Apple's traditionally biggest event takes place in September. Apple, which made the most important announcements at the event in September and introduced the new iPhones, announced that it will hold an event in the last days of October, making a surprise. That day came. Almost all the rumors indicate that Apple will announce the news of hardware updates to its current products.
Last month, we talked about iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, Apple Watch Series 4, iOS 12, watchOS 5, tvOS 12 and MacOS Mojave. This month, the cheaper and more colorful iPhone XR will enter the market. Today, we guess we can finally talk about the big news for iPad and Mac. The most important innovations are expected on the Mac and iPad sides at today's event, which we anticipate that we will receive news of many hardware and software updates.
At this month's event, we expect to see two versions of the iPad Pro: the new 11-inch iPad Pro and the redesigned 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Both models are likely to have Face ID and full screen design without notch, remove Touch ID, replace Smart Connector and even replace Lightning port with a USB-C port.
This year, we expect Apple to renew the case of the 12.9-inch model with the effect of a bezel-less design. Thus, the joy of the big screen iPad can now be enjoyed in a smaller case.
Meanwhile, with all these expectations going, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted a low-cost iPad mini update soon, although not part of the October event.
If you want to buy a new Mac (which most consumers postponed after the increase in the exchange rate) today's event may offer some new answers. Apple updated the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro in July, adding a True Tone display, Siri, and a higher processor options. However, we can see the Mac model that comes with critical innovations to be introduced at the event today.
Apple currently only offers the MacBook 12-inch Retina version and a 13-inch version that replaces the MacBook Air. The MacBook, which has been rumored to range from $ 1000 to $ 1500 for a while, with a Touch ID on it but without a Touch Bar, is likely to appear today.
If we listen to a rumor about iMacs, we can meet a more successful screen update of iMacs, which already have a successful display at today's event. The rumor says the new hardware will somehow include "significant display performance upgrades". According to this rumor, the MacBook Pro can receive True Tone display support, which adjusts the color temperature depending on the ambient light.
It is known that this model without a screen will replace the 2013 model Mac Pro and will have some kind of modular design. Apple is also making a new Pro display as part of its commitment to Pro users. But today may not be the day for this. Considering that three desktop Mac models and a laptop Mac model were registered before today's event, we will see which of them will be together.
This month, we also expect a few software updates that will bring new features to the latest hardware. The iOS 12.1 update for the iPhone and iPad operating system will provide live preview for Depth Control in Portrait mode on the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max camera, dual SIM support with supported carriers. (As in most countries in Turkey is not among the countries that supported my dual SIM enables ESI)
The iPhone XR, previously announced, can be launched at the event to be held in Brooklyn, New York this evening. The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max were released in the US on September 21, but the iPhone XR needed slightly more production time before it was released. Having an event around October 16th could mean that other hardware could be pre-ordered and released on the same date as the iPhone XR - it's just speculating at this point.
Probably the most popular model of the new iPhone lineup, the iPhone XR comes with Face ID and six colors (black, white, red, yellow, blue, and coral) in a full-screen iPhone X style, making it even more preferable with the price option.
The fact that it is faster than the iPhone X and has a different design from previous iconic past designs with the iPhone 8 has a significant advantage, with its 6.1-inch screen that will display the same amount of content as the iPhone XS Max, despite its controversial price tag.
