hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and iPhone 15 and iOS 17 are just about a month or so away
we'll talk about both of those the iPhone 15 what we know about it when we expect the event date
to be and much more this is your weekly Apple news update for the week of August 6 2023. now
Apple pay is coming to Chile this week this is according to a local newspaper in Chile so that
should be available as soon as tomorrow according to that newspaper so if you have apple wallet go
into that you may have the option for Apple pay if you don't have cards already set up in there
set one up and if your bank supports it or your card supports it you should have that option as
soon as tomorrow Apple had their earnings call this past week I'll link it in the description
but you can listen on their website and for the third quarter they made 81.8 billion in
revenue and had 19.9 billion in profit that's actually down a little bit year over year Apple
has also said they're seeing a Slowdown in the smartphone market in general as sales have been
down over the past couple of quarters in the USA there's been others suggest testing that iPhone
15 will actually have less demand than previous generations of iPhone but we'll have to see if
that's the case after it's announced Tim Cook also said that most iPhones are bought on some sort of
a program and not bought out right so most people are financing them at least in the United States
or buying them on some sort of carrier program where they can upgrade every year Tim Cook also
said he uses the Apple Vision Pro every single day and apple Vision Pro is something that seems to be
sort of looked forward to by a lot of people but many people are skeptical about it Apple recently
held developer labs for upcoming Apple Vision Pro headsets but apparently not many attended now this
could be due to either a lack of Interest or that Apple only offered it in Cupertino in the USA and
select cities around the world it was hard to get to and maybe it wasn't worth it if you're not sure
if you should develop an app to fly all the way over to California if you're on the east coast and
spend the money to stay in a hotel and go to those conferences so I'm curious what you think about
Apple Vision Pro though in the comments below MacBooks and iPads imported into India now require
a license according to a new policy announced the other day in India this doesn't just affect
Max but others as well both Apple and Samsung have actually responded and halted All Imports to India
temporarily now this may be part of India's policy to try and build things in their country more and
more and so maybe that will happen as Apple's building iPhones and other products in India but
they may have to work with India to get different licenses so that they can sell those there now
now apple is actually selling refurbished airpods 3 for the first time if you want
airpods 3 refurbished you can get them for 149. however they're for sale from Apple on Amazon
directly at 159 so you may want to just buy them new for about ten dollars more but we could see
airpods for this fall so we'll have to wait and see as far as the event goes but we could see new
ones soon and maybe that's why they're selling them refurbished also airpods Pro 2 are on sale
still for 199 dollars and the new Macbook Air 15 is up to 200 off I'll link that in the description
below if you want to check it out also something else I'll link is from today's sponsor case coup
this is the case coup magic stand case it comes in clear space black and there are new clear purple
and clear black cases too it's a protective case that adds grip and looks great and it also has
raised bezels around the screen and camera but also has a hidden stand built in the stand allows
for a 40 to 120 degree angle and has a magnet in the ring of the stand that supports magsay
accessories and charging and Casco is having a three-day flash Sales Event with up to 40 percent
off within the first hour of the sale and 25 off select products throughout the day I'll link them
in the description along with a discount code if you want to check them out now as far as the
iPhone event that we're expecting in a month or so it seems like it's going to be on the 13th or
the 12th and the reason I say that is there was a recent leak about that however Apple typically
does not have events on Wednesdays so normally it's on a Tuesday and I would think the 12th is
more likely either way I would highly suspect it would be available that week with the iPhone going
for pre-order that Friday on the 15th and then up for sale the next week on the 22nd that seems the
most likely also iOS 17 would be on the following week as well typically that Monday usually around
the 18th or 19th we would see the final release of iOS 17 release to the public that's typically
what we expect with every event and so at that event we expect a couple different things we
expect the iPhone 15 launch we also expect an Apple Watch Ultra 2 Apple Watch series
9 possibly airpods 4 and maybe some surprises as well however it seems that it's just going to be
an iPhone event an Apple Watch event then maybe we'll have a Mac event lay later on in October
we've seen that many years year over year now as far as the next updates we expect iOS 17 beta 5
as soon as tomorrow typically Apple releases it around the 8th they released it on the 8th last
year with iOS 16 beta 5. I would expect that along with iOS 17 public beta 3 this week unless there's
a problem then we could see it the following week like we had last time however typically
when we have IOS beta 5 a beta 5 version usually means we'll have weekly releases after that so we
could have a couple more releases maybe beta 7 maybe beta 8 and then a final release within a
couple weeks after that so we're getting close to the final release iOS 17 is being more and
more refined and seems to be a very stable update it's not without its problems but it's still in
beta but of course I'll have updates about that as well now before we talk about iPhone let's
first talk about Apple watch apple is expected to introduce an Apple Watch series 9 that won't
be too different we'll have a similar design but maybe an upgraded chip with a new S9 system on a
chip or SOC also Apple watch Ultra is expected to be offered in a new black titanium according
to leaker shrimp Apple Pro it would have the exact same design as we have now but just have
a black option with maybe a new updated chip inside other than that we're not expecting any
major changes here when it comes to iPhone 15 we're expecting four new models this year these
are just models I've shown before in different videos but basically we're expecting an iPhone
15 an iPhone 15 plus iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max some have suggested that it may be
called iPhone 15 Ultra we don't know 100 percent Apple sometimes changes this to at the last minute
however they are already manufacturing these so it's most likely already set and it's probably
Pro Max but we don't know a hundred percent we are expecting a price increase this year for the
Pro Models the base models are expected to be the same at 7.99 and 8.99 to start in the USA
and the iPhone 15 pro and pro Max models are expected to get at least a one hundred dollar
price increase maybe from 1099 to 12.99 to start depending on who you ask we're also expecting a
new blue color some had rumored that it would be a red color we could see either one we've heard
orange in the past but right now we don't know until they announce it as Apple sort of keeps
that pretty close and it seems that they don't really know a hundred percent but most leakers
are actually saying to expect sort of a light blue color as you've seen already here so that's sort
of what this could look like we don't know a hundred percent but that seems highly likely
as far as the overall design we're expecting a very similar design however it's a little
bit more rounded and I've shown this in different videos where it rounds across the frame over onto
the glass so it's a little nicer to hold in your hand we're expecting titanium frames on the 15 pro
and pro Max models along with a new action button that could be programmed I've shown this that it's
been found in The Code by steamogen and you could press this button and have it programmed just like
the Apple watch Ultra so you'd be able to select something instead of just having it as a switch
that silences the phone of course everything else is fairly similar with the exception of USBC we're
expecting USBC to take place of lightning this time around this is to comply with different laws
in the EU and make sense we need that for faster data transfer as Apple never really bumped the
speed on the lightning as far as transferring data and with features such as prores and pro
raw moving large files off of the phone can take a long time especially if you're recording video
now we're also expecting new process in the Pro Models a new a17 bionic for Pro Models
built on a three nanometer process which could reduce size and increase efficiency up to eight
gigabytes of RAM this time around and Wi-Fi 6E according to many different that have seen the
a17 bionic chips so that makes sense brings it up to the current standard we're also hearing a
few questionable rumors saying that the iPhone 15 Pro Models will start at 256 gigs of storage and
offer up to two terabytes of storage now again that makes sense if you're recording prores as
far as the camera is concerned as that takes up a huge amount of storage and you'd be able to
offload those video files using USBC so that would make sense although that would be very
expensive probably close to two thousand dollars if they do actually offer that now the display
this time around we expect some changes all of them are expected to have the dynamic Island so
every single model we're also expecting smaller bezels this was first shown by unknowns 21 in
shrimp Apple Pro where it would have thinner bezels and recent renders by Ian zeldo on nine
to five Mac show them next to previous models so they've been thinning out the bezels over time
it's really nice on a phone since you have a place to grip the phone on the sides and then see the
smaller bezels here so I would love to see that and it gives us more screen real estate as well
also we're expecting bigger batteries now this may or may not come to the iPhone 15 models but with
a smaller CPU in the Pro Models maybe being the three nanometer process an update of components
there as well make room for a larger battery however the new stacked Battery Technology that
was rumored for iPhone 15 is apparently destined for the iPhone 16 models instead also the iPhone
15 and 15 plus are said to be getting the matte finish that we've had on the pro models for quite
some time with the frosted glass on the back this would be great it eliminates fingerprints
makes things look better I would just love to see that on the Pro Models where we have the Frosted
aluminum or sort of anodized aluminum look instead of the shiny steel maybe that's what they're doing
with titanium one other thing we've been hearing is that the overall design will make it easier to
repair since they're updating the design it's said to be more like that of the iPhone 4 and 4S models
where you can unscrew both of the screws at the bottom and simply slide off the back to service
components inside such as the battery it would make it much easier to change change the battery
out if you needed to maybe after a year and a half you need to replace the battery you could
just swap it much more easily on your own having that option the front screen of course would be
the same hopefully it won't be assembled like the iPhone 4 where you have to take out everything to
get to the display but maybe they'll have it you slide off the back easily remove the front and it
will just be more repairable and long term overall now one bit of news I think a lot of people won't
be happy about is that it's said to have esim options in more countries where they would get rid
of the physical SIM card in a lot of countries we had that last year with the iPhone 14 models and
while it wasn't terrible switching back and forth between models you basically just hit a button in
software and it moves over the SIM card I like the physical SIM card so I can quickly switch to
a different phone apparently they're getting rid of that in more countries this year the
cameras are also expected to get a major upgrade this year especially on the pro Max models where
it's expected to have a periscope zoom lens like we've seen on other manufacturers such as Samsung
so it would be a lens that sort of of sideways with a sensor over here and then it uses mirrors
to give you more zoom range that's something we expect to be upgraded along with maybe a larger
aperture on the main sensor of the camera for the Pro Models allowing more light in also the regular
15 models are said to be getting an upgrade where they would have upgraded 48 megapixel
sensors we don't know that a hundred percent but it makes sense that they would bring last year's
sensors into the current phones this year on the base models additionally imagine boo on Twitter
has shown some new iPhone 15 case clones that are already ready in China with what's probably likely
to be the color options available and the overall design layout showing the action button and more
on the side so we see these every year before the launch of the iPhone 15 since they're well
underway making millions of them getting them ready for the launch it makes sense that we're
starting to see cases roll out already that are made by other manufacturers so that's something
we're already seeing now iPhone 16 is expected to have major camera upgrades with stacked sensor
technology according to Ming Chi quo so we will get an upgrade this year but it will be a major
upgrade next year according to recent leaks apple is also working on an updated iPad Mini according
to shrimp Apple Pro he said he believes there's an iPad Mini 7th gen in the works and that would
replace this current one many people love this size iPad personally it's a little bit too small
for me I prefer the huge iPad 12.9 and I could even go for a larger one maybe 14 inches but I
know people absolutely love this as a notebook something to read notes off of and just use in
everyday use so let me know if you'd like to see a new iPad Mini soon as well but that seems
like that would be for next year apple is also testing M3 chipsets in their Max that could be
for upcoming Mac Mini updates as well as maybe a new iMac we still haven't seen an updated iMac for
some reason and we're waiting to see that so lots of things to look forward to but I can't believe
we're just about a month away or so from IOS 17 and iPhone 15. will you be upgrading to iPhone
15 this year let me know in the comments below I'll link this wallpaper in the description like
