Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and yesterday's apple event was one that i've
been looking forward to for a very long time so i wanted to talk a little bit about everything
they announced and also give you my thoughts on the new macbook pro so a lot of different videos
have already been out and so a bunch of you have been asking me what i think of the new macbook pro
but the first thing is apple released the apple cloth the apple cloth is available now
to purchase separately from the pro display xdr and it has a little apple in the corner it's 19
on the apple website and no i didn't order one i have this one from the pro display xdr
it's pretty nice but it's actually not my favorite so it does feel great but it has
kind of a creak to it when you kind of clean a screen you'll see what i mean if you did order one
now as far as things they announced the first thing was apple music and siri they announced a
couple different things as far as playlists and things you can do now with siri but then also
a new siri subscription model so for just 4.99 a month you can now get all of the different apple
music songs and playlists and all of those things but those are now activated with siri only and so
instead of using the visual interface i thought maybe this was a way for accessibility users to
maybe have a cheaper subscription since they're not getting all the visual benefits so it's nice
if you want to use that 4.99 for your devices now apple then announced new homepod mini colors
so instead of just the black and white colors or space gray and white you now have yellow blue and
sort of an orange color as well they look pretty good and will match around the house if you wanted
something that matches a little better other than just neutral tones we then heard about new airpods
apple announced airpods third generation at the event and they looked just like what many people
had said they look like they basically look like an airpod pro if you remove the tip off of the end
of it so if you remove that that's what it looks like it looks just like an airpod pro and has all
of the features of the airpods pro but without noise cancellation and transparency since it
doesn't seal in your ear with the air pod tip you don't need the transparency or noise cancellation
but you get the benefits of spatial audio and it's 179 dollars so it's what you would expect but it
also has better battery life so apple says five minutes of charge will give you an hour of use
and total you'll get six hours of listening time and then if you use the case you'll be able to
charge an additional four times so 30 hours total that's using it in regular situations and that's
pretty good i think before we were getting about four to five hours so an extra hour to two hours
should be pretty nice now the big thing was the mac the 14 inch and 16 inch macbook pro
were finally announced many of us thought this would be available in june at wwdc and there
were production delays due to its display so let's quickly go over all the different things that are
new and then i'll give you my opinion on it now the first thing is the m1 pro they went over the
chipsets for quite some time the m1 pro the m1 max and i keep thinking m1 extreme but maybe that'll
come later it just keeps popping into my head and i keep mistaking the m1 max for the m1 extreme
for some reason i think i saw that somewhere else and the first thing is it's a little bit heavier
this year if you have the 16 inch this is the last generation 16 inch the new one is slightly heavier
4.3 pounds up to 4.7 pounds so before it was 4.3 now it's 4.7 or 2.1 kilograms so it's fairly heavy
but it gains a lot that the other one doesn't have so we finally got those ports that we wanted hdmi
only at 2.0 is what some people are saying as well as thunderbolt 4 ports we have three of those and
we also have an sd card slot along with magsafe so all of those things they kind of reversed what
they did before brought back all of those ports and that should be really great now as far as the
ports are concerned i won't use any of them except the sd card slot however many of my cameras don't
use sd cards anymore they'll use cf express type a or type b depending on the camera so
it's nice to have sd as i do use it from time to time but i mostly use those other ports so either
way i could be with or without that but it's nice to have it either way now they also said that it
has a new display so this is something that you may or may not have seen but there's a notch we'll
talk about that in a moment but the new display is basically the same as the ipad pro display so
it's up to 1600 nits of max brightness with hdr content a thousand nits normal brightness and it
has pro motion so 120 hertz pro motion and it can ramp down to save power as well just like the new
iphone so all of that is included in this year's update now along with that it's 16.2 inches or
14.2 inches depending on which one you get there's no difference in the macbooks both get all of the
displays all of the ports all of the speed you really aren't compromising between either of them
however you do get more battery life up to 21 hours on the 16 inch we have better microphones
better speakers so two woofers with two tweeters with better speakers and then also at 1080p webcam
now the odd thing is they're not using center stage that's on the ipad so you have that on the
ipad mini where if you have your webcam on you can move around and it sort of follows you around same
as the ipad pro but it doesn't get that on the mac maybe it's something they can enable later
but they did say it has a wider field of view and has a bunch of different ai features that make it
look a lot better so that's something that i look forward to but i wish they would have added center
stage maybe it'll come later like i said but then they gave it a notch now the notch isn't something
that personally bothers me but the problem is there's no face id so face id is not in the
notch for some reason and instead we have touch id in the keyboard with full size function keys
so it's nice to have those function keys back i'm someone that didn't really like the touch bar i
never used it i don't like to take my eyes off the screen and then look down what i'm doing and then
look back up constantly i like to just get the work done and look at the display also with those
function keys you can see that the backdrop of the keyboard is black now so it's got this nice dark
look to it i really like the look of it overall and so with that in the notch the notch doesn't
really bother me but i really wish they would have put face id i've used windows hello quite a bit on
the windows side and to have face id integrated into the top of that notch would be great maybe
it's something we'll see in the future maybe it's not but we'll have to wait and see now as far as
those processors are concerned that's something i'm really excited about because i've edit video
all the time and there's multiple encoders on the m1 max that hopefully will speed up my workflow
apple has said the in compressor compressing different footage prores footage can be up to
10 times faster which kind of obsoletes what the 28 core mac pro can do so this is something that
i personally can't wait to try out to see how fast it is and and just get my hands on it now the m1
pro is no slouch either it's plenty fast but the m1 max gets double the the gpus and you've
probably heard a lot about those processors so m1 pro is great m1 max is even better and 32 core gpu
10 core cpu and then multiple different encoders for different things that you do this will be
something i can't wait to just see how it performs with say video exporting and things like that now
the regular m1 still stays around with the 13 inch version of the macbook similar to what's
in the background here it stays around you can still order that and it doesn't get a price
increase the new max go over six thousand dollars if you opt for eight terabytes of storage so you
can really max these things out and they're not for everyone but i do think they'll be great and
i can't wait to try them out now a lot of people are saying when is mac os monterey coming out well
apple has said that it's coming out monday on the 25th so along with that i would expect ios 15.1
watch os 8.1 tv os 15.1 and maybe homepod os 15.1 all of those things i would expect on monday just
based on what we have regularly when they release mac os they typically release everything else so
i would expect that and then also those macbooks do seem to be a different design as well so that's
something i'll have to try they're not as thin as the old ones they gain some thickness
they gain a different design it reminds me more of the macbooks from before the redesign
where they were a little bit thicker more rounded corners some different feet on the bottom i can't
wait to try it either way and it's going to be great to have something that powerful that i can
just use all the time bring it on the on the go come back use it wherever plug it into a display
so i'm really excited for it of course that leaves two more macs left the mac mini pro or mac pro we
haven't seen yet and we haven't seen an updated imac with these new processors as well so they
could be even faster in the next one maybe we'll have two processors maybe dual m1 max or maybe
they'll have an m1 extreme later on we're not sure but we'll have to wait and see when they do come
out with the replacement for those those are the only devices left to completely transition over to
apple silicon so we'll have to see what they have with that now right before this video i did a poll
asking if you want to see this video if you want to see mac os monterey or watch os 8.1 and over
50 of you voted for this video so hopefully if you've stuck around this long you give the video
a like if you enjoyed it if not that's okay you can use the other button as well and also if you
want to see a video about mac os monterey before the final release of course i'll have a video all
about that when it releases to the public let me know in the comments below if you haven't
subscribed already though please subscribe as always thanks for watching i'll see you next time
