hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this past week was packed with news about
the upcoming iphone 14 the apple event and we're only a week away this is your news update for
the week of august 28 2022 and now that we know all about the iphone 14 event on september 7th
apple has made the twitter hash flag available so if you put in hashtag and then apple event you'll
have the little sort of universe or apple there you can see and if you tweet that you'll see that
and they do this every time there's a new event now applecare for mac has been available as a
yearly or monthly subscription in the usa for a little while it's now available for max pro
display xdr and new studio displays in additional countries with canada australia and japan
so just like you can pay monthly for the iphone if you want to pay for applecare or you can pay
for it all at once you can do that with mac now as well in those countries the other day
apple launched a new education community and they've had apple teacher for a while if you're
signed up as an educator you might get this email and it says the apple education community is here
your new hub for professional learning and you'll see it says be one of the first connect in the
forum so they have a new forum where you can get help you can also get more resources if you're
an educator maybe you're a teacher in a school you can get more resources available for those
particular devices and learn more about them so that's something that you may see if you're a
teacher this past weekend apple held their first retail store company-wide meeting since 2019.
that has been a while since they've had one and while they don't normally tell retail employees
about specifics of their upcoming event they do encourage them to get ready for new products and
services talk about new hours and more so that's something they talked about and also to discuss
recent mentions of unionization so that's something they've been talking about
at different retail locations where people are wanting to unionize so
they were probably discussing something along those lines we don't know the specifics but they
did have that meeting apple recently had a lawsuit against them for applecare when maybe you had a
problem with your phone you'd bring it in because you had an issue with the camera or something else
and in the past they might have handed you a refurbished device many people complained about
this there was a lawsuit and apple has agreed to pay 95 million dollars in damages for that
eligible customers will receive an email by august 30th about that and if they respond before
november 28 2022 they'll receive a payment of 28.90 as it's spread out over millions of people
so if that's something you are affected by you may receive an email for that fairly soon if you
haven't already the us department of justice is getting closer to filing an anti-trust lawsuit
against apple as it continues to grow we've heard about this in the past we've had lawsuits
about maybe forcing them to switch to usbc and other things and now it looks like an anti-trust
lawsuit could be coming up just like we had with microsoft years ago it's expected to be filed by
the end of the year by the u.s department of justice so maybe we'll see something with that
what that has to do with it specifically whether that be the app store just the overall phone in
general or different devices we'll have to wait and see but either way let me know what you think
about that in the comments below apple again this past week released the safari technology preview
and this was updated to version 152 so this is the latest version with different performance
and bug fixes and if you want to try it out you can it's available on monterey and also mac os
ventura for many people so if you want to download the safari technology preview you can do that
and you'll see its availability here with its release notes so it was released on august 24th
of course this past week we also had the release of ios 16 betas and more we'll talk more about
that in a moment but just like i have every week i thought we'd talk about deals as we keep seeing
more and more of course the airpods pro are on perpetual deals it seems sold by apple on
amazon so they're typically about 179 however at this point i'd probably hold off on buying them
as we expect airpods pro 2 to come out very soon however there's some great deals with apple tv 4k
it's still 119 or almost 60 off and there's an even better deal on the latest m1 macbook pro
if you're looking for a 14 inch this is a macbook air but if you're looking for the 14 inch m1 pro
with the 512 gigabyte option it's 400 off right now on amazon again sold by apple so i'll leave
links to all of those things in the description like i normally do of course they are affiliate
links so i'll get a little bit of commission if you do buy from there if not just search for
amazon and then search for those different products and you'll see them there as well
now as far as ios 15.6 that's no longer being signed by apple that means you can't downgrade
from ios 16 or even ios 15.6.1 back to ios 15.6 it's no longer being signed so that's something
we typically see usually after a new version comes out it's really typical for apple to do
that a week or two later however many people are asking if we should expect to see an ios 15.7
as a last version of ios 15. last year we had ios 14.8 release and that was in september so it's
possible we could have another one with security updates and some small changes toward the end
however if we do see that since apple's moved up the apple event this year to september 7th
we could see it this week or possibly next week at some point otherwise i just don't think we're
going to see one before the release of ios 16. this week we had the release of ios 16 beta 8 and
next week after the apple event on on the 7th i would expect ios 16 release candidate to come
out or ios 16 rc that's the final version that releases to developers before the final version
is pushed out to the public so on the 7th we can expect the rc then after that on the 9th we can
have the pre-orders of iphone 14 then a final sale of those on the 16th usually on that monday
the 12th is when we'll see ios 16 released to the public it could be between monday tuesday
or wednesday but normally we'll have it sometime in that sort of time frame
that's when it will push out to everyone however ipad os and mac os would be pushed out a little
bit later but that's when you can expect those particular updates to come out now the iphone
14 pro and 14 pro max are expected to be offered in a new purple color this year and some images
were recently leaked on weibo showing what it would look like on these sort of model iphones so
it may not look exactly like this but dwan rui posted this on twitter as well so you can see what
it looks like so we can expect i guess a purple color although they did get it wrong last year
this year's device is also expected to have a 30 watt fast charging capability in the pro models
according to a recent leak that could mean part of the reason we have this new 30 watt charger
where we could actually have it charge very fast or 35 watts so we could charge our iphone up to
30 watts our apple watch at 5 watts or so and just use this charger so that would make a lot of sense
if we have that fast charging going on this year however we're not expecting them to switch to usbc
with iphone 14 but rather in 2023 with iphone 15 to comply to laws so they don't have to comply to
those until then we could see that switched a little bit later also on twitter shrimp apple
pro and ice universe also posted what iphone 14 pro and promax displays would look like with the
hole punch and pill cutout or what looks like a sideways eye so we've had the notch for a while
on the pro looks like we're moving to that sort of eye or pill and hole punch display not sure what
we should call it at this point but it looks like that's coming up soon also iphone 14 this time
looks like it could be offered up to two terabytes of storage so that's possible it would make a lot
of sense if it's going to have a 48 megapixel 8k camera but we would need a way to get that footage
off of the device more quickly than what we have currently with lightning as that would take up to
two hours in some cases to get that off of the device just using lightning we really need usbc
or maybe a very fast version of airdrop something like that would be much welcome as it's really
difficult to use prores and then offload that footage it just takes a very long time
and that might be why the latest iphone 14 chips are said to offer wi-fi 6e maybe with upgraded
chipsets internally whether that be with wi-fi wi-fi direct airdrop or something else we could
see a faster version of that also a recent rumor suggested that the iphone 14s will have a new
cooling system or a new vapor chamber cooling system similar to what other manufacturers have
where we would have a copper heat sink over the device over the processor and then they could
move some of that heat out and dissipate it either through the frame or through the back of the phone
i think that would be much needed in some cases with playing games or recording video sometimes
the phone can get very hot especially if you're in hot ambient temperatures so that would be welcomed
by many people also it would help keep the battery cool as well iphone 14 models may finally gain
satellite connectivity that mark german mentioned apple was working on this would allow for
emergency calls and text messages in areas without cell signal it would also be a joint venture with
apple and globestar who apparently acquired 17 satellites however recently this past week there
was a similar announcement from t-mobile stating that they wouldn't require new hardware they would
just be able to push those cell signals over the starlink satellite so that's something maybe they
announced before apple maybe to get a jump on that as many have suspected as it's not related so it
looks like we could have that maybe that's what the new invite is all about with showing space
however many suspect it has to do with the camera other than the larger 48 megapixel camera we're
also said to be having an upgrade to the ultra wide camera according to ming chi quo where it
would have a larger sensor that's better in low light so that's something we could see as well
we're also said to not be getting that titanium frame that many people had been thinking about so
some of these things may be coming soon but again we'll have to wait for that event to find out for
sure a recent rumor from john prosser suggests that the next generation version of the iphone se
would look just like this iphone 10r where they would reuse the overall design and that's what
apple typically does to keep costs down however i wish they'd use the iphone 11 if they are going to
use this because we would like to have that extra camera for iphone se users but either way it makes
sense that they would reuse a similar design and it would be a nice upgrade over the smaller sc as
far as battery life and display size however you would lose the touch id sensor so maybe they could
incorporate that in the side or maybe they'll just get rid of touch id altogether but either way it
looks like this is something we could see however i don't expect it anytime soon a recent bluetooth
filing is showing that apple is working on devices with bluetooth 5.2 this could be for rumored
airpods pro 2 which are said to have higher fidelity audio so we could have lost this audio
true lossless audio streamed over to the airpods this is something we hopefully will see very soon
so again like i said before if you need a pair of airpods pro you could get them now discounted
but you may want to wait as there could be some significant upgrades with that also we're waiting
for an upgraded apple watch series 8 of course and the upcoming pro model of the series a apple
watch will have an even larger 47 millimeter display according to recent leaks from mac avcaro
it's still said to have a titanium case but even better battery life due to the larger area
and also recent rumors suggest that the new apple watch pro would not be compatible with current
watch bands so we may need separate watch bands for a pro watch that wouldn't surprise me too much
although we've never seen that from apple so again we'll have to wait and see also other than the one
sensor that we've heard about maybe a temperature sensor apple's won a lot of patents about
the apple watch this year could feature that same satellite connectivity according to mark
german where we might be lost in the middle of the woods maybe we're in an area without sell signal
or maybe we just don't have cellular connectivity where we live you'd still be able to connect and
message people or call for help if you needed it now of course we're waiting for updated ipads
again we're expecting a 10.2 inch or possibly 10.5 inch ipad that looks similar to the ipad air
and some upgraded ipads pro so those things should all be coming but probably in october with the
release of ipad os 16. so that should be at a separate event where we see most of that when it
comes to the mac m2 pro and m2 max have long been rumored to be updated since apple showed off the
m2 macbook air so we now have the regular m2 and the macbook air here as well as the 13-inch pro
but we don't see the pro and max or even ultra versions according to mark german the 14 and
16-inch m2 variants are well into development and testing and we could see them as soon as the end
of this year ming chi quo is also backing this up saying to expect them to enter production by
the end of this year so we could see those before the end of the year with just updated processors
i would not expect a whole redesign though also apple just applied for a trademark for reality one
reality processor and reality pro this refers to what's expected to be the upcoming ar
and vr headsets we know from ios code that apple has something called reality os which is believed
to be the operating system behind their new their new headset so maybe we'll finally get to see what
that's all about this year maybe it'll be a one more thing at this event or maybe it'll just push
it to a little bit later this year either way i can't wait to see what that's all about as apple
typically takes their time to get things right and so that's everything for this past week of
course i would expect that beta update this week with beta 8 and then a release candidate and a
final version very soon of ios 16 and then we're getting into very exciting times where we'll have
iphone 14 new apple watches and more so as soon as we know more about that of course i'll be sure
to share that let me know what you're most excited about in the comments below and of course if you'd
