Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and a couple days ago apple announced
their spring apple event the first event of the season or the first event of 2021
and so i wanted to talk about where to watch it when to watch it and also what to expect
and more since many of you are asking me to make this video and the first thing is if you
go to apple's website and go to their event page you'll see it tells you the actual event time and
gives you a little bit more information about it so you can add it to your calendar and it
says watch it on april 20th at 10 a.m pacific time now if you're not sure when that is based on where
you're located you can go to youtube and go to the apple channel and it will actually adjust to
where you're located so here it's 1 pm eastern time for me and this will adjust according to
where you're located and give you the correct date so it's based off california's time since
that's where apple's located i'm on the east coast of the united states so it will be 1 pm for me
and as you can see you can watch it on youtube you can watch it on apple.com you can also watch it on
an apple tv on their events app so you'll be able to watch it there or on tv plus and they usually
add it there as well so you'll be able to watch it on any device the easiest way is youtube if
you're on windows for example or you just you can just go to apple.com when it's available now if
you're on the apple event page and you tap on the apple you'll get a little augmented reality spiral
and if we tap on object tap on this again tap on object you can see it spiral and this gives
us some hints as what to expect every time apple puts on a new event the little spiral logo gives
us a hint it's called spring loaded and this will just continue but what that logo shows us is a few
things to expect such as different colors maybe some macs and more but the first thing that's
very obvious that the supply chain has confirmed and many different reliable sources have confirmed
is that we should expect a new ipad pro last year they introduced this ipad pro the 12.9
nine inch ipad pro and it's got a really nice form factor it wasn't too different than before
but it did add lidar to the back of it so we have dual cameras with lidar that was a big improvement
with a new processor for example so we can expect improvements to that additional to what we have
now as well as a new processor inside now the new processor is said to be equivalent to what's in
the m1 macbook pro and macbook air but maybe it will have a different name maybe it will be m1
it could be a14z for example so instead of a12z maybe we get an a13 or 14z with maybe some more
ram instead of just six gigs maybe eight gigs but we don't know any of those specific internal
details just yet however it is said to be apple's first mini led display so it could be a little bit
thicker to accommodate that display which will give us much brighter brights and darker darks
so you can backlight it a little bit differently and it could go super bright and give us a much
better hdr experience on the display so that would be great for not only watching movies but editing
hdr videos recorded with say your iphone 12 pro max for example or any of the iphone 12 series
as well as maybe 5g capabilities that hasn't been very prominent but it seems like it's a
possibility and other than that it looks like we would get a new apple pencil and
the new apple pencil the third generation apple pencil this is the second generation is said to
be similar to this but be more glossy based on recent leaks so we could have an apple pencil
that maybe has some more capability maybe better battery life maybe better sensitivity more dots
per inch for example as far as its sensitivity or maybe pressure sensitivity improvements either way
we should see a new version of the apple pencil and it would work with hopefully this generation
ipad but we don't really know until apple announces it now other than the 12.9 inch ipad
pro apple is expected to launch an 11 inch ipad pro to complement it however the 11 inch is said
to only have the current lcd display in it not the mini led display or mini led backlit display
it will probably have the same specs and internals be a smaller display but just not have the mini
led benefit so we'll have to see exactly what's new in it maybe there's some surprises there maybe
improved sound although the sound is quite good from the speakers and it's expected to
have usbc but maybe faster charging in both of them as far as that as well as additional
support for thunderbolt if it is an m1 equivalent chipset that would give it thunderbolt support for
very fast data transfer speeds and maybe better monitor support as well so we could see all of
those things this coming tuesday now along with the ipads pro apple is also said to be updating
the ipad mini it shouldn't look any different they're just going to bump the internal specs
and maybe change the colors around but it should look the same as the current ipad mini
shown here now the next thing that's pretty much guaranteed to be at the apple event or at least
released after the apple event is new colors for apple's spring collection of iphone cases
every year or every season they release new colors and we haven't had any new ones since the launch
of the iphone 12 series so we'll have similar cases with different colors whether or not those
colors carry over to the leather cases or maybe older iphones such as iphone 11 is hard to say
but this is what those iphone cases seemingly look like based off leaks that people have posted on
twitter so we should have new colors that go along for spring and then later we'll have summer colors
and then autumn or fall colors generally we have maybe three different sets of colors throughout
the year but we should have some new spring colors similarly priced just different colors to go along
with everything now with a recent update to the find my app third-party companies can add tracking
location ability to their devices and then you can add them in find mine we've been waiting
for apple to come out with their own air tags very soon and these seem to be guaranteed for
this event now it's possible they've could have canceled them but even companies like samsung
have made their own versions of these so this is samsung's version of their air tags called smart
tag and they made these available with the launch of their s21 ultra phones for example so
these are what samsung has in sort of response to what was rumored apple was going to launch
but expect apple to launch something like this that would help you track things like a backpack
for example and you could track them right along inside your app in find my and it would be very
convenient not only say apple's own air tags but also bicycles and more so we should see something
like that at least some talk of that with this event now another thing that we're very likely to
see is a new apple tv it's been over three years since we've had the release of a new apple tv
and we need some sort of upgrade as it's starting to get a little bit slow
at least mine is not responding great and many people want to see a new controller or a remote
and so it looks very likely that we will see this based off code that's in ios 14.5 referencing or
tv os 14.5 that's referencing a different remote for example so it's very likely and that apple tv
won't really be a huge update as far as the way it looks supposedly but it will have a 120 hertz
display and hdmi 2.1 support according to the spec so or the at least according to the code
in tv os so it seems like that's very likely at least to see some sort of updated version
maybe no difference in hardware but an updated version and it should be around the same price
199 for example maybe a little bit cheaper this time around now something we're not really sure
about is airpods airpods 3 some people are saying to expect airpods 3 to launch immediately maybe
be shown at the event other people are saying later in the year i would not expect airpods
pro as those seem to be ready later this year maybe airpods pro 2 and apple has been pushing
advertisement of the airpods pro pretty heavily but airpods 3 seem much more likely based off
recent leaks of what they could look like like this as well as many different reliable sources
saying to expect them so that's something we may see also homepod there's been a lot of news about
upcoming versions of home pods maybe with displays in them or different types and apple got rid of
their main homepod so it is likely we see some sort of homepod although that may come at a later
date however it's something we could see and some people are saying we may see however i think it's
less likely now one thing it seems very likely that we will finally see is some update to apple's
mac product lineup now if we take a look at the actual invite and this seems to be a far-fetched
but apple often includes these sorts of hints in the invite if you tilt the invite apple logo
sideways it has the el from hello in the mac hello so this is sort of their text or cursive text
that matches up perfectly with the same sort of font and cursive writing so it's very likely to
see some sort of mac and i think that will be an imac based off all of the different information
that's available out there and imac seems very likely with apple's newer m1 based processors
now whether or not it will be the exact same m1 that's inside of this 13-inch macbook pro m1
is hard to say but i would expect at least the m1 from here or something better as well as a new gpu
to help power that even further so maybe we'll see that in an imac form factor it's possible we
won't see anything but apple did say to expect new max completely changed throughout the lineup with
their own processors or apple silicon within two years from the initial launch or announcement so
we've already got the macbook pro macbook air and mac mini it's time for new macs and i wouldn't be
surprised if we saw an imac or maybe even the macbook pro but i think we'll see that imac
with different colors that looks similar to what john prosser said but maybe something different
maybe a little bit smaller than the pro display xdr but something similar to that so i'm looking
really forward to all of these different things and of course ios 14.5 many people keep asking
me when to expect it and it looks like we'll have it right after the event in release candidate form
so on the 20th i would expect the release candidate and then maybe launching to the public
later in that week or the next week at the latest so normally it seems like they release release
candidates right after the apple event sometimes they release the final version on those days
but they're hiding whatever's in that code about new products too is it seems so i think we'll see
release candidate on the 20th if not it will be a surprise to all of us but that seems most
likely so a release candidate with a final release date given by apple at the event on the 20th as to
when to expect the final release of ios 14.5 and then we'll move on to ios 14.6 for example maybe
maybe betas as far as that goes and then of course wwdc in june on the 7th where we'll see ios 15.
now that doesn't mean apple stops working on ios 14 they'll work on that until september until ios
15 releases to the public in september usually late september that's generally what apple does
so look for ios 14.5 rc or release candidate in a week or so or less than a week at this point
and a final release not too far after that let me know what you're most excited for though in
the comments below and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed the
