Hi, everyone. Aaron here for Zollotech and this past week was filled news.
About everything from apple watch to iPhone 13 iOS
releases and much more. This is your news update for the week of August 1st,
2021. And the first thing has to do with apple. Watch.
The titanium version.
The titanium edition version I'm actually wearing right now is no longer in
stock in many.
Stores across the country.
So it looks like maybe Apple's discontinuing this or getting ready for a newer
version. I'll talk a little bit more about that in a little while,
but the next thing is apple maps is being tested and updated in Italy.
Now the new version of apple maps,
where they're showing different sorts of interactions and different landmarks
and more is apparently being tested in Italy.
So they're adding more and more cities.
Hopefully they'll add all major cities in the future.
Also apple is now accepting UPI RuPay cards and net banking for
app store payments in India. So quite a few people have messaged me about this,
and it's now available in India. So you can now use more with your apple wallet.
So it's great to see that also one video I didn't do this past week has to do
with apple watch, where they released watch west 7.6 0.1 last Thursday.
And the only reason I didn't do one is because there's just a small security
update. It's a major security update in the sense that you should update,
but it's just one change. So I would generally recommend update it,
but it wasn't worth doing a video just for one small security change on an apple
watch.
So there's that now also there was an update with garage band where you can
now buy different music tracks from different artists.
So if we go into garage band,
there's a sound library and you can see there's different music from lady Gaga,
for example, and many others.
So you have the option to maybe try some of this music.
You can get that music and use it in your apple music tracks or try it out.
So you'll be able to explore how they're recorded. You can remix them in more.
So that's something new in garage band this past week also to do with apps.
Google maps finally gets a widget. Now I think I have it here. You'll see,
I have Google maps. It's a new widget where you can just go home work,
find local restaurants, gas, and more. And it's really nice.
It opens quickly and works well. Finally, we have a widget for that.
If you don't want to just use apple maps. Now,
also apple has said that if you have an air tag,
so maybe you have one of the new air tags and you want to replace the battery.
You do that by pushing down and turning counter-clockwise or anti-clockwise,
you'll see, it has a battery in here. This is a CR 2032 battery.
And apple has said,
do not replace this battery with a battery that has a bitter coating on it.
The bitter coating is generally used to prevent children from swallowing them as
it's not very tasty and you don't want to put it in your mouth.
And so they've said,
don't use that as that coding can cause a problem for the context in the air
tag.
So they just wanted people to know you probably shouldn't use those batteries.
And if you're having a problem.
That's why over the past week, apple had its earnings.
Call where it talks about how much money they made.
And they also talk about sales of iPhones and more, however,
they no longer report specific numbers on what they've sold,
but they did say it was the largest Q3 or third quarter upgrade quarter ever and
brought in $39.6 billion, but they don't report actual numbers,
but it makes a lot of sense since we've had a rounded off design since the
previous phone, the 11 pro max, all the way back to the iPhone six.
Now we have a new design or maybe an old new design where it's squared off and
a lot of people upgraded. So that makes a lot of sense. We have a newer design,
a lot of people upgraded when they went from the five 5s to the six.
So it makes sense to see a huge update now, and during the same call,
people were concerned about supply constraints with the upcoming iPhone 13,
maybe not being in stock.
So if the iPhone 13 had supply issues,
apple was saying that they really aren't concerned about it while they did have
some issues this year with supply constraints. Tim did state specifically that,
as I said before,
the latest nodes that's the products or the items that go in the products such
as the processor,
which we used in several of our products have not been as much of an issue.
The legacy nodes are where the supply constraints have been on Silicon.
So legacy nodes could be Intel processors and other Macs,
or it could be older processors in iPhones that they still sell.
But they're saying that current supply should be okay,
even though a lot of people have been reporting this,
that they're going to be in short supply every year,
we hear that the next iPhone will be in short supply.
So I expect them to sell out quickly,
but then they'll have plenty throughout the holiday season based on what they're
saying. So hopefully we'll see more than enough to go around. Now,
as far as iOS 15 betas, people have been asking me today. When is iOS 15,
beta five coming out? Well,
based on what we've seen in the past few beta versions, iOS 14,
iOS 13, we may not see an update for another week. However,
for some reason I was thinking we'd have one this week.
If we do expect it on Tuesday or Wednesday on the third or fourth,
but based on iOS 14,
beta 4 going to beta 5 and iOS 13 beta 4 going to 5,
we had about a two week cycle there from August 4th to August 18th.
And July 17th to July 29th.
With iOS 13 betas.
So we could have another week to wait and then we'll see betas every week after
that apple has changed this every year. You can see July,
they had a bunch of betas. Then they switched to August.
We could see this again, where they just changed to this week.
So we'll have to wait and see. We could see it as soon as tomorrow.
Hopefully we do, if not,
it'll be another week or so where they want to button things down and get it
more and more stable. So it's really hard to say specifically,
but it looks like we will have that update very soon, either way.
So we may just have to wait an extra week. Now when it comes to iPhone,
apple stores have finally updated their docks where they're displaying the
iPhones according to nine to five Mac.
And I haven't gotten to a local apple store recently,
but they posted pictures where they're using a new MagSafe style doc to hold up
the latest iPhones. This makes a lot of sense before this,
it was just plugged into a lightening dock and it needed to be updated now that
we have magsafe. So it has a new, more clean style to it overall.
And I think it's a nice change. It's always great to see these again,
I haven't been able to make it to an apple store myself, but if I do,
I'll take a look at it. Now, when it comes to the iPhone 13 design,
it looks like they're going to look like what I'm holding here.
The iPhone 12 and 12 many will have a horizontal layout of the camera.
Although the,
the camera bump overall will look differently than what I have here.
As these are just sort of models of what they could look like.
And the camera layout will be a little bit thicker and have larger sensors.
That seems to be pretty definite. At this point, we will get a smaller notch.
It seems as well where it will be narrower, not necessarily vertically shrunk,
but horizontally shrunk and provide face ID as well.
So touch ID doesn't seem like a likely thing,
although I would definitely welcome that.
Also we should have 120 Hertz display on the pro displays.
It seems like all of these things are locked in since they're manufacturing them
now.
And we could even have more Ram, although we haven't.
Really heard anything about that,
just that we'll have an ACA 15 CPU with upgraded cameras and an upgraded
display with a slightly different layout of the cameras.
I would love to see titanium in the latest versions,
but that may not be coming until the next iPhone, iPhone 14.
So we'll have to wait and see. And then even on top of that,
apparently TSMC is apparently getting ready to manufacture two nanometer chips
for 2024 that will add power savings and also reduce the size.
So you could add a larger battery. So maybe in a couple of years,
we'll see huge batteries with very small chips and additional power savings.
I would love to see that it makes a lot of sense. And additionally,
apple is still working on an iPhone fold. According to mark Gurman,
we've seen patents for this as well,
where we would have a full the iPhone and apple is not generally first.
to any of these technologies,
they wait to see what everyone else does and then makes the best of what they
think it should be. According to mark Gurman,
he believes it's two to three years away to have a folding iPhone.
So they're never first in the category, but generally tend to be the best,
depending on your opinion. Of course of that. Now,
according to Mac Otakara the upcoming iPad air five or fifth gen will
look just like the air for that.
I'm holding here with one exception that it will use a similar camera layout to
the iPad pro. So instead of having just one camera,
it would have multiple cameras like the pro, but without the LIDAR sensor.
So we would add an ultra-wide to the regular camera.
I suppose they could do this. It seems fairly likely,
but it looks like the iPad pad air five will only get that with maybe a CPU
bump, maybe an A15 processor. So whether or not we see that right away,
some people are saying, we'll see that as soon as this year, we may not.
However,
they're also stating that the iPad mini will not look like the iPad air,
but will rather look like the current iPad mini,
but with smaller bezels and no more home button. So it's,
we're getting some competing reports here at this point.
And then you have Ross young who's stating that the iPad mini will have a newer
design and remove that home button and have a bigger display 7.9 inches.
To 8.3 inches. So we're getting competing information.
That it looks like maybe apple is trying to confuse some people,
which I always welcome surprises when it comes to upcoming products. Now,
when it comes to AirPods three, mark Gurman is saying to expect them this fall.
So along with the iPhone launch, we should see the new AirPods three.
And we pretty much know what they look like at this point,
but we still have to wait until they release to know a hundred percent.
There's been a lot of replicas or fake versions out there.
And it seems like the look very much like AirPods pro without the tip on them.
So we'll have to wait and see, of course they won't have noise cancellation,
but they may have some additional features, some better sound, maybe Dolby,
Dolby, Atmos, and those sorts of things.
So hopefully they'll have some additional features, but again,
we'll have to wait and see,
but we've been waiting for these AirPods three for a very long time.
And it makes sense that we'll see them very soon. Now.
When it comes to Mac, apple is still on track.
To release the new Mac book pro this fall or this autumn again,
sometime between September and November. According to mark,
Gurman a 14 inch and 16 inch variant with an M Onex CPU.
According to mark Gurman is still on track.
And today new Macs and.
Two new apple watches were seen in the Eurasian regulatory filings and found
by a French site called console Mac.
So it looks like they're getting ready to release these generally when they're
found in this Eurasian database, we'll see them within a month or so.
So maybe we'll see them sooner than we thought. Also.
Mark Gurman believes that apple will release.
A higher end Mac mini and iMac before the end of the year with the Mac pro
or redone Mac pros coming later in next year.
So we still have that two-year timeline that apple gave for the new Macs.
And it looks like they may barely meet that,
but we should see a high end Mac mini,
a new iMac that's larger as well as that Mac pro.
Now the odd thing is a new Mac pro may be coming very soon as soon as next year
with an Intel CPU and then have a separate one with an M1based
CPU or apple silicon-based CPU. That's closer to what we had with a G4 cube.
So maybe that's the Mac mini, maybe it's something different.
We don't really know,
but it looks like that's still in the works mark Gurman it says to expect those
by the end of the year with the Mac pro next year.
Now finally people have been asking me,
when is the apple event last year was a little bit different than the year
before that. And so it's a little hard to pin down the exact date,
but you can count on early September. So in 2019,
we had the announcement of the iPhone 11 pro iPhone 11 apple watch series five.
And that was on September 10th, 2019.
So generally within the first two weeks of September, then.
The following year, last year we had.
Events.
We had one on September 15th where they introduced the series six apple watch,
apple watch S E apple fitness plus the iPad air and apple one.
So that was on September 15th of last year.
And then we had the iPhone event in October on October 13th.
So it was very different last year than we had the prior year.
If apple keeps everything together this year, which is expected,
we would expect within the first two weeks of September, I would say probably,
maybe even on the 13th to correlate with the time of the iPhone 13,
but it could be something different. So within the first couple of weeks,
we should expect an event. I do expect other events,
maybe for the Mac book to be separate and maybe some other surprises,
but I definitely expect something in the first two weeks of September based off
the previous years, that's not too far away.
And I can't wait to see what apple has.
I'm looking most forward to the Mac books since I added all the time.
The M one Mac book pro that I have here is crazy fast along with the iMac and
the MacBook pro will most likely become my number one editing machine.
So I can't wait to see what they have with the 14 and 16 inch as well as of
course, iOS 15 and iPhone 13,
which are just about a month and a half away based on those dates.
So we could have new iPhones in just over a month, which seems kind of crazy,
but it could be two months if they have an October event again this year.
So we'll have to wait and see,
let me know what you're most excited for in the comments below.
