hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this past week we had iOS 16 beta 3 updates iOS 15.6 beta 5.
we also had the MacBook Air the newly designed version go up for pre-order we'll talk about
all of that and much more in this week's news update for July 11 2022 and this week apparently
Mac Rumors got their hand on a memo that says that there's going to be a bunch of different
devices that are going to be considered vintage or Legacy according to in a list and this list
includes the early first touch bar Max so that means Max with touch bar from 2016 the 13 inch
the 15 inch as well the MacBook Air 13 inch from early 2015 the MacBook 12 inch from early 2016
the late 2015 IMAX both 21 and 27 inch and then iPad Pro 9.7 inch all of those are going on the
Vintage list apparently by the end of this month if they haven't already so that means they'll
no longer get regular updates it's still still does mean though if there's some major updates
for security they could see those now Apple's newly designed MacBook Air M2 is now available
for pre-order and they were quickly pushed out to August as far as the delivery dates you can see
here as I scroll down August 10th to August 17th is the current delivery dates and if you go in
and configure these or customize them they could be even later so you'll see here if we configure
this maybe to the Top Model here sometimes or earlier sometimes or later it just depends which
configuration and which color however if you're looking to pick one of these up usually Apple will
have a few configurations in the store when they release this coming Friday on the 15th so that's
typically what happens they'll usually have a base configuration and some higher end configurations
if you can find those they may not have the color you're looking for but they usually have at least
a few of them so if you're wanting one of those and you weren't able to pre-order definitely
check out your local Apple Store but you need to do it in the morning now going along with that M2
MacBook Air they also released USBC to magsafe 3 cables in different colors so now you can get
one that matches your device you've got space gray then you've got silver which is pretty
typical then you have midnight and you also have Starlight all of those are available now and
they're each 49 in the United States of course it could vary around the world now iOS 16 beta
3 introduced a new lockdown mode you can find that under settings privacy and security and
at the bottom there's lockdown mode I want to ask you if this is something that you would ever use
as it disables a ton of different features so you can see if you turn it on it disables things with
messages FaceTime web browsing shared albums device connections Apple services and profiles
so this is something that's meant for people that might be at high risk of attack and isn't
really recommended for everyone so I'm curious if this is something that you'll find yourself
using if you would use regularly or maybe just once in a while if maybe you thought that your
device was under threat I'd love to hear your opinion about this in the comments below Apple's
authorized service providers this week were sentimamo stating that Apple's looking into an
issue with the latest iPad Mini that I have here where it may not charge properly after updating
to iPad OS 15.5 I haven't heard from a lot of you stating that this is an issue but I'd love to hear
from you in the comments below if you're finding that you're having this issue this one seems to
be charging okay but since we're so close to iOS 15.6 that update May address the overall problem
with this along with other issues and more so again if you're having that issue I'd love to
hear from you in the comments below if you've been wanting to use apple wallet but maybe your cards
aren't available yet ban contact and also Maestro should be available later this year according to
Belgium's belfius Bank there isn't a specific date yet other than later this year but hopefully we'll
get more and more if you're able to use this it's great to use it for contactless payments and just
super easy to tap your device so those additional cards will be coming very soon today Apple posted
a new weekly update as what's new in Fitness plus there's a new artist Spotlight so if you use this
to work out you have a new artist Spotlight from Prince as well as Katy Perry Daft Punk and Elton
John with some new workouts and more so if we go into one you can see the different workouts here
with all the different music that may be something that you would love to work out to so they
been posting new updates regularly and this is the first time I remember seeing an actual video
for the weekly updates so be sure to check that out I'll link it in the description below also
to go along with Fitness Apple has started its annual Apple watch fitness challenge for those
who work at Apple internal employees can compete for prizes and points and those who earn at least
1 240 points will get a fitness jacket according to Mac Rumors you can see what it looks like here
they were able to obtain a photo and so if you work at Apple and you're able to get this or tell
us more about it we'd love to hear from you in the comments below we've been hearing about different
legislation coming from the US and the EU and other places and apparently the EU has approved
the legislation called the digital markets act and Digital Services act this will regulate
larger companies such as Apple Google and meta and will force Apple to open up iOS and allow easier
use of third-party browsers on installation of default apps and much more it can even force them
to open up iMessage so it looks like the EU is pushing to make a much more open system they did
this some time ago with Windows and they're really pushing and focusing on iOS now now I'm curious to
hear what you think about this apple may have no choice to do this unless they wanted to leave the
European Union which I don't see happening so we could have a very different operating system soon
and maybe that's why we didn't get an overhaul this year with iOS 16. maybe they have to rewrite
everything if they're going to open up certain parts but also keep our privacy intact now a week
or so ago I mentioned that apple is working to get more Sports on Apple TV plus they've got Major
League Baseball they're working to get things such as soccer or football depending on where you live
and they're apparently trying to get American football NFL Sunday Ticket now this is something
that was a bit of a rumor before but apparently has been confirmed by the NFL commissioner who's
looking into it saying they're still deciding and they'll have a decision by the Fall so by the time
football season comes around we could see that on Apple TV plus so that's great we're getting
more and more here and it's pretty reasonable considering it comes with Apple TV plus you can
just get all of your different games live and more so we could see this with NFL very soon now as far
as iOS updates iOS 15.6 beta 5 released last week I would expect the release candidate this week as
soon as maybe Tuesday at this point that seems to make the most amount of sense and of course as you
probably have already heard iOS 16 public beta is out so the public beta is available I have a
separate video or I will have a separate video on how to install that a little bit later but that's
available and anyone that wants to try it out can just make sure you have a backup of your device in
case you're having issues and you need to revert back now of course we're waiting for iOS 16 beta
4 and that's where the public beta and the regular developer beta usually come into sync they'll sync
up have the same versions and then they'll have all the same features at that point typically
that's what happens every year and I wouldn't expect that until the following week once we
get past beta 4 we typically have weekly updates so we could have quite a few by the end of August
where we would have up to Beta 7 or 8 depending on what Apple decides to do with a final version
releasing in mid-september like they normally do so we could see that very very soon with the
public beta syncing with beta 4 and then having them released together now watch OS 9 was rumored
to have a low power mode however it doesn't have it yet but maybe coming in a future update or just
specifically on the Apple Watch series 8. we do have a power Reserve mode that's in our battery
settings so if we need to get through the rest of the day and just tell the time on here we can do
that but we don't have a traditional low power mode like we do on iPhone so we could see that
I'm not sure why it would be exclusive to maybe watch series 8 but maybe it has to do with a new
chipset although that's rumored to have the same chipset so it could be some other reason or maybe
we'll just see it on all watches a little bit later now iPhone 14 models this past week were
rumored to cost up to 100 more due to inflation and Rising production costs this wouldn't be
surprising but Apple has typically eaten these costs and just tried to keep the phone the same
price however it's possible we could see an actual increase this year now third party cases have been
spotted shown online by Duan rui of the upcoming iPhone 14 models and they seem to match up to the
models that I have here that I've shown in other videos where we have the iPhone 14 the iPhone 14
pro the iPhone 14 Max and the iPhone 14 pro Max and it looks like they're going to have similar
camera sizes but they are a little bit bigger than the current iPhone 13 Pro Max but the third-party
cases do kind of reflect what we're seeing here and that makes a lot of sense and also with the
upcoming iPhone 14 models more sources are saying that the regular iPhone 14 and 14 Max models will
have last year's a15 bionic in them where the pro model would be the only ones to get the major
upgrade this year with the a16 bionic this could be due to maybe just Apple trying to differentiate
the models a little more or maybe it's due to a chip shortage we don't really know but that's been
backed up by a couple people now not just Ming Chi quo but also Mark German agreeing with it and it
seems to be what Apple's planning so it could be a very different year this time around for
the upcoming iPhones now in this week's power on newsletter Mark German said that the Apple
Watch series 8 might get a rugged version like we've heard before and that it would be called
the pro version similar to what we have with the iPhones it would replace the Edition versions of
the iPhone and be around a thousand dollars where it would be Pro have a larger display and a larger
battery so it could be a more ruggedized more Sports focused version maybe for mountain climbing
mountain biking extreme sports or just for those that want a nicer more durable watch so we could
see that this fall a recent patent won by Apple shows what a redesigned airpods Max case could
look like the first generation case that I have here is very minimal and doesn't feel very Apple
like as far as its overall design and going with a 500 pair of headphones or more the new case looks
like it would be more of a pouch design with a separator in the middle and a magnetic clasp so
that makes a lot of sense that they could redesign it make it a little bit nicer although it could be
a lot more bulky but maybe they found a way to fold up the Next Generation a little bit more
Apple was also recently granted a patent for airpods safety with this new safety feature it
would use the airpods microphone to alert you of things nearby that could be dangerous or hazardous
meaning maybe you're walking down a busy street it would lower the volume of the airpod closer to
the street to let you hear some of that traffic to make sure that you're aware that it's there
so there's many more examples of what they could do with this of course it'll probably be optional
and you could just turn it off if you wanted to but it's a nice idea that you could actually
use this in a busy City scenario where maybe there's an emergency going on maybe you're on
a plane you need to hear the announcements it would automatically lower the volume and take
care of that for you let me know what you think of that though in the comments below recently there's
been a lot of news about Apple making an AR and VR headset and we're hearing even more and more
about the second generation even though we haven't seen the first generation yet apparently they're
working on the second generation with Samsung as far as its displays and according to Ming Chi
quo there will be two options for the set second generation a more expensive and a cheaper option
that would fall in line with what Apple's done on every product it has from the iPhone to the Apple
watch to the iPad in Mac so having two versions of it doesn't seem odd to me but I do think we
need to see that first generation soon given that we're hearing so much about the second generation
I would assume Apple's going to show it sometime later this year but again you just never really
know it's rumored to come out sometime around January or at least get our first Glimpse around
January of 2023 and so that's everything for the news this past week iOS 16 public beta is pretty
exciting for those of you that have been waiting to try it out and of course be sure to check out
all the different videos I have featuring all of the different features within iOS 16. if you have
any additional questions or comments I'd love to hear from you in the comments below and of
