« Hi, Speed », the name of the next Apple Event, was made official one week before its date, October 13. In view of the slogan, it is certain that Apple will formalize its new iPhone 12 there, integrating 5G compatibility for the first time for the Apple brand.
On his invitation card – particularly beautiful and mysterious this year – there appear to be four bubbles surrounding the Apple logo. The sign of four iPhone 12s, four cameras? We can also see a nod to the waves of potential AirTags…

The October 13 keynotewill start at 10 a.m. in Cupertino, or 7 p.m. in France. Its program is not yet known, but here we give you a summary of the expected announcements in addition to the different versions of the iPhone 12. The ultimate guide to knowing what to expect in the new features presented by Apple.
Apple's next event will be the first to lift the veil on new iPhones from the classic range without them being revealed in a physical conference, with a real audience. Due to the health crisis, the October 13 event will be organized 100% digitally, like the Apple Event in September during which Apple presented new connected watches (Series 6 and SE) and new iPad.
iPhone 12
The first novelty expected during the Keynote – it should be remembered again – is obviously the iPhone 12. It should be available in four versions, here they are:
- iPhone 12 mini, 5.4 inches
- iPhone 12, 6.1 inches
- iPhone 12 Pro, 6.1 inches
- iPhone 12 Pro Max, 6.7 inches

The new features of the iPhone 12 will be aesthetic: with a design taking up the lines of the new iPads and strongly reminiscent of the days of the iPhone 4. On the technical side, a new A14 Bionic chip will accommodate 5G compatibility and improve the performance of the previous A13 which equipped the iPhone 11. The Pro versions of the iPhone 12 (iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max) are expected with a starting internal storage of 128 GB.
AirPods Studio
Apple will certainly take advantage of its event to renew its range of audio products. He did not do it during his first back-to-school Keynote, and it would be completely logical for the new AirPods Studio to arrive at the same time as the presentation of a new smartphone.
In this case, it will be a big novelty in Apple's range of audio products. The brand, which has never produced headphones, could break the trend this year to support its range of headphonesa new wireless headset.

Previously, Apple only had one foot in the market by owning the Beats brand. Can we expect to see a special pre-order offer for an iPhone 12 with free AirPods Studio?
Apple TV
Still on the multimedia part, and now with video. Apple TV couldget a makeover this year. Three years since the current generation has been in service, and rumors of a new Apple TV are looming with a remote supposedly capable of being found more easily if lost.
The remote control won't be the only difference. Apple TV should update its technology to improve the current A10X chip which is starting to show its difficulties with 4K HDR playback. Especially since the last tvOS update, Apple has offered the YouTube 4K service.
A new HomePod?
Let's now look for other potential new features, with the potential arrival of a new HomePod. Compared to the iPhone 12 and the AirPods Studio, this new product has less speculation about it and it is difficult to know exactly what Apple is preparing for us. The most likely version is that Apple introduces a smaller and cheaper HomePod Mini. Less than 300 euros for its presentation?
The (famous) AirTags
The entire Apple community has been talking about it since the start of the school year.The release of the famous “AirTags”is becoming clearer for the Apple Event on October 13. This will involve the presentation of small modules to attach to everyday objects to be able to track them quickly and never lose them. Kind of location tags that Apple seems to have been preparing for a year.
If they are really formalized, then they should be equipped with a U1 chip used to be able to indicate its location to the nearest millimeter in space. We can't wait to discover them, and see how Apple has chosen to position its prices.

A 13-inch MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon?
During its WWDC, Apple made a major announcement confirming its shift away from the partnership with Intel. Now, Macs will plunge into a transition to an in-house chip,“world-class”, and which will allow the brand to bring together the different ecosystems between iPhones, iPads and Macs.
This year, a new 13-inch MacBook Pro could be released with these new chips called Apple Silicon. The October 13 Keynote would become a gigantic event if the brand chose to present itof his new computer. But to leave room for the announcement of the iPhone 12 and additional products, perhaps we should instead wait for a special presentation next November.
