This week was WILD!
iOS 16.4 + 16.5 Beta 1, WWDC Announced, iPhone 15 Leaks & More
Hey hey! 👋
53 weeks, wow! That’s over a year of bringing you guys the latest in Apple news, rumors, and iOS updates.
But all 53 of those weeks have been delivered in video form.
Now, you can digest that info + much more, straight from your email inbox (in under 5 minutes)!
Anyways, this past week was jam packed! And it all happened so fast. Let’s get to it..
⌚️ watchOS 10 Could be a Big Deal
While iOS 17 still isn’t expected to be anything crazy, the next Apple Watch update might be!
I believe the new watchOS should be a fairly extensive upgrade — with notable changes to the user interface — unlike iOS 17. It’s important for watchOS to have a big year given that the Apple Watch hardware updates will be anything but major.
🔐 iOS 16.4 Had More Than Just New Features..
This week we saw iOS 16.4 get released with many new features, but it also included a ton of security patches!
WebKit, Camera, iCloud, etc all impacted. Luckily no “actively exploited” bugs this time, though.
If you missed it, here’s my video on iOS 16.4 with the 60+ new changes. You’ll also wanna install so you can see these new emoji: 🫨🪼🩷🩵🩶🫏🫎🪿🪽
😴 iOS 16.5 Beta 1 Dropped
..and it’s pretty boring tbh. Here’s what stood out to me:
“Hey Siri, Screen Record”
You can now record your screen hands free. You can stop it with your voice also.
“Sports” tab in the ‘Apple News’ app
The layout is cool but I’d honestly rather go to ESPN or Bleacher Report for Sports news/scores
Expect the 2nd Beta in a couple weeks. Here’s my vid on 16.5 Beta 1.
🎉 WWDC 2023 is Official!
Timothy & crew will be giving us a first look at iOS 17, macOS 14, tvOS 17, watchOS 10 and more at the 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5-9 @ 1pm EST.
We’re hearing the Mixed Reality Headset might drop, but we’re also hearing it might not. Who knows. I can honestly see the M3 MacBook Air dropping also..especially after the M2 Air got announced last WWDC.
Vote below, what do you think. Yay or nay to new products?
Will we see any new products at WWDC? |
🤔 More iPhone 15 Leaks & Notable News!
Here’s what stood out to me this week:
iPhone 15 Pro might get “Action Button” like Apple Watch Ultra
This would be awesome but …idk what I would use a side button for on an iPhone. Flashlight? To run Shortcuts? Activate Focus Modes?
I get it for the Apple Watch but not really for the iPhone. Guess we'll see..
You’ll be able to change the sensibility of the the “button” in Settings, so it’ll work fine with cases/gloves.
iPhone 15 Pro Volume Buttons will work when phone is off
This.. I just don’t get. I mean it’s cool that they work, but why?
Periscope Camera Lens Exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro Max Will Be Supplied by Largan
Apparently this will lens will cost Apple about $4 to make
New Steve Jobs Book ‘Make Something Wonderful’ Coming 4-11
A new e-book drops in a couple weeks with a curated collection of Steve Jobs speeches, interviews and more.
