hi everyone aaron here for zollotech and
this past week has had a ton of news and
i didn't have a news update the previous
week so there's a lot to go over this is
your news update for the week of may
23rd 2022 and the first thing is tim
cook has won the most influential person
on time magazine you can see here out of
the time 100 tim cook and lauren powell
jobs actually wrote part of the piece so
that's something that they just updated
today and if you want to check it out
it's available at time.com or one of the
time magazines apple discontinued the
ipod touch or ipod a couple weeks ago
and i never did anything as far as that
goes but just wanted to share this was
my first ipod this is actually the
fourth generation ipod 40 gigabytes and
it still works so if i turn it on here
you'll see the batteries really low and
it probably could use a replacement but
it still works just fine go into music
go to artists whatever you want and the
the click wheel still works great it
still has all the music on here that
worked and occasionally it doesn't work
properly because it has a hard drive the
hard drive will click and something
you're never supposed to do with hard
drives is smack them against something
but that fixes this every single time so
if you just slap this against your hand
it frees up the read head on the hard
drive and it actually works and it's
worked like that for many many years so
this works great unfortunately apple has
discontinued the ipod maybe paving the
way for a new os apple music prices have
increased for students in many countries
going up from 1.49 per month to 1.99 per
month so you get a 25 increase and while
still very reasonable it is an increase
likely due to inflation and other
factors apple hasn't said specifically
why they've just increased the price
also apple continues to sell millions of
iphones and shipments were up almost 20
in the first quarter of 2022 according
to canalis that's compared with 2021 so
there's still huge interest in iphone
and a huge amount of people still buying
them whether you're coming from an
iphone 7 iphone 10 12 even an iphone 12
pro to a 13 pro it looks like many
people are buying them apple doesn't
report specific numbers but it looks
like shipments overall were up now the
european union is still working to
change the way apple operates with
developers there's been some concern
that they haven't opened up the app
store enough and that they need to open
this up even more so it looks like
they're working to change that to force
apple to give developers access to not
just different app stores or maybe side
loading apps but all hardware and
software features of the device meaning
face id and much more such as imessage
facetime and more so that could really
be something that changes the way iphone
operates in the next few years if
they're allowed to do that but right now
this is just something they're working
on also the us uk australia japan and
south korea are looking closer at
forcing apple to open its ecosystem more
as well so we may see some big changes
in the next few years although i'm
curious what you think should this be
something apple is made to do or should
they be allowed to keep everything
closed even though they sell a huge
amount of phones let me know what you
think in the comments below apple is
reportedly in talks with ea to
apparently acquire them so they may be
looking to purchase ea recently
microsoft bought activision and now ea
may be the last one left that apple
could grab and then really push them to
use things such as apple arcade or maybe
even future devices maybe gaming devices
or maybe to do with that ar vr headset
that we're expecting later on so maybe
some good things could come out of that
but either way it looks like big
companies are grabbing game companies
and i really miss the days when they
were a bit more independent and a little
more creative but maybe we'll see some
changes very soon with that
now if you use t-mobile like i do but
you use an e-sim i actually use a
physical sim in the side of the phone if
you use an esim there's been reports of
problems where it would deactivate
imessage and facetime now this has been
responded to by t-mobile and apple mark
german first reported this and
apparently they're working on it so this
is a reason we could see a future
version of ios very soon we'll talk
about that in a moment but if you have
t-mobile and you're having a problem
where it's deactivating imessage and
also facetime and maybe some other
things
if you get a physical sim that usually
fixes the problem but if you have an e
sim that seems to be an ongoing issue
even with the latest version of ios
apple's chipset manufacturer tsmc who
makes the chipset in the iphone the ipad
and the new apple silicon max is looking
to build another factory in singapore to
help tackle future demands so right now
there's a lot of different issues going
around the world with the supply chain
and tsmc is looking to build new
factories there in the united states as
well so we could see a big supply chain
shift over the next five years or so
apple's ceo tim cook also recently met
with the prime minister of vietnam to
talk about manufacturing there as well
so diversifying that manufacturing
around the world we already have iphone
13 being manufactured in india and also
in south america so we could see this
spread all throughout the us as well as
other places around the world now apple
this week introduced new it training
courses and certifications you can see
that on training.apple.com you can take
courses online to be certified and then
choose the path you want to go i t
training as you can see here
and you can be trained here completely
online prepare for the exam take the
exam and get certified as well so this
is something they launched they've had
these programs for a while but now
they've been updated and all online so
you can do everything from device
support to deployment and management and
much more so you have all of that
information here you can check it out
and i'll leave a link for it in the
description below now when i was talking
about future ios versions with those
problems with t-mobile if they can't fix
it on their end and it's not something
that can be done remotely we could
expect a new version of ios very soon to
address that and maybe some additional
security issues so it's possible we
could see an ios
15.5.1 this week something to address
some of those issues and i've heard from
some of you that said they even had
similar issues on a t where the esim
would deactivate imessage and facetime
and they weren't able to fix it a
physical sim card would fix that so it's
possible we see something to address
that it seems like with these latest
updates the modem updates with cellular
data in general have seemed to be a
little less than reliable sometimes
switching between different types such
as 4g and 5g are problematic and it just
is an ongoing issue hopefully apple
resolves this very very soon
now of course if you've been following
along we had a ton of releases this past
week as well ios 15.5 as well as ipad
mac tv home pod os and watch os updates
and then they also pushed out some beta
updates as well with 15.6 and ipad os
15.6 and all the next versions that are
currently out so we could see a beta as
soon as this week but usually with early
betas it's unlikely that we see them
every week usually we'll see them the
following week so maybe on the 30th or
31st or the 1st of june we'll get a new
beta 2 for ios 15.6 but again apple can
change this up and then of course
they're getting ready for ios 16. so ios
16 is expected on june 6th we'll see
that at wwdc and on june 6 we can expect
ios 16 beta 1. now this is expected to
be a major update and have big updates
to apps as well according to mark german
so we should see some huge updates with
ios 16 and i've said this in a few
different videos where i think apple's
getting ready to do that as we've had
pretty smart updates with ios 15 lately
so maybe they're just working on the
core elements of ios and then getting
ready for big updates with ios 15. not a
full system redesign but some major
changes with interactions according to
mark german meaning maybe a new control
center or new interactions throughout so
we can expect that on june 6th however
mark german has also said that the first
betas of ios 16 are quite buggy and this
is typical every single year
and that the public beta would not be
available until maybe july with beta 3.
now we've seen delayed betas before with
ios 13. so with ios 13 apple released
the first developer beta on june 4th
2019. ios 13 beta 2 was released to
developers on june 18 2019 and the first
ios 13 public beta was released on june
24th so they've delayed this before a
little bit between beta 2 and beta 3. so
we could see a similar scenario here if
it's overly buggy i typically don't
recommend installing the first version
of the next major ios update until maybe
beta 2 or beta 3 anyway until apple
works out many of the major issues with
it so i'd really hold off if you were
looking forward to that but we should
see all of the different features and
everything with that very soon it's only
two weeks away or so at this point so
i'm looking forward to that as many of
you are as well now also watch os 9 is
expected to get some major updates as
well it's also said to be getting a big
update with possible satellite
connectivity coming to series 8 apple
watches so that's possibly a feature of
the new apple watch with some of the
antennas in here also new sleep tracking
features new women's health features
more updated watch faces as we don't
have very many right now we can see a
bunch of those a new low power mode like
we have on the iphone but with advanced
features and then also updated a
fibrillation detection so if you have a
watch that can check for afib that's
something that may be in the new one as
well so we should see that along with
some surprise features also this past
week dwan rui on twitter showed the
first cases of the iphone 14 to give us
an idea of the camera sized compared to
the four different models iphone 14 pro
max iphone 14 max or maybe it will be
called iphone 14 plus iphone 14 pro and
iphone 14. you can see the overall
layout there's no longer an iphone 14
mini as many have predicted before and
you'll see what it looks like here so
that's what we can expect with the next
version of iphone they're just cases and
they just give us the size and help case
manufacturers determine what size to
make their next cases as well so they
can get ahead of it and have them ready
once the iphone 14 launches in september
the iphone 14 camera is expected to get
a big update this time around
where it's going to cost at least three
times more according to the supply chain
so it should get a major update with
some better auto focus and some
additional features that's one of the
areas apple has been lacking a little
bit compared to others and i think it's
due for a major update with center stage
and maybe no longer a notch like we've
been seeing as well cuoming qi this week
said apple is still working on a folding
iphone but investigating a new color
e-ink display technology now e-ink if
you're not familiar with it is used in
the amazon kindle and some other devices
and once it's changed to what you see on
the display it doesn't use power anymore
so a color version of that maybe for an
external display on a folding iphone
makes a lot of sense it could show you
the time update to that and once the
time is displayed or maybe notifications
it doesn't use any additional power
they're very low power and that could
add for some additional battery life
compared to what you get on maybe a
samsung fold where they have multiple
displays that use a lot of power and
they don't get the greatest battery life
so it looks like apple's looking into
this
now apple before made airport devices
some of the best routers that i've used
i used them for years and then they sort
of got outdated this week a new fcc
filing shows apple is working on
releasing a network adapter of some sort
that has wi-fi bluetooth nfc and usb-c
so that would have internal storage as
well and ram and firmware running
19f47 which was an early build of ios
15.5 so they use ios 15 on the new
studio display they could use it in a
new airport router so that makes a lot
of sense having a new router eero came
along and then amazon bought them and
they're the most similar to what airport
was and i really liked the airport
devices set them up and just use it
there was not much to them and they
handled it itself so maybe we'll see
that at wwdc or very soon since there
was an fcc filing now we're hearing
again that the next apple watch series 8
is going to be that squared off design
we thought the series 7 was now it's
said that the series 7 at the last
minute was changed and just given that
bigger display but it looks like the
upcoming series 8 may finally get that
squared off design again but we'll have
to wait and see and i'm not holding my
breath as leakers were very wrong about
this last time but a redesign of some
sort seems to be a nice move and
something i would welcome as it's been
the same design with just larger and
larger screens for quite some time so we
could see something like that in the
near future quo also said this week that
apple is working on a new homepod now
we've heard this from mark german before
that we would have a new homepod maybe
in late 2022 or early 2023 the design
and updates are unknown and if it's a
homepod or homepod mini size that's also
still unknown but mark german previously
said that apple's working on a new
homepod that's in between the size of
the mini and the regular original
homepod since apple discontinued the
original homepod there definitely is
reason that we could see more and apple
expand this i personally would like them
to give us an option to use these as
surround sound speakers maybe adobe
atmos setup on what we have with apple
tv maybe introduce a subwoofer and a
full system that way that's something i
would welcome but so far it doesn't look
like apple's doing that and we could
just have a new homepod update but that
could be as soon as the end of this year
now with the ipad pro we've had this
mini led display that's quite incredible
for quite some time according to analyst
ross young apple is planning to launch a
new 27-inch monitor with a mini led
display in october originally it was
supposed to be earlier but was delayed
due to lockdowns that are happening in
china hampering the supply chain so this
is something we could see very soon it
looks very much like the studio display
has internals designed for a more
impressive display than what they have
in it than just a 5k it has fans and
everything else and it makes more sense
for it to have a mini led and maybe
that's just something apple couldn't
supply so they came out with the studio
display either way we could expect that
hopefully in october ross young has a
pretty good track record that way this
week we've heard a lot about apple's
upcoming ar or vr headset mark german at
bloomberg said that apple's board
members have been shown the upcoming
headset and this would mean it's near
completion and could be shown as soon as
wwdc it's expected in late 2022 or early
2023 but apple could show it as soon as
wwdc if they want to get developers
started developing games for it and
maybe checking out the new reality os
wayne mah from the information revealed
more details about it as well and
challenges apple had with the upcoming
headset he said it has 14 cameras to
track faces and expressions for avatars
and more and apparently johnny ive is
still involved in designs from
ergonomics to battery placement the
initial headset will not be focused on
gaming however and it's said to use hand
gestures instead of the controls that we
have on different meta devices or maybe
vive devices or whatever else you're
using for headsets again it's also
expected to use apple's upcoming m2
chipset so i wouldn't expect it as soon
as maybe september but we could see it
at the end of the year or early next
year and many people still suspect it
around three thousand dollars and so
that's everything over the past couple
of weeks for the news tons of different
things of course i'm looking forward to
ios 16 the most right now since it's
just two weeks away let me know what
you're looking most forward to whether
it be ios or different hardware in the
comments below if you'd like to get your
hands on this wallpaper of course i'll
link it in the description like i
