The presentation of the iPhone 13 is just around the corner . In fact, always in accordance with analyst Jon Prosser's predictions, the media will receive the usual invitations next Tuesday. The keynote would take place a week later (September 14), with reservations for the new smartphone opening on Friday the 17th and such orders being served on the 24th.
Now, what other products will the aforementioned broadcast host or how many Apple has prepared between now and the end of the year?
Apple Watch Series 7
The next generation of the smartwatch brings (finally) a substantial design change: a flat screen with square edges in the style of what was seen on the iPhone 12. In terms of features, it has been rumored to measure blood sugar level, a higher battery, the integration of Touch ID in the digital crown or under the screen, a pressure sensor blood and even a microLED panel.
The launch of the Apple Watch Series 7 should occur at the same time as that of the new iPhones. However, last-minute production problems could disrupt the plans.
AirPods 3
The third generation of Apple wireless headphones would adopt the design of the Pro range , although dispensing with silicone pads and active noise cancellation (in pursuit of a lower price). Your launch window? Also coinciding with the iPhone 13.
iPad mini 6 and iPad 9
When it seemed that the iPad mini was doomed to extinction, Apple made it compatible with its award-winning Pencil. Now, those with the bitten apple would be prepared to completely renew the device. They would look for this in the design of latest iPad Air , increasing the inches from 7.9 to 8.4 without modifying the dimensions of the tablet (thanks to reduced frames). For the rest, we expect a Touch ID sensor inherent to the power button, A14 chip, Smart Connector and USB-C port.
As for the entry-level iPad from Cupertino, it would slightly improve its processing capacity while preserving its design (including the Home button). would house a 10.2 inch screen in a really slim body (6.3 millimeters).
iPad mini 6 and iPad 9 are expected around October.
14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro
A forceful renewal awaits the MacBook Pro range, which would receive 14 and 16-inch models in the last quarter of the year. They would arrive under the new M1X chip , with 10-core CPU, up to 32-core GPU and a maximum of 64GB of RAM. They would also support charging via MagSafe, house more connectors and dispense with the controversial Touch Bar in favor of physical function keys.
What will arrive from 2022
Looking ahead to 2022, Tim Cook would have planned the marketing of MacBook Air with an M1X chip and a colorful design (in line with the new iMac); the second generation of AirPods Pro (more rounded); the expected iPhone SE compatible with 5G networks and new models of Mac mini, Mac Pro and iMac (between 24 and 32 inches according to rumors). Looking to the more distant future, we are still waiting for Apple's augmented reality glasses, the first flexible iPhone, a portable console dedicated to Apple Arcade, a virtual reality viewer also intended for gaming and, of course, the eternal Apple Car.
