Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this past week has been
filled with news about iphone 12 upcoming events
ios 14 beta 7. of course i'll talk about when ios 14 beta 8
or maybe the final version will be out and more in just a moment
now the first thing is we could see an event announcement as soon as tomorrow
now there's some conflicting information on this
from john prosser and mark german so john prosser was saying
earlier that an event could take place or be announced tomorrow
but we could be seeing an apple watch or ipads on the 8th now according to mark
german we may not see any products but rather just an announcement of when the
virtual event will be for the iphone 12 launch along with a
new apple watch and other products as well and so of
course we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what they come out with
but on the 8th it looks like we should at least expect
some sort of announcement from apple regarding maybe an event or
product so hopefully we see both it's hard to say but of course i'll keep you
updated as soon as i know now also love to dream which is a very
reliable source has said there's no apple watch this month either
and that coincides with mark german's statement saying that we won't see the
the actual products this month but rather we'll actually see an event
announcement and then a product launch next month so
that seems more likely and at that event we may finally see air tags
now air tags would be a replacement or maybe an alternative to
for example to tiles which would help you locate
different things it could be a small tag you could place in a backpack on a
keychain or something like that we've heard about this for years and we
may finally see it at this particular event
now when it comes to the iphone 12 it looks like we're going to have
a couple different launch rollouts so for example the first
launch may be the iphone 12 and then maybe the smaller 5.4 inch iphone 12
so maybe the replacement for this iphone 11 along with the smaller iphone 12.
now we don't know this 100 but it's looking like
more and more people are getting information saying this is how it's
going to work so digi times along with mark german are
saying that we're going to see a two-stage iphone launch
so again two 6.1 iphones or according to mark german a 6.1 and 5.4
to begin with and then we'll see the higher end launch
a little bit later so then we'll see maybe the iphone 12 pro
and the 12 pro max launch alongside each other
maybe later in october or maybe even november depending on what apple decides
to do so it seems like that's more likely with
the 6.1 inch and 6.7 inch iphone 12 pro and 12 pro
max so we'll see them either way but it looks
like a staggered roll out like they did with the iphone 10 and 8 plus
now also on the high end the 6.7 inch that's what this size would be or
represents these are just prototype units so you can use them to
make cases but they should be squared off like this
but on the higher end 6.7 inch iphone 12 pro max
apparently it may be the only device to get 5g millimeter wave
now we should see sub six which makes more sense because it's more widely
rolled out but those getting millimeter wave
require more power it's more limited to certain cities for example where i live
near the charlotte area we have it but it's only on a couple
street corners in a couple areas within the city
otherwise you don't get millimeter wave at all so you do get sub six thanks to
companies like t-mobile and others which is much more widely available and
makes sense and probably uses less power than millimeter wave
which is much more of a shorter distance sort of protocol but either way it makes
sense to put that in the larger phone and until it's widely rolled out across
the world maybe launch it full scale next year or something along those lines
now there's an interesting leak saying that all
iphones this year will be the same thinness or 7.4 millimeters thin this is
thanks to everything apple pro and max wineback
saying that all iphones could have the exact same thickness so
maybe they will maybe they won't although that would be pretty
interesting to see the same thickness meaning that the larger phones obviously
would just be scaled up versions and then
they would all feel similarly the same in the hand other than their overall
size so that could be something interesting and different
also this year like i mentioned before we should expect a new blue color to
replace the midnight green we've been hearing this over and over and over from
different sources so it seems like instead of just having
midnight green we would have possibly white space gray or maybe
they'll call it silver along with gold and midnight green so it
just depends on what apple decides to do but hopefully
we do get that blue color i actually would prefer that to midnight green
but i know some people would like them to make all sorts of colors including a
product red variant which i would love to see now mr white
has shared a photo of what he says is the back of an
iphone 12 the back glass although this appears to be a little bit photoshopped
but it basically gives the layout that you see here with a lidar sensor
underneath similar to that of the ipad pro and that
seems to make sense some people were showing
sort of a quad layout for these cameras and it looks like the finalized version
is going to have a small hole here for the lidar sensor
and look basically the same of course we won't know this for sure
until apple actually shows it off but it looks like this is fairly
finalized at least the way it's going to be laid out now the crazy thing is we're
starting to see reports of the next year's iphone the
iphone 13 or 12 s or whatever they'll call it
and it seems like that version is going to have 8k video recording according to
comia on twitter so that makes sense samsung has been implementing that in
their s20 and note 20 ultra line and so apple could come out with an 8k
video recording option as long as it's good that makes sense
but otherwise it seems a little bit unnecessary at this point but either way
it would be nice to have and also digitimes is reporting that
within the camera to make things faster for streaming and
just less latency overall apple in the future will adopt circuit
boards that use liquid crystal polymers for faster image transmission from the
image of the camera through the cpu and everything else so
that it will stream faster so that would be interesting of course
apple would want to make things faster and faster
so it will be interesting to see what the future tech holds but right now it's
a bit early to see exactly what apple's going to be
putting in future iphones but we'll know again sometime next year now
we're currently on a weekly release schedule for ios 14.
this happens as it gets closer and closer to the final release
and it seems like we should have ios 14 beta 8
this week last week on thursday we had ios 14 beta 7 release
and then we should see ios 14 beta 8 release as soon as tomorrow or i guess
they could push it off until thursday things got a little bit changed up with
ios 13.7 release however some people are telling me that
we may not get ios 14 beta 8 and instead get ios 14 gm or golden master
which means that would be the finalized version released to the public
just released to developers earlier so developers would get it about a week
early and then it would release to the public
it seems a bit early for that but there are other people saying that ios 14.1
may be coming out with ios with the iphone 12s
and they would have that updated version for that so they would release ios 14
earlier to everyone else and ios 14.1 when the iphone 12s come out it's
possible they'll do that but it seems a little bit unlikely but again
apple has been changing things up more and more lately
so it's possible we'll see that but it seems like we should at least get a beta
8 based on what we've had in the past ios 12 had 12 betas ios
13 had eight betas and so it's possible we have seven i would be surprised if it
was a gm so what i'm thinking is ios 14 beta 8
this week ios 14 gm the following week with a
final release on the week of the 20th that makes more sense to me i don't have
100 confirmation of that but that's what seems likely to me and
so that's what i'm going to say will happen
again we could see this change now some good news that has been confirmed
for those that use apple watch and have the ecg version of the apple watch if
you're in japan you may be getting ecg very soon as it's been approved by
japan's medical authorities so unlike other things that apple does
many of the medical things or medical sort of measurements that the apple
watch can do have to be approved by the local government in order to implement
them into the watch so it looks like they're going to be
doing that in japan very soon so look for an update for that
so that you can use ecg in japan and maybe some other countries as well so
hopefully we'll see that very soon now at an upcoming event expect a series 6
apple watch of course we've been expecting this for a while
and it looks like it definitely is going to have an o2 sensor or pulse
oximetry sensor built into the back sensor don't expect this to roll out to
current apple watches as it will need a new sensor apparently to do that
but it will give you your o2 saturation levels and then also
supposedly it will have faster wi-fi along with increased performance which
we would expect with a new system on a chip
just like they do regularly now apparently we won't have the force press
where you can press and hold now press and hold works but it's not actually
pressure sensitive anymore so we've seen that go away with iphones
with iphone 11 and probably iphone 12 so unfortunately
they're doing the same to the watch maybe to make it simpler to
manufacture but it seems like it should be coming
very soon now other than an upcoming series 6 apple watch apparently apple's
working on a lower price apple watch to replace the series 3.
maybe they'll call it watch se or apple watch se
or maybe they have a new name for it but apparently they're going to have a less
expensive option and then maybe it will do some of the
same functions but maybe not just have the cellular built in and a few
other sensors so expect something a little bit different i think
coming up now a new ipad air is just around the corner so we should have a
fourth generation ipad air that will look very similar to this 2020
ipad pro so apple will be squaring off all the edges for upcoming versions
and it should look just like this so we should see it along with face id
in upcoming ipads so i think we'll see that and then
also apparently according to kamiya apple's working on a magic keyboard too
similar to this magic keyboard one but with the exception that they're finally
going to add an escape key as well as function keys which would be
great it's really missed as far as brightness and volume it would be easier
to do it from the keyboard and also a forcepress trackpad with
haptic feedback it would be great to see apple update the magic keyboard like
that this keyboard is great i think that
would be ten times better so i would love to see them do that so hopefully
we'll see that pretty soon now also apple is still working on their
silicon max and we should expect one as soon as
a couple months from now in fact the first one may be a 12 inch variant
that would have apple silicon in it and then come out by the end of the year
with an all-new chipset a new gpu and give up to 20 hours of
battery life however there are conflicting reports
that say it may have this butterfly keyboard from the 2016
macbook pro hopefully it doesn't if they do bring it
out hopefully it will be reliable and this one has actually been reliable
for me on the 2016 but people have had a lot of problems
have lost confidence in it and i'm not sure that many people would
welcome it back some people really like it but there's more people that seem to
not like it than they actually do and so reliability i think
as long as they've got that down it would be fine but they really need to
make sure it's very solid but either way i look forward to an
upcoming macbook and i can't wait to see what apple's got with apple silicon
and their hardware now there's information saying that the upcoming
airpod 3 will look very similar to airpods pro just maybe
not feature noise cancellation but have the in-ear style maybe a shorter stem
and we should see that probably early 2021 it looks like
however by the end of this year we could see over-the-ear
air pods i would love to see those airpods studio some people have called
them and they'll have touch controls similar
to that of the airpods pro or at least they'll be motion sensitive like the air
pods are so we should see something like that
and then also they'll have a redesigned ear cup that goes over your ear and i
look really forward to that also apple's
supposedly going to release a smaller homepod
for later this year so we could see an updated homepod
and then also many people are looking forward to a new apple tv
and we should see that as well although that may not be until 2021 it seems like
they keep delaying it i would love to see an updated apple tv i think it's
far past the time we expected it but the remote may have a find my option with a
little speaker in it so that would be ideal i think that would be a great
option i actually like the apple tv remote but
for those that don't at least you'll have find my maybe they'll redesign it
maybe they won't but it's hard to say and so that's all the information this
week again look for an update in a few days or so of course i'll keep
you updated if there's an ios update and as we know more i'll keep you
informed as well be sure to follow me on twitter i also have telegram and discord
