apple is bringing back a legendary product that changed the whole
world i know some of you teens and young
adults don't even know about this but today we will take a step back in time
and see how steve jobs shocked everybody and everybody was on this new tech we'll
talk about what it is when it's going to come out and how it is going to be
affecting the new m2 max let's go ahead and jump right back in time back in 1999
steve jobs went on stage and showed off the ibook g3 this was a colorful laptop
it looks really funky and weird today but looked really awesome back then go
ahead and let me know down below if you're somebody that has used one of
these macbooks now not only did it have unique features like a built-in handle
to make it much easier to carry it also had one secret feature that we'll talk
about in a sec it also had pretty good performance especially for the price tag
where apple priced it lower than the competitors while offering a lot more
bang for the buck that kind of sounds like the m1 macbook air to me right now
where it's cheaper and better than all of the competition in that category
after steve gave all of the specs and then showed off different versions of
television ads that they would do back in the day he came out with his
legendary well but there is one more thing
there is one more thing let me just show this to you for a minute okay okay come
on up here i just want to show you this working he brought a cameraman on stage
and proceeded to open up the laptop and he connected to the internet which was
completely normal but then he busted out the hula hoop and the crowd went
nuts so what did he do with them well he spun it through and all around
the laptop while being connected to the internet something that was never done
before yes apple was the very first company to
release a laptop with wireless networking most of us our age my age and
younger didn't even know this and in the following years they changed the world
with this new laptop and this new networking that they were including
everybody from teachers students people at home were switching to wi-fi and
enjoying the freedom that it gave now in order to make this possible they needed
networking a wi-fi router to allow people to connect to and to make it easy
which is where this flying saucer comes in now apple wasn't the first company to
make a wi-fi router but they were the ones that really pushed this whole
technology forward the airport base station looked funky but it gave you
everything you need with the modem inside connectivity with a bunch of
devices good range very easy to use and it actually had the fastest speed that
just came out for wireless connectivity it was 10 times faster than before so if
apple made the first laptop with wi-fi and they really revolutionized this
whole industry what's happening today well four years ago apple officially
discontinued their lineup of airport extreme and time capsules which i'll
talk about in a sec and they just dump this whole market we're gonna talk about
why they did that why it's coming back and how we know and how it's gonna
affect these brand new macs coming out what changes those are going to bring
this info that we have is coming from imagine boo and if you're wondering well
who the heck is that this is a guy that covers a lot of information leaks a lot
of software stuff that we've actually covered in the past and if you don't
think he's credible check this out he was actually the first person to talk
about mixer software that apple is developing to bring a mac os like
experience to the ipads that we covered now this came out we were hoping that it
is true and then just a little bit later patents were released and approved
showing this whole interface how you'll be able to connect your ipad to a
keyboard and get a mac os like experience so apple's patents backed up
what he was talking about in terms of software now on top of that steve trott
and smith just put out this information talking about webkit and how it just had
extra infrastructure added to allow for a multi-tasking mode on ios that looks
like it's a system toggle that enables freely resizable windows now we know
wwdc is coming out we are going to get ipad os 16. this phone info is coming up
and they are actually making preparations for it as we see so here it
is the new hardware the new leaked information for majin buu and according
to his sources they are seeing from mac os 13 that there should be a version of
time machine the backup system for your max that's completely redone it's going
to be integrated with icloud drive and in addition apple is expecting to
introduce new airports in november why would apple want to do that why would
they discontinue their airports four years ago and then now all of a sudden
they're gonna be bringing it back well when we take a look back at the airports
they were launching them when we had major changes in technology the first
flying saucer model brought this technology to the masses and then the
airport extreme is what allowed for ultra fast speeds and for broadband to
be able to use instead of slow dial up on top of that they made it so easy to
set up and to use instead of having to use a web login browser that's a lot of
them still need now and then four to five years later we had another
breakthrough product called time capsule this took your airport extreme and your
hard drive that you would use for backup and fuse them together this gave people
a super easy and reliable solution that was automated and worked on multiple
macs in your house without having to do anything it was incredible and then
another four years later apple brought out the latest airport extreme design
with the trashcan mac pro that came out right as we got the ac standard that had
multiple streams dual band boarding antennas super great range and it also
could include a hard drive for that time capsule backup so this design was their
very last one that they didn't update for a while and then they ended up
canceling now believe it or not people are still spending a lot of money on
this older outdated deck because it's easy to use it's reliable and you have
those backups so why did apple not really change anything well not much
happened in many years after that the wireless stayed the same the speeds many
routers are still using those today and third-party options got so cheap that
these were just kind of too expensive for a lot of people and in fact even the
2019 mac pro and all of the macs other than the new m1s only support internet
speeds as fast as this airport extreme they don't support wi-fi six now
recently wi-fi six started to come out the new macbooks finally support it but
they're still a little bit back dated on the bluetooth and we now have wi-fi 6e
that was released and people start to spend way more money on their routers
some of these wi-fi 60 routers are incredibly expensive and people are
buying them hard drives have also gotten much cheaper since apple came out with a
time capsule and were charging a ton of money for this new technology and with
that not only has it been four years since apple discontinued the airport
line but they are also going to be coming out with a new mac pro that they
talked about which is right in time for new technology wi-fi 6e and an airport
extreme or whatever they want to call it that also enables that technology bring
me to these new macs if apple is going to put out a new wi-fi router just like
we've seen before every time they released a new one it was the very
newest latest and greatest wi-fi technology going back all the way to the
very first one this is going to be prime time to switch to this new generation
upgrade all their connectivity and gives users you know what they want now along
with that leak we also have the info about icloud drive you've been able to
back up your ipads your iphones your apple watch all to icloud drive but on
the mac side it has only been certain files that if they're deleted online or
on your mac they get removed you know vice versa so if you have been using
that it doesn't work great you still have to use time machine and because of
that people are still buying these very expensive overpriced old time capsule
airport extremes to have automatic backups that are off of their laptop
without having to plug in a cable i'm really shocked that apple has not
implemented this yet with icloud drive now if they're going to be doing this
maybe they won't put a hard drive in the actual airport extreme maybe they're
going to wrap it up in their bundles and with that they might also enable
higher capacities we've been capped at two terabytes for a while some people
even have two plans so maybe they'll go up to five and give a larger amount for
people to use especially with family plans which is the way that i use it now
with that a lot of people and publications have been talking about how
this is the missing piece from apple's lineup people are saying they should
bring it back it makes sense especially now with these brand new m1 and upcoming
m2 powered macs so apple it seems like is going to give people what they want
now you guys let me know down below is this something that you're interested in
will you buy something from apple that can be integrated in the whole ecosystem
or do you already have another solution that works really well for you i want to
