Hi, everyone. Aaron here for Zollotech.
And this is your weekly news update for the week of January 10th, 2021.
And this past week had a lot of information about products we may see very soon,
but the first thing I wanted to talk about is that a fixed should be incoming
very soon for the M one Mac book series. So not only the one Mac book,
air MacBook pro that I have here, but also the Mac mini.
So some people are having issues with Bluetooth also on iOS as well,
but there should be an update for MacOS coming very soon to address this
problem, according to a developer. And so we should see this,
it seems sort of inevitable at this time,
but it seems like Apple may have acknowledged it.
And so we should see that soon along with other updates,
I'll talk about in a little bit. Now, the next thing has to do with AirPods.
We've been waiting for some updated AirPods pro and according to Mac Otakara,
if I'm saying that properly AirPods pro may see a new launch in
April, 2021 with a slight redesign.
So we know we might get some redesigned ones,
some AirPods pro-life maybe without the noise cancellation.
And apparently they're going to have a smaller case and may be a little bit
smaller and overall dimension and what advantage that would have.
I'm not really sure. I've never really thought that the case was a problem,
but we may see something new with that smaller case. Now, last week,
I mentioned how we might get an iPhone se plus in later 20,
21 or later this year.
And according to the same source Mac Otakara apparently iPhone
S E third generation,
instead of the plus may launch alongside the new AirPods and some other products
I'll talk about in a moment. So instead of being rounded like that phone,
it would be more consistent with the iPhone 12 models where it has a squared off
edge, for example. So maybe something like that,
the iPhone se is purportedly supposed to have more of a touch ID
based display or, or fingerprint sensor on the side,
according to what we heard last week. So maybe they'll do something like that.
I know a lot of people would welcome that,
but it seems like it might eat into an iPhone 12 series lineup,
but we'll have to wait and see, but we should know with in a few months,
by April,
according to these and this bit of information and what we're seeing from Mac
Otakara now from the same source, we're hearing that the next iPhone,
the iPhone 13 may have a smaller notch.
So where a lot of people really dislike the notch. Personally,
it's never been an issue for me,
but apparently Apple has been able to sort of minimize this,
the actual sensors and make it smaller. Now, some are saying,
we're going to see it smaller this way.
Some are saying we're going to see it smaller this way.
I think from the top to bottom being a little bit shorter would make more sense.
You could sort of fit it closer to the bezel and in the future may be eliminated
altogether. So maybe we'll see that in the future. I really hope so,
just because it would make a really great display if it was just symmetrical all
the way around, but hopefully we'll see that along with, of course,
like I said before, 120 Hertz display.
And then also the other information about it is that the iPhone 13,
instead of having this huge camera bump like we have here,
which is probably difficult to manufacture and has three different lenses may
have something a little bit different.
So where I've showed this sort of prototype over and over and over for the
iPhone 12, which turned out not to be correct,
instead of having a four camera bump, we would retain a three camera bump.
So let's move this out of here.
And instead have something that more closely resembles this sort of camera style
where there'd be three,
but with a single sheet of glass like we have on the pixel or the iPad.
So the iPad also has the sort of lens layout. Let me show you that.
And I'm the iPad pro you would have a single sheet.
So instead of having a bunch of protruding lenses,
that would be under a single sheet of Sapphire, according to this information.
So hopefully we'll see something more like that.
It would be nicer to have it a one single sheet of high quality Sapphire.
And hopefully we'll see something like that in the future,
but we'll have to wait and see of course until September to know that for sure,
but this camera bump on the iPhone 12 pro max is huge and it's probably
difficult to manufacturer. So simplifying, it seems to make sense. Now,
the reason I have this iPhone 5s here is Apple actually pushed out an update to
it today. And it was for iOS 12.5 0.1. That's a security update.
They don't specify anything there and also has updates to exposure
notifications, but it covers everything from the 5s to the six,
six plus the iPod touches,
sixth generation iPad Air original iPad,
mini two and three. And so those are all covered in that update.
Apple keeps pushing those updates.
And the reason I bring that up is Apple will probably push out iOS 14.3
0.1, as soon as tomorrow.
Now it's possible they could push it out tonight since they've been doing sort
of random releases at this point,
but more likely I think would be tomorrow probably would that same bug fix
security patches,
and more hopefully fixes for the green tin issue and maybe other fixes as
well. Along with that Mac update, I talked about just a moment ago.
So all of those things I would expect to be fixed,
maybe some changes to the yellow coloring on the iPhone.
Although I think that tends to just mean it's more accurate, however,
we'll have to wait and see. So of course, as soon as that comes out,
I'll make a video and keep you informed about that. Now,
along with iOS 14.3 0.1,
Apple could also release iOS 14.4 beta two.
We haven't had a beta in some time as well,
and I would expect the public release to come first,
at least based on what they've done in the past.
So maybe we'll see that on the 12th tomorrow, if we don't see it later today,
but on the 12th expect that if we don't see it and then maybe a beta the
following day, sometimes they release them on the same day,
but it's fairly rare, but either way expect updates this week,
by at least two updates, if you're using iPhones.
So basically a public release beta release,
and then you'll be able to update your phones. And of course,
I'll keep you updated with whatever's contained within those along with security
updates and more now also people are saying that the Apple watch a series
six and Apple watch S E may give incorrect altitude readings in
unusual weather conditions.
This was mentioned by iPhone ticker dot D E.
And if that's true,
I would expect a watch a last update as well to sort of address these issues.
There could be some issues with watchOS S seven at this point.
So maybe we'll see 7.3 or maybe 7.2 0.1 or something along those lines.
I would expect that now Apple continues to work on Apple glasses.
And there's been even more information about this. According to minchi quo.
I mentioned before that they would announce some sort of augmented reality
device this year.
And what that would be is basically it uses the camera to overlay different
things, but in glasses,
this could be particularly helpful with directions and things like that.
But according to Mark Gurman, the glasses are in the works,
but would show up at 2023 at the earliest.
So he's a fairly reliable source. And based on him,
we may see glasses as soon as 2023, as far as the release.
Now Apple could show them a little bit earlier for developers,
but normally not this early.
So maybe we'll see some augmented reality devices this year. Maybe we won't,
but I would expect at least some Apple glasses within a couple of years at this
point. Now the big news this week was about iPads.
There's a lot of information about iPads, things we haven't heard before.
So we know that Apple is planning to transition their iPad pros to mini led and
then eventually other displays as well.
So did you time said to expect many led Mac books in 2022?
So we're expecting basically everything to transition to mini LED and CES
is going on right now and they're showing many led displays.
So this makes sense. It's the next move in displays.
And then we'll eventually get to micro led.
So with the iPad pro going to mini led, it might be slightly thicker,
but it's not expected to get a redesign in any way.
It should have the same sort of bezels,
the same sort of edge here that we have now and have USB-C,
however, the least expensive iPad,
which is usually about $329 to start.
We'll feature a thinner and lighter design keeping touch ID and lightening,
according to again, Mac Otakara.
So that particular source is saying they're sort of in the supply chain and
they're seeing what's being made at this point saying that it's coming in a few
months here, along with the iPad pro and the lower-cost iPad.
They also said that we'll see a new iPad mini that will bump the display size up
to about 8.4 inches instead of 7.9.
So it wouldn't get a major redesign other than maybe thinner bezels due to the
larger display. And those are all expected in the March to April timeframe,
which makes a lot of sense that sort of what we saw last year with those
releases. So look forward to those, of course,
Apple releases and updates their iPads with new processors and everything else.
And the iPad pro may get that new M1 equivalent processor.
So that should be really interesting.
Now it would be really interesting to see an M1 style processor that sort of
speed and power in an iPad,
but apparently Apple has patented a way to wirelessly charge your devices
on the Palm rest of the Mac book.
So here's an M1 Mac book pro maybe you could charge here or here,
according to patently Apple,
they found a patent from Apple describing just that you would take your iPhone,
maybe set it down here and it would wirelessly charge.
I don't know how convenient that would be for everyone since you've got
different wireless chargers,
but it's an idea in Apple's always working and looking into new ideas.
So that should be pretty interesting if they do that. Now,
the Apple car is still in the works and many people have been reporting about
this. Some have good sources, some don't, but according to Korea,
it news Apple is apparently working with Honda to help produce a car
and expects to have a deal signed.
As soon as March to begin production in 2024.
Now all the insides of this deal are hard to say, but from Korea,
it news Hyundai is a Korean company.
So it makes sense that they might have a little bit more information and then
Apple could work with them to manufacture it to their specs,
just like they work with Samsung to manufacturer displays to their specs.
So the same sort of thing. Hyundai has a lot of cars, a lot of experience,
not only in vehicles, but also, uh,
construction equipment and more so they could definitely do it.
They probably have the scale to do it,
but it would be really interesting to see that, but don't expect that until,
I guess a lot of people are saying late 2020s or so, or late 20,
28 to be out to the public in masses, but apparently production in 2024.
So we'll have to wait and see. Now finally, when it comes to the AirPods max,
there's something that I actually like a lot,
but some people are reporting a lot of condensation inside. Now,
I haven't seen this yet. I tried wearing these for a few hours today,
and some people are seeing condensation inside this ear cup here.
Now most headphones, headphones do not have removable ear cups.
And you wouldn't be able to see this necessarily those that do,
of course you'd have to look.
I've never noticed it on any headphones that I've had,
but apparently Apple is having this issue with some people on some of their
headphones. So I would like to see if this becomes more of a, a problem,
or if it's just something that's normal on regular headphones.
And if you have headphones that aren't AirPods and you've experienced this over
the ear headphones,
I'd love to hear from you below as I'm not really sure I haven't had these do
that to me yet,
but I'll continue to use them and check every time I use them just out of
curiosity. So that's it for the news this week, of course,
I'm looking forward to iOS 14.3 0.1 and iOS 14.4 beta two,
which I would expect again, if we don't see it tomorrow,
maybe we'll see the public release tomorrow in a beta the following day.
So I would expect that sort of release to come out fairly soon. Again,
we could see it after this video because Apple is sort of been all over the
place with their releases, but look for that. And of course,
I'll keep you updated on Twitter and everything else.
I'm also on discord and telegram as well. If you want to check it out there,
if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper,
of course I'll link it in the description like I normally do.
