The picture below shows some of the artistic logos that Apple are using as a teaser for the event.
Just a month ago, last September, Apple announced the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, and the Apple Watch Series 4. There have been many rumors around of what is Apple up to with this big new event, bringing the attention of all fans around the world. Most are expecting to see lots of Mac updates and the iPad Pro revision.
Apple will probably be announcing two different versions of the iPad Pro.
Rumors say that there will be two versions of the iPad Pro: a new 11-inch size iPad and the last 12.9-inch size will be redesigned. Also, they both will feature Face ID and the Lightning port will be replaced with a USB-C port. On the other hand, there possibly will be some Mac Updates including a 13-inch MacBook that will replace the MacBook Air and prices may vary from $1000 to $1500. People are also expecting, what would happen with the 12-inch MacBook Air, the Mac mini and the Touch Bar-less MacBook Pro, that hasn’t been updated since 2015. Probably they all will get some hardware updates this October 30.
Reports claimed that Apple will probably introduce a new Mac Mini with more powerful internals and higher prices, aim for a specific audience which are mostly developers and creative professionals. Last but not least, the iMac is also rumored to get some updates. Speculations go around that the new hardware will have significant display and performance upgrades, including True Tone display support; this will adjust the color and intensity of your display in order to match with the ambient light so that images will look more natural. On the software side, Apple probably will release the specifications of their iOS 12.1 and WatchOS update.
The AirPods will probably be another topic of interest for this upcoming Apple’s event.
Another gadget that probably will get an update are the AirPods. They have been a major hit for Apple since their launching in 2016, but still, they haven’t been modified or redesigned. According to Bloomberg, the earphones will have the ability to call Siri through voice recognition, an idea that was backed by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The AirPods will also have a wireless charging case to work with the AirPower Charging Mat. Rumors tell that Apple will also announce a noise canceling, water-resistant AirPods but for a higher price.
If you are looking to buy an iPad, just stay tuned on what Apple has to say this October 30. Everyone is excited about what Apple will be announcing, so be expecting a lot, because there is definitely “more in the making”.
