July's only halfway through, and we've

already got a ton of Apple news to talk

about. The new M5 Ultra Mac Studio is

imminent. [music]

The iPhone Ultra has now entered mass

production. There are actually two new

Apple Pencils that are coming very soon.

And also, a major downgrade coming to

the upcoming OLED iPad Mini. And with

this iPad, or any other, I always

recommend our sponsor Paperlike. I

guarantee that you'll be applying a

screen protector anyways. So, why not

just go for the best feeling one there

is? That would be Paperlike. Because

thanks to Paperlike, writing or drawing

with an Apple Pencil has never felt

better. They've got a wide range of

accessories from this awesome paper

feeling display to pencil grips, pencil

tips, and so much more. So, whether

you're a creative or you just want to

enjoy general usage with added peace of

mind, definitely check out Paperlike by

using the link below. Now, back to the

video. First off, we have the M5 Ultra

Mac Studio. The highest configuration

Mac Studio today comes with the M3 Ultra

chip. And Mark Gurman is saying that the

M4 Ultra will actually be skipped

entirely, and Apple will be jumping

straight to the M5 Ultra with a release

date scheduled for later this year. And

again, according to Mark Gurman, the

same thing may be happening in 2028 as

well, [music] as Apple is said to be

jumping directly from the M5 Ultra to

the M7 Ultra. Now, the crazy thing is,

like I was mentioning in our previous

video on the MacBook Ultra, is that the

M6 generation is actually being skipped

almost entirely. I mean, there will be a

base M6 chip coming later this year, but

apparently no M6 Pro, no M6 Max, and no

M6 Ultra chips. This is because Apple is

moving forward as fast as they can to

the M7 series of chips that are said to

be much more powerful when it comes to

AI tasks. Apple's also working on an

entirely new heatsink design for the M7

Ultra Mac Studio apparently to keep up

with the demanding AI tasks. But, with

the M5 Ultra, we're actually expecting

the exact same internal and external

design, so no changes there whatsoever.

Oh, and did you guys know that a Mac

Studio actually comes with two different

internal heatsink designs depending on

which chip you get? So, the Max chips,

they come with an aluminum heatsink,

just like, you know, the the MacBooks.

While the Ultra chips actually comes

with a solid copper heatsink. That

actually makes it 2 lb heavier. So, I'm

thinking that perhaps the M7 Max would

come with that upgraded copper heatsink

as standard, while the M7 Ultra could

see a brand new heatsink that even more

powerful and even more efficient than

the copper one we've got today. As for

the price, I'm going to be honest, I

think it's going to be absolutely insane

because the M3 Ultra already saw a

$1,300

price increase. And now it starts from

$5,300.

So, an M5 Ultra could easily start from

$6,000,

and that would be for the base

configuration. Now, moving on to the

iPads, apparently Apple is working on

not one, but two new Apple Pencils that

are set to be launching next year

alongside the new iPad Pros. So, the

cheaper Apple Pencil would be a

replacement for the USB-C Apple Pencil

from 2023, you know, the one that

charges using USB-C and not wirelessly.

While the B632 model would be a

refreshed Apple Pencil Pro. But, I got

to say, the Apple Pencil Pro already has

every single feature that a designer

would ever need. Like, it's even got

barrel roll support. It already has

haptic feedback. It charges wirelessly,

and the battery lasts for ages. So, I'm

not really sure what else could be

improved. But, speaking of batteries,

Ming-Chi Kuo is thinking that these new

Apple Pencils may have more easily

accessible batteries for Apple to comply

with the European Union's upcoming

regulations where batteries on consumer

electronics do need to be easier to

swap. So, maybe this is actually the

only upgrade that we are getting to both

models after all. Next up, we have iOS

27. And guys, if you want to get your

hands on iOS 27 today, well, now you can

even if you're not a registered Apple

developer because the public betas of

iOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, iPadOS 27,

and so on, just went live a few days

ago. And installing these is super

simple. As long as you've got a

supported device, just go to software

updates in the settings, and then enable

beta updates. Although personally, I

don't recommend installing beta software

on your main device, but if you have a

second iPhone lying around, then feel

free to go ahead. Because even though

this has been one of the most stable iOS

betas in years, you know, you could

still encounter some major issues that

could mess up your device. So, that's

why I usually recommend staying away

from betas. Now, speaking of iOS, Apple

has stopped signing iOS 10 on the iPhone

5c and iOS 9 on the iPad mini first gen

and the iPad 2.

Um that's weird. Those are really old

devices, right? So, what does this all

mean actually, Daniel? Well, whenever

you install or restore iOS, your device

will ask Apple for permission first. If

Apple sees that they, you know, still

sign that version, the version will

install. If not, it would get locked.

And for devices like these, Apple

normally keeps the last compatible

version signed forever. So, with that

being gone, if your, let's say, 5G

glitched and needs a reset, uh this

would have actually bricked it. And

that's not acceptable at all, no matter

how old a device is. Although, it seems

like this was just a mistake because

Apple fixed it about 24 hours later. So,

to all of my Apple collectors out there,

don't worry, your iPhone 5c or iPad 2

are still safe. Now, you know the iPad

mini OLED redesign that we've talked

about before, separate video on that

here. Well, I did say that a 60 Hz OLED

panel was a possibility. And now it

seems like uh

that's pretty much confirmed. Because

according to Yux 1122, a reliable

leaker, an unreleased upcoming iPad mini

will indeed feature a 60 Hz OLED panel.

That's also LTPS. LTPS, what does that

mean? Well, you know how LTPO panels

support a dynamic refresh rate, enabling

always-on support? Well, LTPS

are a cheaper version of that, and they

only support a fixed refresh rate, in

this case, 60 Hz. And that does mean

that not only are we not going to get

120 Hz for sure, we're also not going to

see an always-on display, either, which

is really disappointing, especially when

you consider that the price is set to be

going up even more. More on that in this

video right here. Still, this should be

a really nice display upgrade

nonetheless. And while we're talking

about the displays, if you want to make

your display look even better, then

Now, back to some more Apple news, we've

also got some updates on the iPhone

Ultra, which is now set to be in full

mass production right now. This means

that a September release is more than

likely happening without any further

delays, or at least I'm keeping my

fingers crossed for that. Oh, and by the

way, while initial plans were to produce

about 7 to 8 million units, this has now

been bumped to 10 million units, which

is really good news, because it seems

like Apple is actually expecting this

foldable to sell like crazy, even if it

will carry an insane price tag of more

than $2,000. [music]

I think it's crazy that we're less than

2 months away from the iPhone Ultra. So,

what about the chips inside the iPhone

Ultra, and any of the other upcoming

iPhone 18s? Well, Apple has been using

Broadcom chips since forever, basically.

These are the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and

sometimes even the cellular chips inside

the iPhones, iPads, Macs, and so on.

Now, with Apple's N1 chip, which debuted

last year on the iPhone 17 and the

iPhone Air, many people speculated that

very soon Apple would stop using any

other radio chips besides their own. But

Apple has now officially signed a 5-year

contract with Broadcom, so it seems like

at least until 2031, Apple would not be

moving exclusively to their own radio

chips. Or maybe they're planning on

using Broadcom chips as a backup, maybe

in some regions specifically. But let me

know, what do you guys think down below

right next to that like button. Oh, and

speaking of backups, Apple is also

apparently testing RAM from Chinese

memory manufacturer ChangXin. ChangXin,

sorry if I butchered that. Now, this is

due to the RAM crisis that's been going

on for the whole year, and Apple is of

course looking for additional supply

sources. The thing is that CXMT or

ChangXin Memory Technologies is actually

blacklisted and it's considered a

national security risk for the US. Now,

Apple is still allowed to buy chips from

blacklisted companies, but yeah, this is

a a bit desperate, to be honest. Either

way, if Apple manages to keep the

pricing down despite the RAM crisis,

then why not? At the end of the day, it

is better for us, the end consumers. And

finally, Mark Gurman mentioned in his

latest newsletter that Apple is

upgrading their in-store tap-to-pay

systems. These devices, called iSix,

are essentially iPhones in a special

case that also has a Bluetooth card

reader strapped to its back. They were

heavy and not very portable, but Apple

is now upgrading those ones

from the older iSix with iPhone 14s to

iPhone 16s, as apparently they would do

a much better job at supporting and

reading metal cards like American

Express or Revolut Ultra. David from my

team, for example, took a trip to Paris

recently and he stopped by an Apple

Store where he noticed that the

employees there were already using

iPhone 16 models as their point of sale

devices, without that big metal thing on

the back, which is quite cool. So, yeah,

there we go. That's about everything we

have for you guys when it comes to the

latest Apple news. If you enjoy these
