iPhone 12, iOS 14 Security, iOS 14 Beta 5, New Macs and more: Phil Schiller is stepping down as head of marketing he's been in charge of marketing for a very long time he's done a fantastic job but now Greg Josiah is taking over or Joz as they call him and so he'll be taking over and Phil Schiller will become an apple fellow basically an alumni that can i think have some input into some of the marketing and help the transition if they haven't already Joz has been working on this for quite some time i think and phil has probably been helping him from some time anyway the next thing is Tim Cook is now well a billionaire according to apple stock so he's now worth over a billion dollars whether or not he takes any of that out is up to him of course but technically he has that much money at this point now as far as ios 14 while ios 14 and mac os big sur have a great new security feature built in called domain bound sms codes for two-factor authentication so maybe you're in an application or a website for example say apple.com and you want to sign in and it says i need to text you a code well that text code will be tied back to apple.com so that it will only input automatically as long as it recognizes it's the correct website it's just an extra layer of security to prevent against things such as malicious attack sand just to keep it a little bit more private so i'm glad they're doing that it's great to see those additional features now apple news also has a new feature within ios 14 and that is a new feature called open web links in news so no longer do you need to leave apple news to read a web link it will actually do it right from within the news app and you can just read it here instead of going back to say safari to do that or whatever your default browser is of course like you saw here it's a a setting. 

So you can turn it on or of fit's on by default it looks like but you can turn it off if you'd like now like i said last week iPhone 12 will be delayed a few weeks according to apple but it looks like foxconn who produces the iPhone for apple is ramping up their hiring for i phone production so what that means is basically it's finalized of course the cameras probably won't look like this but we've got our finalized sizes our finalized oled display sand it looks like they're going to ramp up production and have millions ready by the time they're ready to launch just like normal but that always takes time and speaking of iphone 12 production it looks like the iphone 12 display has been leaked at least one of them it could be any specific size we don't know but it looks like it's an oledit's also appearing to have the same notch that we have now on all the iphone's so that's what made me a little suspectis we thought the notch was supposed to be a little bit smaller but maybe it'sthe same on certain models and not all since this is just one front display that was leaked by mr white now ming chi quo says the iphone 12 lenssupplier for the cameras here is apparently having some issues with low yields meaning that they're not getting the quality or maybe they'recracking and they don't really meet up or matchup to what apple would expect from the lens that goes over the camera quo saysthat it's not going to delay the actual production of iphone 12 because there's other suppliers that apple can fall back onuntil they get things moved up but again this sort of hints at apple doing atwo-step roll out of the iphones maybe the lower-end iphone 12sand then the higher-end pro models later on so it means they'd startrolling them out and then maybe a few weeks later we'd be able to purchase thepro and pro max model so that wouldn't surprise me again imentioned that before and we saw that with the iphone 88 plus and iphone 10 rollouts the 8 and 8 plus came firstand then the 10. now also with the iphone 12or just iphone in general apparently it looks like wechat may be bannedeventually in the united states if that actually happens that couldaffect production incredibly throughout the world meaningthat if you can't use wechat which is heavily used in chinawell the phones may not sell as well so it could hurtup to 30 percent of sales according to ming chi quobut it's hard to say if that will actually happen of course that's i think60 or 90 days out but if it is banned it definitely could affect sales in thefuture of iphones and then finally here's some interestingphotos that was leaked by everything apple pro on twitterand.

You can see that the next iphone may have a ring of magnets inside and tha tmay help it to be aligned to a wireless charging padso you would put it down it would help align it and then it would charge and so it looks like it was not only built into the back of the phones butalso a case that apple's going to sell tohelp it better align so that makes a lot of sense if they're going to releasetheir own charger with a ring of magnets inside to help it snap in place and charge maybe that's the problem they were having with air power and then they wouldn't have the alignment problem by using magnets and it would just snap into place that seems like a reasonable way to figure out that problem they were having and secure your device to any charger too so it doesn't just slide offnow there's some interesting patents that leaked showing some convex displays on an iphone basically apple is exploring making the display convex so it slopes up and away from the phone and maybe could be a ring of glass around the whole device now again this is apple exploring different possibilities and so we may see something like this in the future and itwould be really interesting to see that but we're never sure if apple's actually going to produce it it's just interesting to see thatthey're working on things like this based off their patents now a bad piece of news if you're an xbox fan is project xcloud will not be coming to thephone now if you're not familiar with this this is basically a way to stream games to your phone and play them with an xbox controller on your device the Samsung note 10 can do this and will be one of the first devices to be able to do that and unfortunately due to apple's policy on the app store they're not going to allow it so basically what they would have to do is allow the app and then approve every app within that app and apple just isn't willing to do that and neither is Microsoft at this point so it looks like that's going to have towait hopefully they can work it out and we'll have something like that in thefuture but right now that's not going to be possible now on iphone there's another interesting thing if you're using ios 13 or 14and that is in japan you now have look around so let's go into maps and ifyou go into tokyo japan this is available in tokyo osaka kyoto and nagoya and if we go in here maybe we'll go tothis point right here if you have these binoculars you can look around so you tap on look around we'll expand this and now you can look around the city so this is available in certain cities inthe united states and now it's available in other cities within japanso hopefully it comes to more places throughout the world it's great to see this and you can see you just move move through it like you're driving it's nice and smooth and so it's nice to see that added now in regards to ios 14beta 5 i know a lot of people want to know when that's coming out and based on what apple has done before you can see all of the dates here it probably will be next week if they continue to do what they did with ios 12 and ios 13. now there's no guarantee of this apple could change it they could release it in a few minutes.

If they want to but based on what they've done before we'll probably see it next week but ifit's this week of course i'll keep you updated along with any updates that come out for say apple watch and speaking of apple watch it looks like apple watch is eventually going to go to micro led i thought it'd be already atmicro led this coming year it may take three to four years for that to actually materialize so apple is planning to bring micro ledto their macbooks and also their iphones but for now it will have to wait on the watch at least a few year snow with the mac book air there's another image of a battery for an upcomingmacbook air going through certifications again and what this could be for is for an apple silicon basedmacbook later this year would be great to see apple's new hardware running on anew macbook air with a new battery that would last allday so this is just another image of those batteries and then also last Tuesday apple released a new imac with 10 core cpus anano coated display option for anti-reflectivity and also you can still upgrade the ram easily by yourself on the 27-inch modelfor those of you waiting for maybe a new apple silicon based imac well here's what they could look like according to daniel batistawho made some imac concepts i think it's great looking i would love to see animac that looks like this and hopefully we'll see that in thefuture but if you really don't need a new imac and you want to see what the next one looks like it may be a couple years but hopefully we'll have a thinner one running apple silicon hardware and  it will just be thinner like that ipad that we currently have with theipad pro and that's what the next rumored one is supposed to look like soi think it would be great to see that sort of concept now finally apple released a new 30 watt power adapter for 49why they released it it has a new build number i'm not sure but it's a new buildit's a new part and it's available now if you'd like to get your hands on it and you want to fast charge your iphone your ipad and you can even use it tocharge a mac.

 If you need it and that's it for this week not a ton new but there's some interesting news about iphone 12.
