Hi, everyone.
Aaron here for Zollotech and this past week has been filled with even more news
about upcoming Macs, iPhones, and other things as well,
such as future products. And we'll talk more about iOS 14.3,
and when to expect that and a little bit. Now,
the first thing is sort of a service announcement.
And if you have an iPhone 11 and you have issues with touch on the display,
Apple's actually offering free replacements of the display depending on if it
falls into that category and you have that problem.
So if you have an iPhone 11 with a manufacturing date of November,
2019 to May, 2020, it may be eligible for a free replacement.
And so I'll leave a link in the description.
If you're having this issue with touch responsiveness on an iPhone 11,
they may offer you a free replacement.
If it was manufactured within those States, of course,
if you have Apple care already, and it's a problem,
you can get it replaced either way,
but they are offering that if you don't have it. Now,
if you have an Apple pro display, XDR Apple updated the firmware last week.
So if you have one of them and you weren't able to color calibrate,
you'll now be able to do that. So they calibrate them from the factory,
but every so often you'll want to calibrate them.
And if you have one of their very expensive displays,
you'll be able to now calibrate it. After you get that firmware update,
it will show up automatically in install itself.
Once you agree to it also to go along with the pro display XDR of recent patent
shows that Apple could be working on a double monitor stand for the pro display
SDRs. So maybe Apple will come up with future monitors as well for this,
but this stand based off what they charge for the regular stand could be as much
as $2,000. Currently the regular stand is $1,000.
So it's very possible. We could see a more than $2,000 stand at this point.
Now, as far as iPhone 13, there's some news about that as well.
Now this is not a real iPhone 13.
This was an iPhone 12 sort of prototype unit. That's functioning,
running Android. I've shown it before. And according to ice universe on Twitter,
it may have a smaller notch next year. And I don't mean smaller notch this way.
I mean this way. So from top to bottom,
it could be less prominent showing up on the display.
I know a lot of people would welcome this,
where they would be able to fit the components of face ID in a smaller notch.
I think that would be great.
And it would show a progression of technology and the notch has never really
been an issue for me, but I know a lot of people don't like it.
And if it's less prominent in the display area, of course I would welcome that.
It'd be great to see them fit it in the bezels as well. Also next year,
we should see better displays on the pro models. So according to Ross young,
apparently they're going to switch to LTPO displays with 120 Hertz pro motion
on the iPhone 13 pro models only.
So you would have that as an option or a pro feature like we do with the iPads
pro. So that would make sense that we would have a smoother display next year,
where it can ramp up to 120 Hertz and bring it back down.
And the problem with doing that this year, they weren't able to get it done,
or maybe they were weren't working on,
but color accuracy is key to Apple's displays and it's kind of
difficult to do the faster and slower and then manage the lighting and change
everything else and keep it with good battery as well.
And so Apple is trying to really refine that to make the displays better for
next year. Now, also the cameras will get updated next year.
Apparently Apple's going to keep the larger size. According to minchi quo,
there's changes to camera's coming that will allow for better low light,
even on the ultra-wide camera.
So we may see that as well as a Periscope zoom camera.
I've mentioned this before.
We've seen this with Samsung phones where it actually has a mirror here,
and then it zooms back and forth with a little motor in the camera module
itself to give you a clear zoom, possibly up to 10 X optical zoom,
which would be really nice.
We've seen that on the S 20 ultras and the note 20 ultras.
So it'd be great to have that in the iPhone as well. Now, as far as iOS updates,
Apple continually works on accessibility features to make the iPhone more
accessible to those that have different needs. And so on Apple's website,
if you go to their main website, go back to apple.com.
You can see that accessibility is front and center right now.
So they've updated it. It's got built in features that work the way you do,
and they really focus on everything they offer. Now.
Now that doesn't mean they can't make improvements,
but they're showing what they have right now for everything from larger text to
back tap to hearing and more so you can see all of the different
current accessibility features learn about how they work.
And it's just something that Apple is focusing on and showcasing.
And I think it's great for those that need it to make this a front and center
feature because some people need it, some don't,
but those that do really appreciate these features.
And I get emails from people all the time asking what they're doing to improve
it. So seeing Apple take a focus on this as a great thing. Now on last Friday,
Apple confirmed a new feature if you're using Apple subscription.
So maybe you buy an app, you subscribe to something, you buy an in-app purchase.
You can now share this with a family member.
So if you have family sharing turned on, if you go into settings,
then you'd tap on your name. Once you tap on subscriptions,
you'll have a new option on the top that says, share new subscriptions.
Ex eligible subscriptions will automatically be shared with your family.
So that's nice to see them do something like that.
And it's great to have them include that.
So that now in that purchases and subscriptions such things like
different movie services or anything else will be shared across devices.
Now with iOS 14.2,
there's quite a few people that have mentioned severe battery drain.
This seems to be something that's become more prominent more recently.
So it was fine for awhile, but more reporting,
severe battery drain with iOS 14.2 and then also volume lowering
issues.
And so volume seems to be going down if you're connecting your iPhone to your
AirPods, for example,
there's a new feature that actually recognizes if the volume is too loud and
brings it down. If you turn that option on to help your hearing. Now,
some people are not seeing the option to turn it off.
And when connecting to a car, for example, the volumes dropping down.
So that's a major annoyance for some,
and then also other people are seeing additional problems such as 5g dropping on
the iPhone 12 pro and the 12 pro max series or any of the iPhone 12 series.
So that's an issue for some thankfully I haven't really seen too much of that.
I did see the volume dropping,
but you can just turn that off if you have the option, but if you don't,
of course, that's going to be a problem.
So all of that is said to say that I think iOS 14.3 is coming
soon now, depending on what you look at with previous years,
iOS 13.3 released the same week last year.
So it actually released on the 10th last year of December.
Now that means we could see an update this week, that soon,
although we could see another beta, because with 13.3, we had four betas.
So we could see a release candidate and then a final later this week,
or we could see something else a little bit later.
So it's kind of interesting to see what Apple's doing with this,
but as far as updates,
we could see something very soon or we could see it the following week. However,
in previous years we haven't really seen anything in the last three weeks of
December.
So this week seems to be primed for that along with whatever Apple is releasing,
as far as the December surprise,
there's quite a few leaks saying Apple's got something in store for us as a
December surprise and whether or not that's hardware or not.
It's hard to say as there's conflicting information about leaks of a potential
Apple TV, or maybe even air tags or nothing else.
So it's kind of interesting to see Apple doing odd hardware releases late
this year, but it's possible, I suppose,
but it could be something just software related along with maybe S
14.3 and Apple fitness plus. So a couple of different updates with that.
I don't think we'll see a macro S update right away, but it's possible,
but we're pretty early on in those betas. So I would expect an,
a macOS update a little bit later, but with the iOS 14.3,
I would expect a couple of different features. For example,
we already know that it has Apple pro raw. So you'll have that option.
If you have an iPhone 12 pro or 12 pro max, along with that,
you'll have a new sound recognition sound that it can recognize and
accessibility as well as new search engine options.
And I'm sure quite a few bug fixes as well. And as soon as that's out,
I'll keep you up to date. And of course,
keep you informed as to what's in that particular update.
So I'm looking forward to that and hopefully we'll see it this week. Now,
as far as Mac lineups, well,
there's something I wanted to show you before we talk about what's coming in the
future.
This is something from the past and it was released by dangle book pro on
Twitter. It's a clear Mac, and this is a Mac that they used in testing,
maybe to show air flow through the case, maybe for other things.
But you can see here that it's a clear version of the Mac.
And it's just kind of interesting to see what Apple has worked on in the past.
And it's a prototype they never released, but with a clear case.
So it's pretty interesting.
Now a recent patent shows that Apple is researching new finishes for upcoming
Mac books. Now, this is a space gray Mac book. It's an M one Mac book pro.
And in the future, we could see a light absorbing color,
a black light absorbing color. And in the past,
we've had white and black as an option for Mac books.
And I would love to see a matte black Mac book in the future,
but maybe a Vanta black Mac book.
That means it absorbs light instead of reflects light.
So it almost looks like you're holding nothing.
You'd be holding a void of black if they do it right.
So that could be kind of interesting to see what they have.
BMW did a prototype Vantaa black BMW, and it's interesting.
You can't see it really well. And of course you wouldn't want that on the road,
but it was kind of interesting to see what that could look like.
So event of black,
maybe something light absorbing finish on a Mac book would be really
interesting.
Now we know Apple is continuing to work on upcoming max with their new Silicon
that they're putting into those. The M1 Mac books are incredible.
This is an M1 MacBook pro 13 inch, and it's just incredibly responsive and fast,
but apparently they're going to be doing something far more ambitious in 2020
with some of their other products. So according to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg,
the next M one based chips will come in 2020, of course, as we would expect,
but have up to 32 cores of performance, high performance course,
this is an eight core with four high-performance cores.
So I can't imagine how fast at 32 high performance core Mac book would be
in the Mac book pro maybe a Mac pro or an iMac.
I can't wait to see what they have along with new 16 or 32 core graphics
chips to go along with those.
So not only could we have a CPU with that much power, but as GPU as well,
and to see what Apple can do with that, with editing a video,
maybe we'll get to the point where we import a video, edit the video,
hit export, and it's done. It would be incredible to see something that fast,
but we'll have to wait and see,
of course it would be able to play games and do anything you'd want,
would that amount of power now to go along with that,
we may see a half Mac pro or a smaller Mac pro in the future,
along with a 64 to 128 core graphics chip.
So that would be another thing that's just kind of mind blowing.
These M one math books are so fast already to see something with 64 cores or
128 cores would just be unbelievable.
So I can't wait to see what Apple has for that. Now, according to minchi quo,
we'll see new and many led products coming in 2021.
We've talked about this for awhile.
There's been a lot of rumors that Apple is going to switch away from there led
backlights too many led, which would be more power efficient,
potentially brighter allow for deeper blacks with all sorts of different display
technology, which would be really nice to see in the future.
And he expects six new mini led updates.
So that means everything from the Mac book lineup to the iPads.
And maybe even I-phones,
we'll have to wait and see if they're going to do another LCD iPhone,
but I doubt that. But as far as that goes,
he also said to expect a 14.1 inch Mac book pro we've heard about that for a
while,
16 inch MacBook pro and a 27 inch iMac redesigned with mini led.
And I would expect that in the future. And that seems to make sense. Now,
finally, AirPods are going to get a redesign.
It looks like there's some prototypes that were leaked by 52 audio.
So these are the AirPods pro,
but it looks like the next generation AirPods three,
won't have the noise cancellation and ceiling in your ear,
but they'll have a redesign as opposed to ear pods.
So it looks like we could see those in early 20, 21.
And so I'm looking forward to an updated AirPods, of course,
as soon as all of these things come out, I'll be sure to cover them.
And if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper,
of course I'll link it in the description like I normally do.
