Mark Gurman, journalist for the famous Bloomberg publication, recently published his predictions for tomorrow's Apple event scheduled for 7 p.m. French time. He is generally quite well informed, his writings are therefore taken very seriously, both by his colleagues and by investors.
According to the informant, therefore, here are the products that Tim Cook and his collaborators should announce tomorrow:
- Apple Watch Series 6: a new generation of watch would be on the program, with, unsurprisingly, a more powerful processor, but also the capacity to measure the oxygen level in the blood. Like the Series 5, the 6 would be available in 40 and 44 mm versions. She besidesoffer a new color
- Entry-level Apple Watch: to better position itself against the competition, the Cupertino company would present a new Apple Watch a little less well equipped than the new Series 6, but for a more accessible price.According to the latest rumors, this new watch model would not benefit from the ECG functionality, for example.
- iPad Air: a new generation of this iPad model should also be announced tomorrow, obviously with a more powerful processor (A14 ?), but above all a revised design, like iPad Pro, with disappearance of the Home button, appearance of Face ID and more edge-to-edge screen
Mark Gurman also clarified what we shouldn't see tomorrow:
- iPhone 12: according to the journalist, no iPhone should be revealed tomorrow. For the new range of Apple smartphones, we would have to wait until October and a new conference. It is not the only one to go in this direction, many recent rumors are based on the idea of a presentation dedicated tomorrow only to the Apple Watch and the iPad
- Mac: Macs will soon be entitled, for some of them, to an update as well, particularly at the processor level. But these new models should also not be announced until later in the year, possibly in the fall for a release in November
Finally, the source talks about other projects underway within the Cupertino laboratories. This includes a new HomePod in a smaller format than the one currently on sale, a new headset and AirTags. Mark Gurman says these three new products should be released by the end of 2020, but would not be shown tomorrow. Finally, regarding the Apple One bundled subscription, it is possible that the American company will touch on it a few words during the upcoming Keynote.
