Apple's iPhone 16 Shift

Apple is secretly working on its next big thing and the internet is losing its mind. Due to the leaks, we also have some last-minute leaks about the new iPad series, we have new information about the iPhone 16 and one of Apple's most famous. Employees could be conspiring to work against them. We have some really crazy Apple news to break down this week, so let me break down the leaks, all the rumors, all the rivalries, and the weird Apple news you need to know right now, so with WWDC. finally confirmed for early June it seems like things have been quiet lately on the Apple rumor front, there haven't been many leaks, many rumors, Apple hasn't really made many announcements, no big spring event, the M3 .

MacBook Air launched with pretty little fanfare it seems like Apple has been working head-on on its next big software updates which hopefully based on the small leaks we know should be pretty significant, these are big updates coming to iOS 18 which should be more like Vision OS. Hopefully Vision OS 2.0 will be a big deal and make the Apple Vision Pro headphones a little more useful and stuff, Apple has been working on its next big breakthrough and while we have some leaks and some interesting things to talk to new airpods and new iPads and things like that. I think we first have to talk about the elephant in the room and that's what I think most of us laughed at a couple of years ago when Amazon was going to come in. the home robot space I think they currently sell the Astro robot that is supposed to follow you and do certain things and kind of cute and creepy and weird and I don't think anyone has actually bought it or used it at least most people don't , there's also the idea of ​​that drone ring camera that could go off and fly around your house and check for things.

Did that thing ever launch? The idea of ​​home robots seemed quirky and niche and they liked to leave them up to them. like small startups on Amazon, but now we're hearing that this could actually be considered Apple's next big thing. Bloomberg reports that now that Apple has shut down its multibillion-dollar doll car project, Project Titan may never get off the ground. Apple is now looking to focus on something else as its next big thing and apparently perhaps on a list of other things, robotics, specifically home robots, seem to be an area of ​​particular interest in what Apple believes could be the next big thing. .

For the company over the next decade, according to recent reports, it looks like something of an end: what Apple would love to build is a fully autonomous AI powered like a real little robot that could do things in your house, would do household chores. mundane tasks would help you, that would be what they want to build, what Tesla is doing with the Optimus robot, it's a Focus much more commercial than residential, but I don't know if you threw in a shiny Apple. logo on this thing, would you want it in your house? I mean, Apple is known for great design and making things accessible and convenient, but I don't know how they would do that with a robot.

I guess the idea sounds great, but it's also kind of like that. It sounds creepy and there are a lot of engineering complications that Apple would have to overcome for that to be real, the other most short-term and most feasible thing seems to be some sort of tabletop robot that Apple is experimenting with again. the idea here is that it's powered by AI, it could help you do things, maybe it would have a built-in camera that could capture you on FaceTime calls and move you as you move around the room, kind of like Center Stage, but like in real life with a robot, I don't know, am I the only one who seems like this is a really strange area for Apple to get into?

I mean, I guess the idea is that the promise is there and there's a lot of UNCA Potential and there's a lot of interesting things they could do in the robot space, but Apple making a home robot seems a little strange, talking about things that seemed weird and very unpleasant is another thing I should discuss with you and that is a new partnership between Johnny IV and Sam Alman of open AI, we found out a couple of months ago that that interesting dynamic duo was teaming up to create some kind of device AI staff and now we hear that not only are they working together on this new product, but one of the big investors in this new company could be a member of the Jobs family, yes, new reports are emerging from the Steve Jobs family that IV and Alman have formed this secret company, they are working on this new secret device and I don't know what it is, it's some kind of personal artificial intelligence device which is what everyone is building today, but they are looking to raise hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars, to fund this new secret startup and although little is known about what it is. device could be, if you look at the history of the two men behind the company, things get very interesting, you have Sam Altman, he is kind of the main man at open Ai and you know that open AI is the company behind Jack GPT and some other things.

It means that the company is doing amazing things and Sam Alman is a very smart guy who is teaming up with Johnny IV who is an Apple legend known for being one of the most popular industrial designers in the world, if not the most popular, and which is responsible for some. of the most famous and most used products on the planet, a great mind and a great designer coming together like in the old days of Jobs and IV could lead to a perhaps magical experience with this new product and talking about jobs. We are hearing that Lorraine Pal Jobs could be an investor in this company through one of her venture capital firms.

You're potentially looking at a job, sort of an IES meeting, in a sense, there's a lot of money being invested in this new product and we're. Hearing that not only could there be a lot of money behind this and a lot of energy, but that it could be a direct competitor to what Apple is also doing in this space, we know that Apple is also, like many other companies, very interested in AI in this days. They want to build their own personal AI with the iPhone 16 and they're investing a lot of resources and things, they're researching robots and stuff, and it seems likely that as we move forward in the next few years, this secret new device Johnny I and Apple are going to compete in the same space that is going to be interesting again, it's not something we had on our 2024 bingo card, but it seems to be something that will happen in the not too distant future.

Okay, let's get away from hypothetical products and get to the brass tax guy here and talk about what's coming next because it's been a long time since we've gotten updates on major Apple products. I mean, again, we had the M3, but it's kind of like what happens with the new iPads, it's been a long time. It's been a long time since Apple gave us new iPad hardware, but that hiatus will end very soon, in early May, where we should get at least a handful of new iPad updates. iPad Air, for example, will have the M3 chip inside the camera. it will move from portrait to landscape, which makes a lot of sense because most people make FaceTime calls like that and not like that with the iPad, so that makes sense and also, for the first time, a new iPad Air.

Model with a larger screen, this would have a 12.9-inch screen that would give you the big screen iPad experience minus the professional stuff. I mean, if you wanted the big screen iPad experience, now you have to use iPad Pro, you have to use 12.9 mini LED Promotion of all that, but that's about to change with this new model. Many people just want a big screen to watch movies, play games, or read things on the web. They don't need promotion and mini LED which will soon be OLED and other Pro features, they just want a big screen which is why this new iPad Air is perfect and will be a very welcome addition to the line even though the iPad line is a bit crowded in 20124, but I think I'll make an exception, I think this makes a lot of sense and, as I just mentioned on the iPad Pro side, we will finally have OLED displays.

It's kind of a big announcement for the iPad Pro, the move to OLED and yes, it's going to be a really good screen experience for watching movies. Basically, if you play iPad OS games, if you consume content, this is a really good screen for your iPad and it should have great other features that you would expect from the M3 chip inside, the camera orientation change in there too and there are a few others . There are crazier rumors, maybe built-in secure magnetic support for wireless charging, maybe a matte screen option, but that's a little more TBD. OLED seems to be the most definitive thing along with a price increase as the screens will improve huh.

Apple doesn't seem to be absorbing those costs, so expect to pay a little more money this year for your iPad Pro if you want one of those new ones with the new screens. The other side of the coin is that Apple seems to be looking a little harder. dig deeper into their lower cost offerings and improve them, as I mentioned in a previous video, the iPhone sc4 is shaping up to be a really big upgrade, we have that MacBook Air 699 that you can get at Walmart, it's not a bad deal at all and then too We have more rumors and some kind of confirmation: Apple is working to release a pair of $99 AirPods later this year.

It seems that what Apple is going to do is update the third generation Airpods to the fourth generation, which will have a shorter design. like the airpods pro they will have active noise cancellation and then they will basically rebrand or even just drop the price of the airpods gen 3 down to this new lower cost so it looks like the airpods gen 3 will have a new price tag at $99. price tag and then the line will go up from there too, of course the airpods Max should get an update soon, I thought that was interesting. I noticed the other day that Target was listing the generation one airpods Max.

I hadn't seen that before in my offers. browsing in the morning, so I thought it was interesting, of course, Gen 2 comes with a potentially new colorful USBC port and that's it, it will probably still cost an astronomical $550, which is what Apple is for, but it's still a lot and finally to finish. What kind of Apple news video would this be if it didn't talk about the iPhone 16 and while news about the iPhone 16 has slowed down recently, a couple of things you should know about one is that we have continued confirmation that the The bezels on these phones should get slimmer specifically on the 16 Pros.

Apple will make those bezels thinner and thinner, so more screen real estate will be great. We have some supposed fictional models of what the line might look like again. Vertical cameras are going to the iPhone 16 and then also a new potential leak of the battery capacity of these phones showing a slight increase in all models except the iPhone 16 and the only phone on this list that actually got a decrease in the battery capacity and no one seems to know why. The prevailing theory is that gains from chip and efficiency improvements would likely mitigate any kind of battery loss, but if this supposed information is real, it's a little strange that every phone gets a boost and 16 or more do. .

It doesn't even stay the same, it actually decreased, I'm not sure if that will turn out to be accurate or not, but that's one of the latest leaks on the iPhone 16 that I would share with you all as always. I want to know your opinion on the Apple news of the week, your opinion on Apple robots, your opinion on the new iPhone 16 iPads, do you think the spring event should have happened? You shouldn't have let me know your opinion below, as always. awesome thank you so much for your support thank you for watching Apple Circle I appreciate you all yes I appreciate you all so much thank you all for watching I'm Robert Rosenfelt and I'll see you all in the next one
