No new Mac, iPad, AirPower or AirPods 2: What we have not gotten from Apple today

The Apple iPhone event of September 12 is over and – unsurprisingly – it was about iPhone. Or especially anyway. Apple has also introduced the Apple Watch Series 4, but what about all the other supposed products that Apple would be in preparation? The event was also devoid of news about the products.

Here is a preview of what Apple did not give us at its big event today. Some of these products could still arrive in 2018 – rumors of an event in October, or at least some additional product releases. But others may pass to 2019 – or never materialize at all.

AirPods 2

Earlier this year, it was rumored that Apple was developing a pair of high-end AirPods with noise suppression, water resistance, and wireless charging. Alas, a second-generation model has yet to materialize.

We have not heard of the AirPods Wireless Charging Case. Last September, Apple announced its AirPower wireless charging block, displaying a case for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods on top, charging simultaneously. The company has never specified a price or release date for the charger (beyond 2018). But the fact that there was an AirPods case with wireless charging in the works excited some people. However, neither AirPower nor the AirPods Wireless Charger are available yet.

New iPad Pro

When Apple launched the latest iPad in March, adding Pencil support and a faster processor, it narrowed the gap between the entry-level tablet and its much more expensive Pro brothers and sisters. rumors suggest that the company will seek to justify the premium price of the Pro with a major overhaul inspired by the design of the iPhone X: reduce the glasses, drop the home button and add a face ID. Bloomberg reports that we will see two new models – an 11-inch and 12.9-inch version. Although we have not received any news on the iPad during the event of September 12, Apple could very well organize an iPad event in October.

New Mac and MacBook

Of course, we have a new MacBook Pro of 13 and 15 inches in July. But for years, Apple fans have accused the company of neglecting its range of computers, especially the MacBook Air, which has remained virtually unchanged for almost a decade. According to rumors, however, Apple could have a large number of new computer products in preparation for 2018 and 2019. Here's what we hear:

• The new long-standing MacBook Air, with a Retina display, could finally see the light of day and plug a big hole in the bottom of Apple's wallet.
• The new iMacs with eight-generation Intel processors seem to be obvious.
• A new Mac Mini, possibly with configurations for business users, may finally be available. The current model has not been updated since 2014.

Remember that the iMac Pro has less than a year, so an update is unlikely (but not impossible). And Apple has already reported that the successor to Mac Pro will not be unveiled until 2019.

5 best rumors of Apple iPhone SE 2

1:47

iPhone SE 2

We had heard lingering murmurs that the SE iPhone, the most affordable option of Apple's range of phones since its debut in 2016, would likely be updated this year. Frankenstein's monster from the Apple lineup, the SE takes all the components of an iPhone 6S, less 3D Touch, and tucks them into the smaller body of an iPhone 5. Apple has him given a modest refresh in 2017, but a major update late.

Rumors suggest that Apple was about to deliver a new minor transformation in 2018, giving the iPhone SE 2 the same A10 processor used on the iPhone 7 2016. Instead, Apple has completely removed the most affordable iPhone in the lineup.

Will an updated and updated ES arrive in the spring, as the original did 2 years ago? And will it come back with its 4-inch thumb screen and $ 349 starting price (£ 349, AU $ 549)? We still do not know yet.

Apple's streaming service and new TV shows

Apple has signed contracts with Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Night Shyamalan and Steven Spielberg. He also hired two senior television executives to lead the effort. And the company deployed a $ 1 billion budget last year to recruit projects from these movie and television stars. The thing is – we know almost nothing about how and where these shows will be available. Could Apple create a single package to control them all?

Smaller HomePod

Apple would be thinking of a smaller and cheaper HomePod. We were hoping that Apple could do it at the iPhone XS event, but we knew we would not see it. Rumors did it for 2019. And while the HomePod has software updateshe did not have a price drop that many were hoping for.

Apple TV

Sorry, Apple TV fans, nothing new yet. As a product rarely benefiting from a major annual upgrade, the deployment of TVOS 12, with support from Dolby Atmos, is the only short-term change to Apple TV 4K.

Apple Brand In-Ear Earphones

Apple owns Beats, which makes the Beats Studio3 WIreless headphones (I love them), but earlier this year, we heard rumors that Apple could work on a high-end noise reduction headset. This headset would not only be designed to compete with its own Beats headphones, but the Bose QuietComfort 35 II (which should be updated) and the all-new WH-1000XM3 from Sony, which is arguably the best noise-canceling headset today. available. available. Alas, no large-format Apple branded headphones have been announced during the event.
