hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this past week was a busy one with all of
the updates and apple invites and more but this current week should be even busier this
is your news update for the week of march 6th 2022 and first before we get started i want to
give you an order of this video in case there's certain things that you're not as interested in
so first we'll cover just the basic news then ios 15.4 release and when to expect that
and then we'll get into the latest developments about max at the apple event and future products
such as macs and more so if you don't want the event spoiled or don't care about future products
yet i'll let you know when we'll get into that now the first thing is apple has set a date of april
11th for employees to return to apple park and offices so within their offices there haven't been
people for the past couple of years and apple is a very collaborative company and would like to have
employees back to make better products and things like that many companies have done this with
the easing of restrictions in the united states including google on april 4th so hopefully things
stay that way and also if you're visiting apple park or other retail places in the united states
many stores have eased their mask restrictions so those are now optional and they've also resumed
today at apple so today at apple is now starting it actually started on the third but it's now
available and things are slowly getting back to how they were before hopefully they stay that way
this week to celebrate international women's day apple has been sending out this email you'll see
it says this week march 7th to 13th and there's new workouts and more in fitness plus so you can
see all about it here and if you go on your apple watch under your workouts you can see some of the
new workouts here so you can try those out if you want and you'll see there's more here time to walk
time to run and more so those are available this week and there's also some new badges as well that
you can earn geekbench is one of those apps i've shown many different times in my videos to give
us a general understanding of what a new processor is capable of but geekbench is also available on
android and they've recently delisted the last four years of samsung flagships from its app
from the s10 to the new s22 ultra this is due to samsung's game optimization service or optimizing
service that is throttling apps but excluding benchmarks meaning they would have higher scores
in the benchmark apps than they would in the real world indicating they've actually changed
this to show that it has better performance than it does when you're using the app now there's a
couple different things that this could indicate it could indicate that they're sort of throttling
this to give better battery life or some other reason maybe heat or more but either way it's
something we weren't aware of and geekbench has delisted them because of this i'm curious what you
think about this in the comments below developers are challenging apple to allow third-party web
browser engines on ios currently if you're using a browser other than safari such as chrome it's
still using webkit and is basically just a skinned version of safari the open web advocacy group is
challenging apple to allow different browser engines and the group says that allowing other
browser engines would allow ios to be a better platform for developing stuff for the modern web
and so that's one reason i often tell people just to use safari unless they need to log in and use
something along the lines of google's apps and things with chrome because it's just a reskinned
version of safari over everything else so apple does not allow them to use their own rendering
engines like they do on mac and other platforms now code within ios 15.4 this past week with
beta 5 was found that indicates in the future you'll be able to switch between dark mode and
light mode on a website by website basis so this is something that will be coming very soon and
you'll be able to switch between those versions so whether on apple.com or maybe google.com or amazon
you can switch between light and dark mode depending on what site you're actually on so
before it was just all or nothing we should see that with future updates now this past week we
had a bunch of updates like we've been having lately with all the betas so developers and
beta testers had the release of 15.4 beta 5. this was a bit of a surprise since many of us expected
the release candidate but we had beta 5 along with ipad versions tv os and homepod versions and then
mac os 12.3 beta 5 and watch os 8.5 beta 5. all of those released and it's a bit of a surprise
but i would expect as soon as tomorrow to have the release candidate typically when apple schedules
an event they'll have a release candidate after that event with a final release later in the week
now this could change maybe we'll see it later today but typically we'll have it on the event
day maybe they'll have a few extra things within the code and then a final release later that
week or the following week apple will typically tell us when to expect the update at the event
so i would expect that pretty soon and of course if you haven't heard about the event well it's
coming very soon actually let's go back here you can go to apple's newsroom scroll up or go to
apple.com and you can see the march 2022 keynote so if you weren't aware of this this is the peak
performance update and you'll see it's in one day and 16 minutes so you'll be able to watch this at
10 a.m pacific time or pacific standard time as well as 1pm eastern time in the united states of
course you'll have to adjust that for your time zone but this will be available on apple.com or
youtube you can stream it there and watch it with all of us as we're watching it as well
so i thought we'd talk about what to expect at the apple event a couple different changes
since the last video i did about it as well as future products and more and so the first
thing is the iphone se third generation now of course we expect it to be the same as the second
generation i've mentioned this before and apple is expected to have 5g in it so it will have to get a
small redesign as far as a 5g antennas and things like that and hopefully a larger battery but some
people have suggested apple could keep the current second generation and lower it to 199
and sort of fit a market that they haven't really aimed to fit before so a lower cost market we
could see something like that or they could get rid of it entirely we don't know yet until the
event but it would be nice to have that option as well also just like last year we're expecting
a new color for the iphone 13 series so we had some new colors this year last year apple gave
us an iphone 12 that was in a purple color this year it said that we could get a green color so we
could get the addition of a green color we haven't really seen one like this at least based off the
color that we think it will be since the iphone 11 pro max so we could get that color as well as an
updated color with the ipad air 5th generation now i've mentioned we should get an update with this
with a new camera and internals but we could also get a purple color so similar to last year's color
the purple iphone 12 we could get a purple ipad air as well as updated internals and an addition
of a front-facing camera that's better that has center stage i would definitely welcome that
feature so we could see that at that event but we'll know as soon as tomorrow now we do expect
a new macbook air with different colors and a full redesign like i've mentioned before but there's
been some different information about the 13-inch macbook pro and whether or not we would see one
so this is the m1 and some people have said we're going to see them just bump the specs internally
but then others such as ming chi kuo have said that we won't see one at all and we'll see
different macs instead so it's possible we'll see some things like this macbook pro or maybe
we won't see it at all and we'll get a better bigger surprise and recently people are saying
that we're going to get what's called a mac studio it's said to be a hybrid of mac mini and mac pro
so maybe this could be the g4 cube style device we've heard about all along that apple's working
on or maybe that's coming a little bit later luke miani and ian's elbow shared what they believe the
mac studio will look like and it seems it's more of a robust and thicker version of the current
mac mini and measures four inches tall instead of the 1.4 inches tall of the current mac mini
so we could see that tomorrow as well as maybe a new chipset inside i've talked about this in
the past we could see that in the 13-inch macbook pro a new m2 chip and it would have an 8-core cpu
for efficiency cores for high performance cores and a 10 core gpu option so we could
see that and it said that apple has been testing this with mac os 12.3 and mac os 13.
so it looks like they're testing it that makes sense if it's going to release very very soon
we should see that maybe tomorrow also we could see a new apple display that's been ready for
some time according to mark german we could see it as soon as the event tomorrow and again it's
rumored to be called mac studio and then the mac studio display so we could see a lower cost
display to the pro display xdr that would offer high resolutions whether 5k we're not really sure
but just be lower cost in general maybe 27 inches instead of the 30 inches plus that we get with the
pro display however apple is also working on a new pro display xdr replacement that has up to a 7k
resolution and apple silicon inside to help with graphics processing so we're expecting
all of that but one of the unexpected things is the new mac pro and imac pro are apparently going
to be a 2023 product according to ming chi kuo or kuoming qi this would be outside of the two-year
refresh of the entire lineup so there's some mixed information about this and i think this
makes it more exciting that we don't really know exactly what apple's planning and maybe they've
done that on purpose to make things more exciting again as we've really kind of known everything
they're going to release before an event apple is also now ordering more mini led displays for
future products later this year and into next year however apple is apparently ordering larger oled
displays for future ipads from samsung as well so maybe apple's just testing the idea of oled
there's advantages to mini led over oled and back and forth oleds have some advantages as
well but it's hard to think that apple's going to completely move away from mini led to oled
i would think they'd go to micro led where they would have sort of the advantages of both so we'll
have to wait and see but that could be a few years away if they do go to oled and finally apple is
working on the apple car still i've mentioned this a few different times but this time around they're
working with assembler foxconn and lux share to get this accomplished between 2025 and 2027. so
they're still working on that as well as software whether or not we see a full-fledged automobile or
maybe just the software for existing manufacturers but either way they're still working on it with
different manufacturers across the supply chain according to digi times and so that's everything
as far as what to expect in the future products that we know about this week as well as apple news
and more if you'd like to see anything different in these videos i'd love to hear from you in the
comments below and would you buy a mac studio or are you waiting for a macbook air are you planning
