video the other day i mentioned this
as well but if you were looking to stay on ios 14 updates with apple providing regular security
updates to it like they said they would a little while ago it looks like they're no longer going to
be offering this to earlier versions so if you're on ios 14.8 and you want to go to 14.8.1 or maybe
they would release a 14.8.2 they're no longer going to do that originally you could install
those and it looks like they've backtracked since ios 15.2 maybe it has to do with the
amount of staff working on the next versions or the updates to ios 15 but at this time it looks
like you won't be able to do that any longer i was really looking forward to that but it seems like
you're not going to be able to do that also there was news about the iphone 13 noise cancellation
this has been a concern for quite some time for a lot of people where the option is no longer there
if you go into settings accessibility and then you go down to audio visual on previous phones other
than the iphone 13 models you have the option for turning on noise cancellation when making a phone
call this is no longer on the iphone 13 series and according to a support document or support kind of
conversation between apple and a user they're no longer going to offer this it was never a
feature and so whether or not they're doing this differently i thought for sure they would add this
with a software update but it seems like at least according to that it's not going to be something
we'll see on iphone 13 models so that's a little bit of a disappointment for those that use it
now if you were looking for apple's polishing cloth it's back in stock it's about 19 and you can
see it's just a polishing cloth fairly expensive but it is pretty nice if you've ever used one
at first i didn't like them but i started to grow to like them as they really get rid of
smudges pretty easily so they're back in stock if you're looking for one of those a few weeks
ago i mentioned a plant in india owned by foxconn that manufactures iphones that was shut down for
poor working conditions apparently this has been remedied and it's now open as of last wednesday
foxconn has said we have implemented a range of corrective actions to ensure this cannot happen
again and a rigorous monitoring system to ensure workers can raise any concerns they may have
including anonymously so it was closed for three weeks it's now open and hopefully those conditions
are much better for those working there now google is working to try and get apple to support
rcs messaging this is a newer standard that works across mms or typical sms messaging but
can be encrypted and much more in future versions and implements a bunch of different updates and
changes however apple doesn't currently support it and apparently google really wants to push
them to do this while i don't expect apple to really push imessage onto android at any time
having other apps similar to that would be really nice and i know in the united states most people
just use their default messaging system on android but around the world most people use things like
whatsapp telegram and signal so i don't know that this is much of a concern but i'd love to hear
what you think about it in the comments below now apple's private relay was in the news last week
where apparently it was being disabled on certain carriers apparently according to apple no carriers
have technically disabled it yet and t-mobile even claimed there was a bug that disabled it
if you're not familiar with it it's under settings then if you go to your name and then to icloud and
you'll see icloud private relay which keeps your internet activity private some companies in the
european union wanted to sort of ban this saying it would harm their their telecom networks and i
don't technically agree with that as i've worked at telecom networks and this should work just fine
but they don't really like that option since they wouldn't as easily be able to advertise to you
and things like that apple has said that there is nothing in ios 15.2 that would disable this
despite what t-mobile was saying where they were saying be sure to check these settings as apple
could have disabled it so at this time it has not been disabled by apple in the update or anything
like that just make sure if you want to use it that it's turned on and turned on in your cellular
settings as well there's a bug that was found in the most recent version of safari on not only your
iphone but ipad os and mac os as well that can allow you to have your data tracked as far as your
browsing history and what you're doing online in real time if they're using indexed database or a
different sort of indexed database feature from the website itself this affects safari for mac
and also chrome on ios devices since chrome has to use webkit so this is something they may
have to patch pretty soon in the future to avoid this being a privacy concern so maybe we'll see
something in the future with ios 15.2.2 to patch this or something else if you're someone that
plays fortnite and you've been missing it since apple removed it from the app store with their
dispute with epic it looks like you're going to be able to play it again through nvidia's geforce now
they've got a new signup page where you can sign up for this so you can play it through geforce now
and you can sign up for the closed beta right now so this should be coming later this year but you
can sign up and join the waitlist now if you want to try it out for yourself i'll link it in the
description if you want to check it out there's a new legislation that's been submitted in the usa
that would require terms of service to be easy to digest language explaining terms as well as
sensitive personal data they collect this is instead of maybe the 100 page privacy policy
you have to agree to or submit when you set up an iphone or a windows computer or pretty much
any device or app these days so it would be great to actually see this where it would implement
something to say make this information clear and not so long as it would take a day to read some
of those as there are 100 pages some of them now there's a feature that's not really a rumor but
i wanted to mention it and apple's introduced apple car key with ios 15 and currently you can
use that with bmw similar to how you can walk up to your car with this using bluetooth and tesla
you can use this as your actual car key using nfc with a bmw right now according to mac rumors and
mark german they've said that this feature will be coming to the genesis brand soon and other
manufacturers later this summer so if you've been looking for that feature hopefully you won't need
a new car to use that but if you have sort of an iphone app that you can use to unlock your
car this may be implemented in the future pretty soon now like i mentioned with ios 15 we may see a
15.2.2 to patch that safari bug is they'll need to update it with that maybe some other bugs as well
and ios 15.3 beta 3 or rc should be this week based on what we had in the past so i mentioned
that in my follow-up video as well is the update video and in the past last year and the years
before that apple introduced new betas and then a week later so last year they implemented the rc
so we had the release candidate and then a final release before the end of the month we could see
this sort of set up again or we could just see a beta 3 this coming week but i would expect
something by at least wednesday at this point so maybe we'll see that and then again the release
at the end of the month then the implementation of apple's digital id where they're going to test
that out in a few airports in february so i would expect some sort of update before then so they can
try that out in different airports around the us now as far as ios 16 i wanted to mention one
thing about it we already know apple is deep into working on ios 16 and apparently the code name is
sydney so apple gives code names to everything and it looks like the name of it is sydney i actually
hadn't heard that before but that's something that they do regularly and they've named it that
so sydney is the name hopefully we'll see some new changes there's not really any new information
about it other than that many of the features with ios 16 are going to be what was planned for ios 15
but they didn't have time to do and implement so they wanted to push a lot of new features
maybe a design change hopefully and maybe a new control center and more so we'll have to wait
until june at wwdc to see that but it looks like apple is really working on that hopefully we'll
see some really great features this time around and much better stability now as far as upcoming
devices the iphone se keeps getting in the news where the iphone se3 or third generation is
expected to be called the iphone se plus 5g this would be a new naming convention for apple and
i'm a little bit skeptical of this but it's coming from ross young who has a very good track record
and seems to be one of if not the most accurate leaker so it would be similar to what we have
here with the current generation iphone se but instead have 5g probably with millimeter wave
as well as support for magsafe so you would have magsafe support where it doesn't now it
has wireless charging but you could put a magsafe adapter on the back and charge it like this so it
would be able to charge and work like you would expect so that seems to be reasonable i would love
to see a larger screen other rumors are saying that it could look more like an iphone 10r and
maybe have a larger screen however a larger iphone sc is said to be coming in 2023 according to ross
young so it looks like we won't have that for for another year or so for a larger size but
the iphone sc is said to get an update iphone 14 is a ways out but there's a lot of news about it
because apple has to ramp up production so early based on the amount of devices they have to
produce typically they're about three years ahead of what we actually see releasing to the public
and we expect it in september like normal but ross young has said that the iphone 14 pro models will
have a pill shaped and hole punch display so it would be combined for face id instead of having
it completely under the display it would be one for maybe a camera and a smaller pill and that
would give you the face id components such as the dot projector and more so this is what it sort of
looks like according to some renders out there and concepts but it's hard to say if they're actually
going to stick with this or do something unique or keep the notch all together however on the pro
models most people are saying this and again ross young is very accurate when it comes to displays
reports earlier this week said that all iphone 14 models would have promotion and six gigabytes of
ram however due to supply constraints it looks like the manufacturer who makes the panels for
these the ltpo panels wouldn't be able to produce enough to to really handle all devices so it looks
like it won't be coming to all devices but rather just the pro devices which i would suspect anyway
however at least six gigabytes of ram are still rumored for all devices and 48 megapixel cameras
on the pro devices as well it would be the first time they upgraded the camera
from its megapixel size of 12 since the iphone 6s so this would be a welcome change of course
they'll need to let in a lot more light with such a small sensor with that amount of megapixels
but hopefully they'll do a great job with that and maybe we'll even get 8k recording as it's
rumored now for those of you that love touch id it looks like touch id was actually tested
on the iphone 13 models but never implemented and scrapped i would love to see an under the
display fingerprint sensor come back to iphone as many of you would or maybe on the power button
but it looks like so far there's no plans to bring that back i would love to see that
and then as far as face id iphone 15 is said to be where iphone will gain face id under the display
so we should see something like that in the future but it will be a little while according to
mark german apple had originally planned to make the homepod mini battery powered where it would
be portable and be more easily placed wherever you'd want instead of having a cord connecting
to it that's one of the things my wife said initially when i brought home the homepod mini
she thought that it was battery powered and couldn't believe that there was actually a cable
now this could be an inconvenience if you want to keep it powered all of the time but it would make
sense to maybe have magsafe where it just sits on it powers it and charges it and then when you're
done you remove it so maybe that was an original plan it doesn't look like they're planning that
anytime soon but i personally would love to see that with ipad pro apple typically updates this
every single year and i reported before that apple was planning to bring wireless charging to it
maybe by using a glass back however it looks like they may have scrapped that design instead
in favor of a glass apple which would be a little bit larger and then use magsafe so you could have
magsafe attached to the apple maybe a new magsafe design and also one that charges faster as it's
expected to have a larger battery to get better battery life so it looks like they're going to
update that on the ipad pro in some way with wireless charging as well as an updated internal
chipset and camera that matches that of the iphone 13 models so we can expect that although there
isn't many other changes that are expected since ipad pro is kind of their top of the line device
at this point so a larger battery would definitely be welcome though and with the upcoming ipad air
it's expected to have a fifth generation coming soon with 5g like we have on this device so if you
have a 5g ipad where they put millimeter wave on the bottom they could do the same to the ipad air
as well as center stage that we have on the camera and more so again updated internals and more with
the ipad air apple's upcoming mixed reality headset this is google glass just to give you
an idea of what google did years ago is said to be in the works still and was originally meant to
be shown in wwdc in 2021 with a launch in 2022 however the headset may again be delayed later
this year or even to 2023 with those familiar with the plans it may take until wwdc 2023 for us to
see it but ios 16 is apparently going to contain some of the foundations of the headset's code so
maybe we'll see it very soon it looks like it's done but the chip set inside apparently apple
is having problems with it having heat issues dissipating that m1 heat and an additional sort of
chipset that is hard to get the heat out of it so they're working on that kuo has also said that the
headset will come with a 96 watt charger that's used by the macbook pro so it would use a good
amount of power and have a larger battery in it apple has formed a task group to work on apple car
and is planning to work with korean manufacturers such as hyundai and kia and lg for the displays
so that's in the works and maybe we'll see it in 2025 2030 we don't really know and sometimes
apple scraps plans all together if it just doesn't work out but it does look like they're planning
something and so that's everything as far as news and rumors for this past week if there's anything
else you'd love to have me cover in these updates i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
