Hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and this past week
just like always there's a bunch of information or a bunch of news that came
out on different things everything from the
iphone 12 event to the mac menu prototype that i have
some more exclusive information on as well as the possibility of an iphone
12 with a pro motion display so hopefully
we see something like that talk more about that in a moment and
then also the ios 14 beta 6 release date so i'll talk
about that and more in just a moment but let's start off
with apple just became the world's first two trillion dollar company last week
that's their stock valuation and i'm no expert in any of that but
they are now a two trillion dollar company that will probably go up and
down like it always does but that's pretty
incredible now the next thing is it was kind of
interesting because over this past week apple accidentally scheduled an event on
september 10th so on september 10th maybe we'll see an
event although this seems kind of early for what we were expecting a few weeks
later with the iphone 12 so apple was supposedly going to delay
that a little bit and maybe we'll have an event earlier
now last week i talked about some saying that we'll have an event specifically
for the apple watch and maybe a new ipad but maybe we'll have an event like that
in a later event for the iphones or maybe we'll just have them all together
but they did schedule an iphone or some sort of event on the 10th
on youtube accidentally and then pulled it back so
it's hard to say what they'll do but i would expect something around that time
at this point now as far as the iphone 12 goes ming
chi quo has said that apple is trying to reduce its cost of
internal components due to the cost of 5g they're trying to
offset that cost now to integrate or implement 5g using
millimeter wave or using sub 6 costs anywhere from 75
dollars to 135 per phone so this would bump the
cost of the phone up just because it has to use qualcomm modems
and the cost of that and integrating or implementing that is quite expensive
so in order to do that they wanted to bring the cost down on maybe some of the
boards with inside make it simpler make it less expensive
to manufacture and that seems to make sense from a
manufacturing standpoint so that wouldn't surprise me at all
now as far as the display on the next iphone well
many want to know will it have a 120 hertz display
i do suspect it will have a notch with face id just like we would expect
however i would love to see a pro motion 120 hertz display
some are saying that they could implement it but it may be a time
constraint and supply constraint where they may not be able to get all the
components in they needed to make millions of phones so i've heard
from multiple sources and other places that have said don't
expect 120 hertz phone but then i've had others say well it's still a possibility
so it seems like it's up in the air john prosser commented on it recently
and also john prosser said that apple's still working on a foldable phone but
the hinge would be fabric instead of maybe a plastic hinge or
what samsung is doing or even what microsoft is doing so instead of having
one display that might be kind of fragile like samsung's displays although
those are pretty impressive you may have two displays similar to
microsoft's duo but they would come so close that it would be
more of a seamless experience but the hinge would be fabric
this was shown in some patents so maybe we'll see that apple's always patenting
new ideas so it wouldn't surprise me if we see something like that
probably within a couple years at this point apple would usually wait until
everyone else gets it sort of right and then they come out with what they think
is the best way to do it now before i talk about ios 14 beta 6 and when to
expect that i want to talk about the mac mini
prototype that was released over this past weekend by dongle book pro
on twitter and if you haven't seen this basically it's a mac mini with an ipod
nano dock in the top and i have some additional information
that's exclusive to share with you about this
and so apparently this was a pet project of tony fidel's
and if you're not familiar with him he helped invent or
kind of work on the first ipod depending on who you ask and what the story is
but this particular project supposedly was his pet project and was supposed to
be ready for wwdc 2005 or at least that's when
steve jobs wanted it ready supposedly the mac and ipod teams were
working together to make this a seamless magical experience
the mac mini was done but there were a lot of problems with the ipod nano and
so it would never see the light of day it got pushed too far back and because
they wanted to release them at the same time
and steve jobs wanted to announce it at the same time they decided to scrap it
all together and you would no longer have the dock
now this could have been better anyway just because
with a dock in there as the dock connector changed or moved position
it may have caused problems in the future but i think the overall idea is
interesting but this apparently was one of the reasons that tony fidel
eventually left apple a fallout between this and
many other things as well but he apparently had this project scrapped and
wasn't happy about it now if that's true that makes sense but
again this is kind of an odd prototype as well so i thought the
whole idea was interesting and thought i'd share that with you
now as far as ios 14 beta 6 i would expect it as soon as tomorrow
now based off ios 12 betas and ios 13 betas
there will be definitely a few more betas at least a couple more
as far as ios 13 we had eight betas and then a gm or golden master
with ios 12 we had more betas than that we actually had 12 betas
and then a gm so as far as this update there could be a lot more but as far as
a release date i would think as soon as tomorrow based on
what you can see here on the left these are all of the dates that apple released
ios 12 and 13 betas and we had seven days between beta 5 and
beta 6 with ios 12 and 9 days between beta 5 and beta 6
with ios 13. so based off that information i would
expect an update between tomorrow and thursday now i would hope
to see it as soon as tomorrow that seems more likely since week to
week it seemed to be on the same days but they could push it as far as
thursday or they could push it to the following week of course apple can do
anything they want with this but just based on what we've seen in the
past i would expect it as soon as tomorrow and hopefully we'll see it
tomorrow and of course i'll do a video on it if
we have that now another interesting prototype that we still haven't seen is
air power a lot of us really were looking forward to this to have a
seamless way to charge not only our iphone
but our apple watch at the same time so you would just set it anywhere on the
map along with your apple watch or your air pods and of
course you wouldn't have this band on here you would just set it on the
air power and then it would charge the device now one of the reasons many
thought that it was canceled was going to be the overall cost not only of
production but also to the consumer so as you can see this particular
prototype here from mr white if this is actually it with all of this
circuitry and all of these coils i believe there's 14 of them
and with all of those coils and circuitry that definitely could be
very costly to produce and maybe just be too expensive to justify selling it to
the public now there were other concerns about heat and things like that but it
could just be cost we'll probably never know the real reason it was canceled
but the device looks pretty interesting and i really wish i could have gotten my
hands on one eventually now apparently ipad air is ready to go
and ready to launch at any time now there were leaks as early as today
saying that the ipad air would even launch today
i haven't seen it yet but the next generation ipad air
most people are saying it won't launch until march 2021
so there's anywhere from now till then from when we'll see it
and that sort of was the case with the imac where we thought it'd come out
months ago and then it finally came out a few weeks ago
and so i would expect an ipad air eventually but the ipad air
is apparently going to have an a14 cpu so if it does have that
i would expect apple to release it at least at the same time as the iphone
with the newer cpus and then apparently it will look similar
to the ipad pro where they're sort of squaring off all the edges
similar to the iphone 12 so it makes sense sort of to unify the lineup
what they look like like they do every so often and that makes a lot of sense i
would expect it to come out sometime around
at least after the iphone 12 or maybe early next year early next year makes
more sense to me but again in these times we just don't know what
apple's going to do and none of that information is confirmed until apple
says it now another leaker as well said that
ipods are still a thing so i thought that's really interesting
apparently ipod touches are going to get the same redesign as iphone 12
again this makes sense and they would ship in the second or third quarter of
next year so there must be a big enough market for
them still where they'll sell them and have probably similar features to an
iphone 12 but without that cellular radio in them so that would be really
great to see especially for those that don't really
need a phone but they just want this overall phone experience and not have a
phone bill along with it now there's a couple more pieces of news
one of them has to do with fortnite and epic is still battling apple and
apparently tried to bargain with apple for a side deal
prior to filing the lawsuit so they were looking for a side deal in getting a
better rate so right now they pay 30 percent if there's in-app purchases
they'll pay those to apple on any of their games and that's typical of
apple and google and they'll charge a fee for that so because of all that
they're still working on it and hopefully we'll see that get resolved at
some point it's not a game i personally play but let me know if you care about
it in the comments below and if you don't i'll just stop
mentioning it but i think it's pretty significant is the way
it may change apple's app store model and maybe google as well since it was
pulled from there now there's some great news as far as your phone and that's
applecare now up until this point you had to buy
applecare within about a month or so of buying your
iphone apple's pushed that back to one year in the united states and
canada so maybe you buy the next iphone 11
or the iphone 12 or whatever phone you want to buy next you have up to a year
to purchase applecare plus on top of that and that protects your
phone not only for another year but lessens the cost if you damage it for
example if you get water damage to it even though it's ip certified
they'll still charge you a deductible of about a hundred dollars if you crack
your screen it's far less than that so it's just an extended warranty and you
can buy that up to a year later if you need it so i think that was really nice
of them to do and i'm glad they have that model now
now the final bit of news has to do with just a simple icon
and while it's not a huge deal apple redesigned the test flight icon
and apparently some people are saying there's going to be new icons with ios
14 beta 6. so maybe we'll see some redesigned icons
like we have with the music app in the previous couple betas and maybe
we'll see that across the os maybe to match mac os big sur or
something else but it would be nice to see a slight refresh
on some of these that's it for this week's news and
as we see more information of course i'll update you next week on that as
well now as far as iphone 12 i really hope we
get that promotion display it's so nice to use 120 hertz display on the ipad pro
for example i would love to see it on an iphone and
i would gladly wait a few weeks if it's a supply chain issue
to get that on my phone so if apple could actually make that happen i'd
really be appreciative of that but if they can't it may not be that exciting
of a year unless there's something else we don't know about
but let me know if you'd wait in the comments below if you'd rather have
promotion and you'd be willing to wait i'd love to hear from you in the
comments below if you'd like to get your hands on this
wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description as i normally do
