# Exciting Updates on iPhone 12, iOS 14, and Apple TV: What You Need to Know

Hi everyone! Aaron here from ZolloTech. Over the past week, there's been some exciting news about the upcoming iPhone 12, iOS 14, and even Apple TV. Let’s dive into all these updates and see what’s in store for us.

## New Sensor in iPhone 12: Larger Megapixels and Improved Stabilization

The first piece of news is about the iPhone 12 and the 2020 iPhones supposedly getting a new sensor with larger megapixels. This was somewhat expected, as we’ve talked about it before. With this new sensor, there’s going to be a new **sensor shift stabilization** feature.

This technology works similarly to the GH5 camera I’m using right now. It uses the sensor along with lens information to make your videos and photos more stable. The phone’s gyro will track movements, allowing the sensor to adjust accordingly and stabilize the footage better than ever before. This is a significant upgrade for anyone who loves shooting video or taking photos on their iPhone.

## Foxconn’s Preparedness for iPhone 12 Launch

Now, let’s talk about some concerns regarding the release of the next iPhone. With everything going on in the world, there were worries that Apple might delay the launch or that production could be affected. But according to Foxconn, they’ve hired enough workers to handle the normal demand expected during an iPhone launch.

Assuming things return to normal by then, it seems like there will be more than enough iPhones to go around. Whether this information is accurate remains to be seen, but it’s reassuring to know that Apple’s main manufacturer is prepared for production.

## Rumors About Apple’s Wireless Charger (AirPower)

Another interesting update is that Apple might be working on their own wireless charger, known as AirPower. They canceled the project last year and said they weren’t going to make it. But with products like the iPhone, Apple Watch, and even the new AirTags relying on wireless charging, it makes sense for Apple to bring back this idea.

If Apple does release a wireless charger, it would be great if it worked seamlessly across all their devices. Whether you can place your phone anywhere on the charger and have it work like magic (similar to how AirPower was envisioned) is still unclear. Hopefully, Apple figures this out and releases something that works extremely well.

## iOS 14 Updates: Enhanced ‘Find My’ App Features

Moving on to iOS 14, there’s some exciting news about updates to the **‘Find My’ app**. This is an app I use quite a bit to help locate family members and keep track of their general locations. With iOS 14, it looks like we’re getting additional options for alerts.

For example, you can now set notifications when someone leaves or arrives at a specific location. If you have kids, this could be particularly useful. Let’s say your child is supposed to arrive at school by 8 a.m. You can get an alert if they don’t show up on time. Similarly, you can be notified if someone leaves a location too early—like leaving school before the designated time.

This feature would require enabling notifications and having the person’s permission (unless it’s for a child). It’s a great way to keep track of loved ones and ensure they’re where they’re supposed to be.

Another cool update is the potential addition of **augmented reality (AR)** within the ‘Find My’ app. If you have an Apple device with AR capabilities, you could potentially locate misplaced items using AR. For instance, pointing your phone at a building might help pinpoint where your AirTag is located inside. This would be especially helpful for finding devices in large spaces like malls or offices.

## Apple TV Updates: Faster Processor and New Features

Now, let’s talk about the next generation of **Apple TV**. It looks like it’s getting a faster processor, which makes sense since the current model is quite behind. We might see an A12 or similar chip in the new Apple TV, matching what’s in newer iPads Pro.

Storage options are also expected to increase to 64GB and 128GB, which is great for downloading games and other content. With Apple pushing harder into services like Apple Arcade, having more storage will be beneficial for gamers.

TV OS 14 is also rumored to bring a **kid’s mode**, similar to Screen Time but tailored for Apple TV. This would allow parents to set up child accounts with age-appropriate content. If you’re not familiar, signing in with a kid account would give them access to family-friendly shows and apps.

## New Apple TV Remote: Finally!

One thing I’ve heard a lot about is the current Apple TV remote—not many people like it, but I’m one of the few who actually do. However, it seems like Apple has listened to feedback and is planning a new remote for the next generation Apple TV.

This was already leaked information, so it’s pretty solid that we can expect a new remote soon. While I wouldn’t expect any major hardware differences in the Apple TV itself, the new remote should make using the device more intuitive and user-friendly.

## Looking Ahead to iOS 14 and Beyond

As I wrap up this video, I’m really looking forward to **iOS 13.4** tomorrow and **watchOS 6.2**, but the bigger event is WWDC and whatever happens with iOS 14. It’s going to be interesting to see how Apple rolls out these updates and integrates all these new features into their ecosystem.

If you’re interested in getting your hands on some exclusive wallpaper, I’ll link it in the description as usual. And if you haven’t subscribed yet, please consider doing so for more tech content like this. If you enjoyed the video, don’t forget to give it a thumbs up.

Thanks for watching! This is Aaron, and I’ll see you next time.

it would notify youthat they've left now of course youwould have to turn this on have theirpermission or have it be a child so it'san interesting way to do that and Ithink that would be a nice addition ifyou have children or someone that youcare about that should be in a specificplace most of the time now there's otherinformation that's come out that saysmaybe you'll have a R or augmentedreality that you can use within the findmy app so if you do have a device that'sin fine mileI do there you can locate it usingaugmented reality or even augmentedreality within say a headset so wehaven't seen any Apple headsets yet butit's possible that they could do that oryou could use your phone to go and talkmint in reality use your camera pointeda building and figure out where yourdevice is or maybe where your air tag isif you have that so that would be reallyhelpful to be able to use your device topinpoint within a building wheresomewhere specifically or whereprecisely that device is so you can usethe U one chip along with some otherthings that would be really interestingto see now there's some additionalinformation by I update and the verifierthat came out today about Apple TV andthe next generation Apple TV apparentlyis going to have a faster processorwhich makes a lot of sense it's quite aways behind now so maybe in a 12 or an a12 Z like we see in the new iPads Proand then 64 and 128 gigabytes storageoptions and that makes a lot of sensewhen it comes to downloading a lot ofgames making a big push with Applearcade and things like that now alongwith TV OS 14 we would expect a new kidsmode and now some of this informationcame out about a kid's mode similar toscreen time but a kid's mode for yourphone but will also seemingly be gettingkids mode for Apple TV which makes a lotof sense you have accounts in Apple TVnow that you can switch between and ifyou sign in with a kid account you canhave a kid's view with specific contentfor children based off age and thingslike that so that makes a lot of sense Iwould definitely expect that probablywith iOS 14 and then finally with AppleTV a new remote now I've said I'm one ofthe few people that actually likes thecurrent remote but a lot of people don'tand I would think that Apple has heardthat and it seems like they have becausethere should be a new Apple TV remotenow this was also information that hadalready been leaked now and it seemslike it's definitely coming for surewith the next Apple TV I wouldn't expectany hardware differences with Apple TVthough and that's really it for thisinformation not a ton to go around thistime but I'm looking forward to iOS 13.4tomorrow along with watch OS 6.2 maybeMac OS and other things as wellI'm really looking forward to iOS 14 andhowever WWDC goes or whatever happenswith that that should be interesting aswell and be sure to check back for othernew hardware and things as far as videosgo later in the day or later this weekif you'd like to get your hands on thiswallpaper though of course I'll link itin the description as I always do and ifyou haven't subscribed please subscribeand if you enjoyed the video please giveit a like as always thanks for watchingthis is Aaron I'll see you next time\n"
