New iPhones and more: the hottest rumors about the latest Apple products. What time will the Apple presentation start and what new products will the IT corporation present to the world? What time will the Apple presentation September 12

Youtube

Apple has sent out invitations to an event on September 12, where it is expected to unveil new additions to its iPhone lineup.

In typical cryptic style, Apple provided scant clues in the invitation that the presentation would take place at the Steve Jobs Theater on its Spaceship campus in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino.

The invitations included the words “Gather Together” under a large gold circle.

Speculation includes talk that Apple has introduced three new iPhone models, adding some of the features from the premium iPhone X, which debuted last year with a thousand-dollar price tag.

The only thing left to announce is the date of the iPhone announcement itself. Apple sent out invitations to its fall iPhone events at the end of August. But given that it's still a week or two away, we'll still have to wait a little while before we find out when Apple will unveil its new 2018 lineup.

However, we will all take a risk and try to predict the date ourselves. Based on previous event dates, the consensus is that Apple likely has something planned during the first two weeks of September, either Tuesday or Wednesday. Almost every iPhone announcement over the past decade has met these criteria.

Apple historically holds September events to showcase new iPhone models, and the company is expected to stay true to that pattern this year. What will the company surprise us with in 2018?

iPhone XS

There are rumors that the successor to the Apple iPhone X will be called the iPhone XS. There are no surprises, although apparently Apple wasn't entirely convinced by the name, because XS could either mean another smaller version of the outgoing model, or it could be an excess of numbers.

We've sorted out the names, now let's talk about the varieties. There will be three versions of this phone. Two high-end models with OLED screens, one of which will be the Plus model, and one cheaper model with an LCD display. All three new models will have the mark required for Face ID technology, which means there is no longer a Home button.

iPad Pro

It's been almost a year since the iPad Pro was last updated, and Apple is expected to update it at its September event.

Like the iPhone, the new iPad models are expected to use Face ID rather than Touch ID, so we won't see a Home button on the new iPad Pro. You can also expect the 10.5in version to be replaced by the 11in model - the screen will be larger thanks to smaller bezels, but there won't be any significant changes in size.

Apple Watch Series 4

The Apple Watch is also expected to be updated. It looks like it will have a larger display, but thanks to smaller bezels rather than larger display sizes.

It is also expected that the side button and digital crown will be modified so that the watch can be more water-resistant.

AirPower

It's been a year since Apple promised it would launch AirPower, a wireless charging mat that can be used with iPhones, Apple Watches and AirPods. Will the ghost rug finally launch? It looks like it. (let's face it, if this isn't the case, it will be a blow to Apple's reputation!)

iOS 12 and macOS 14

The September event will also include Apple confirming when the latest version of iOS (in this case iOS 12) and macOS (Mojave) will be made available to the public in their final form.

The operating systems are currently in beta testing, as previously announced at WWDC 2018. They will likely be available for download before the end of September.

Possible new products

Apple has a wide variety of products in its pipeline. What do we expect to see new in it in the near future? We expect to find out either at the September or at the second event in October.

AirPods

It's possible that the new AirPods will launch alongside the AirPower mat, two years after Apple's wireless earbuds first launched. Although rumors point to a more significant update in 2019, with better water resistance.

MacBook Air

The MacBook Air hasn't been updated since 2015, and it looks like Apple will shut down the model soon. When that happens, it looks like Apple will introduce a new 13-inch Mac laptop at the same price - around £1,000/$1,000.

Whether it's a MacBook Air or a 13-inch MacBook remains to be seen, but it looks like there will be changes to the Air.

MacBook

In any case, we expect an update to the MacBook. Perhaps Apple introduced the 13-inch MacBook to sit next to the 12in version. And if this happens, the price of entry into the range may decrease. We expect the 12-inch MacBook could start at £200 or more, bringing its price down so it starts at £1,000/$1,000.

Mac mini

The Mac mini is no longer loved at Apple, just as the MacBook Air has remained untouched since 2014. Hopefully it gets some attention soon - rumors suggest it will - although it's possible we won't see this update until 2019.

iMac

It makes sense that Apple would introduce updates to its range of iMacs before the end of the year. Like the MacBook Pro, they should have more cores - these are six-core processors, not quad-core processors. In fact, we might even see an eight-core variant!

Plus, it turned twenty years old in 2018, so it's the best time for an update, we think.

iPhone SE 2

Not so likely, but rumors have surfaced that the iPhone SE could see an update. This is the popular iPhone and is the smallest and cheapest mobile phone.

However, most "cheap" iPhone rumors seem to point to a cheaper version of the iPhone X, and we think it will still be quite expensive. If you're hoping for a new 4in model, you might be interested that code has surfaced indicating that the new phone may come with an older iPhone 7 processor, and it could very well be an SE upgrade.

HomePod mini

Finally, it's been almost a year since the HomePod went on sale, so we're not expecting anything just yet, but there have been a few rumors that Apple will launch a cheaper, smaller HomePod.

On Wednesday, September 12, at 20:00 Kyiv time, the company Apple will hold its annual presentation of its new product line . It is known that not only three new iPhones will be shown, but also updated AirPod headphones, iPad pro and Apple Watch 4th generation.

However, it is clear that smartphones are of the greatest interest to users. Moreover, this year Apple promises to surprise fans of its gadgets. Vesti figured out what exactly will cause the surprise.

Budget iPhone

Yes, yes, of course, Apple does not have “budget” models. There are “hits of past years” with minor changes, but which are successfully sold not because of any sentimental feelings of consumers, but still because of the lower price than the flagships.

However, this year we are expecting a truly completely new model, which is positioned as a “basic” model. That is, the appearance of the younger brother will be almost the same, but with some nuances.

One of the nuances is the Apple A10 Fusion processor, which first appeared in the iPhone 7 in 2016, but which can hardly be called outdated. And despite the presence of a relatively old chip, the smartphone will support face unlocking using the Face ID system.

At the same time, the “junior” will receive the same frameless display as the flagships, with the now signature “monobrow” on top. But at the same time, it will have a diagonal of 6.1 inches, as well as a cheaper LCD display. The cost of a “budget” apple will start at $700 in the USA.

Flagship models

But this year things are much more interesting for the older brothers. We will be offered two versions of the Xs model, which will differ from each other primarily in size - 5.8 and 6.5 inches. The most interesting thing about the displays this year is the change in supplier. If previously iPhone screens were made by Samsung, this year they will be screens from LG. Whether this is good or bad, we can only judge after using gadgets for some time.

In addition, the smartphones will use completely new Apple A12 processors. The RAM of the devices will be 4 GB. The size of internal storage memory can traditionally be chosen from 64, 256 and 512 GB. There will be dual cameras, both rear and front.

The cost of the flagship models in the US will start at $999, which makes us look at our younger brother with a little more interest. In addition, it is planned to present a special device for China - the iPhone XC, which, according to rumors, will have a slot for two SIM cards. At the same time, the Chinese operator China Mobile contributed to the spread of these rumors.

When to wait and how much money to prepare

Experts say that the first new generation iPhones will appear in Ukraine no earlier than October. And speculators will try to make as much money as possible from the most ardent fans of Apple products.

Considering the price of the flagship Xs at $999, in Ukraine they will ask for about 40-45 thousand hryvnia for the first copies. The younger version will cost the most impatient iPhone lovers about 30 thousand hryvnia. For comparison, today an iPhoneX with 256 GB on board can be purchased for 32 thousand hryvnia.

Earlier, Vesti reported that Apple has patented the laptop of the future. It also recently became known that

The presentation of the Apple iPhone 8, at which the official announcement of the new iPhones will take place, will take place on September 12 at 20:00 Moscow time. “Kanobu” will conduct a live broadcast in Russian, during which you will learn all the most important things: characteristics, official release date of the iPhone 8 in Russia and prices in rubles.

You can watch the broadcast of the iPhone 8 presentation on our website or on YouTube; it starts a little earlier than the conference itself, at 19:45 Moscow time. Here's everything that is already known about the iPhone 8 and other new products.

What will be shown at the Apple presentation?

First of all, new smartphones: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, which is commonly called the “eighth”. Apparently, we won’t see the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus - in 2017, Apple is celebrating the anniversary of its most popular device, so they decided to abandon the usual scheme.

In addition to iPhones, the presentation will most likely show a new model of Apple Watch 3, wireless headphones AirPods 2, iPod Touch 7 and iOS 11.

What's new in iPhone 8?

Apple's new smartphones are equipped with the new generation A11 processor and use a fundamentally new design - the iPhone 8 (or iPhone X) is expected to have a screen that covers the entire front panel, with the exception of a small “display” at the top edge.

Because of this, the new iPhone will not have a “Home” button; it will be replaced by an on-screen Home, which will be able to perceive not only clicks, but also gestures. As you know, Apple abandoned the physical button back in the iPhone 7; in the current model, under the screen there is a round platform with a fingerprint sensor, pressing which simulates the Taptic Engine vibration motor.

The iPhone 8 will also not have a fingerprint sensor or a headphone jack. The ultrasonic facial recognition system of the owner is rumored to be responsible for safe unlocking.

What's new in iOS 11?

In iOS 11, for the first time in 10 years of the operating system’s existence, a file manager will appear that will allow you to save files in the memory of your smartphone (or tablet) and move them between folders. In addition, the Files app will have built-in integration with iCloud and Dropbox, making it easy to move documents, photos, and other files between devices in the Apple ecosystem.

Also in iOS 11 there will be an updated “Control Center” curtain and a Dock panel, the quick access icons in which can be customized as desired.

I will also rework the camera software, iTunes, the App Store, and the iPad will have the function of launching two applications on one screen.

In typical cryptic style, Apple offered scant clues about what it has in store for the presentation to take place at the Steve Jobs Theater on its Spaceship campus in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino.

The invitations included the words “Gather Together” under a large gold circle.

Speculation includes talk that Apple has introduced three new iPhone models, adding some of the features from the premium iPhone X, which debuted last year with a thousand-dollar price tag.
