Hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and this past week has been packed full of
news and so let's go over what we missed this past
week up till today and the first thing is Phil Schiller is
stepping down as head of marketing he's been in charge
of marketing for a very long time he's done a fantastic
job but now Greg Joswiak is taking over or Joz as they call him
and so he'll be taking over and phil schiller will become an apple fellow
basically an alumni that can i think have some input into some of the
marketing and help the transition if they haven't already
Joz has been working on this for quite some time i think and
phil has probably been helping him from some time anyway
the next thing is Tim Cook is now well a billionaire according to apple stock so
he's now worth over a billion dollars whether or not he
takes any of that out is up to him of course but technically he
has that much money at this point now as far as ios 14 while ios 14 and
mac os big sur have a great new security feature built in
called domain bound sms codes for two-factor authentication
so maybe you're in an application or a website for example
say apple.com and you want to sign in and it says
i need to text you a code well that text code will be tied back to apple.com so
that it will only input automatically as long as it
recognizes it's the correct website it's just an
extra layer of security to prevent against things such as
malicious attacks and just to keep it a little bit more
private so i'm glad they're doing that it's great to see those additional
features now apple news also has a new feature
within ios 14 and that is a new feature called open
web links in news so no longer do you need to leave apple
news to read a web link it will actually do it right from within the news app
and you can just read it here instead of going back to say safari to do that or
whatever your default browser is of course like you saw here it's a a
setting so you can turn it on or off it's on by default it looks like
but you can turn it off if you'd like now like i said last week iphone 12 will
be delayed a few weeks according to apple
but it looks like foxconn who produces the iphone for apple
is ramping up their hiring for iphone production so
what that means is basically it's finalized of course the cameras probably
won't look like this but we've got our finalized sizes our
finalized oled displays and it looks like they're going to ramp
up production and have millions ready by the time they're ready to launch
just like normal but that always takes time and speaking of iphone 12
production it looks like the iphone 12 display has been leaked at least one of
them it could be any specific size we don't
know but it looks like it's an oled it's also appearing to have the same
notch that we have now on all the iphones
so that's what made me a little suspect is we thought the notch was supposed to
be a little bit smaller but maybe it's the same on certain models and not all
since this is just one front display that was leaked by mr white
now ming chi quo says the iphone 12 lens supplier for the cameras here
is apparently having some issues with low yields meaning that they're not
getting the quality or maybe they're cracking
and they don't really meet up or match up to what apple would expect from the
lens that goes over the camera quo says that it's not going to delay
the actual production of iphone 12 because there's other suppliers that
apple can fall back on until they get things moved up but again
this sort of hints at apple doing a two-step rollout of the iphones maybe
the lower-end iphone 12s and then the higher-end pro models later
on so it means they'd start rolling them out and then maybe a few
weeks later we'd be able to purchase the pro and pro max model so
that wouldn't surprise me again i mentioned that before and we saw that
with the iphone 8 8 plus and iphone 10 rollouts the 8 and
8 plus came first and then the 10. now also with the
iphone 12 or just iphone in general apparently it
looks like wechat may be banned eventually in the united states
if that actually happens that could affect production incredibly throughout
the world meaning that if you can't use wechat which is
heavily used in china well the phones may not sell as well so
it could hurt up to 30 percent of sales according to
ming chi quo but it's hard to say if that will
actually happen of course that's i think 60 or 90 days out but if it is banned it
definitely could affect sales in the future of iphones
and then finally here's some interesting photos that was leaked by everything
apple pro on twitter and you can see that the next iphone may
have a ring of magnets inside and that may help it to be aligned to a wireless
charging pad so you would put it down it would help
align it and then it would charge and so it looks like it was not only
built into the back of the phones but also
a case that apple's going to sell to help it better align so that makes a lot
of sense if they're going to release their own charger
with a ring of magnets inside to help it snap in place and charge
maybe that's the problem they were having with air power and then
they wouldn't have the alignment problem by using magnets and it would just snap
into place that seems like a reasonable way to
figure out that problem they were having and secure your device to any charger
too so it doesn't just slide off now there's some interesting patents
that leaked showing some convex displays on an iphone basically apple is
exploring making the display convex so it slopes up and away from the phone
and maybe could be a ring of glass around the whole device now again this
is apple exploring different possibilities and so we may see
something like this in the future and it would be really interesting to see that
but we're never sure if apple's actually going to produce it
it's just interesting to see that they're working on things like this
based off their patents now a bad piece of news if you're an xbox fan is
project xcloud will not be coming to the phone now if you're not familiar with
this this is basically a way to stream games to your phone and play them with
an xbox controller on your device the samsung note 10 can do this and will
be one of the first devices to be able to do that
and unfortunately due to apple's policy on the app store they're not going to
allow it so basically what they would have to do is
allow the app and then approve every app within that app and apple just
isn't willing to do that and neither is microsoft at this point so
it looks like that's going to have to wait hopefully they can work it out and
we'll have something like that in the future but right now
that's not going to be possible now on iphone there's another interesting thing
if you're using ios 13 or 14 and that is in japan you now have
look around so let's go into maps and if you go into tokyo japan
this is available in tokyo osaka kyoto and nagoya
and if we go in here maybe we'll go to this point right here
if you have these binoculars you can look around so you tap on look around
we'll expand this and now you can look around the city so
this is available in certain cities in the united states and now it's available
in other cities within japan so hopefully it comes to more places
throughout the world it's great to see this
and you can see you just move move through it like you're driving it's nice
and smooth and so it's nice to see that added now
in regards to ios 14 beta 5 i know a lot of people want to
know when that's coming out and based on what apple has done before
you can see all of the dates here it probably will be next week if they
continue to do what they did with ios 12 and ios 13.
now there's no guarantee of this apple could change it they could release it
in a few minutes if they want to but based on what they've done before
we'll probably see it next week but if it's this week of course i'll keep you
updated along with any updates that come out for
say apple watch and speaking of apple watch it looks
like apple watch is eventually going to go to
micro led i thought it'd be already at micro led this coming year
it may take three to four years for that to actually materialize
so apple is planning to bring micro led to their macbooks
and also their iphones but for now it will have to wait on the watch at least
a few years now with the macbook air there's another
image of a battery for an upcoming macbook air going through certifications
again and what this could be for is for an
apple silicon based macbook later this year would be great
to see apple's new hardware running on a new macbook air
with a new battery that would last all day so this is just another image of
those batteries and then also last tuesday apple
released a new imac with 10 core cpus a nano coated display option
for anti-reflectivity and also you can still upgrade the ram easily by yourself
on the 27-inch model for those of you waiting for maybe a new
apple silicon based imac well here's what they could look like
according to daniel batista who made some imac concepts i think it's
great looking i would love to see an imac that looks like this
and hopefully we'll see that in the future but if you really don't need a
new imac and you want to see what the next one looks like
it may be a couple years but hopefully we'll have a thinner one running apple
silicon hardware and it will just be thinner like that
ipad that we currently have with the ipad pro and that's what the next
rumored one is supposed to look like so i think it would be great to see that
sort of concept now finally apple released a new 30 watt power adapter for
49 why they released it it has a new build
number i'm not sure but it's a new build it's a new part and it's available now
if you'd like to get your hands on it and you want to fast charge your iphone
your ipad and you can even use it to charge a mac if you need it and that's
it for this week not a ton new but there's some interesting news about
iphone 12 and all the references that i've talked
about will be listed in the description if you'd like to see where i got them
from and again if you'd like to get your
hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description like i normally do
