Everything we expect will be announced Wednesday.

Apple is expected to unveil the latest of its product line at 1 pm EST Wednesday at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. The iPhone is the best-selling gadget Apple, it is the autumn event that holds the most attention. This time we have heard a lot about the event (as well as what it does not have), but there are still some mysteries left.

Whether you are a fan of Apple or not, the company plays a central role in the consumer technology sector. Its new products and developments – from outgoing industrial design to hardware choices, to software features such as Animoji – can influence space for years to come, both in terms of new products and new products. new avenues of accessories.

Based on leaks, reports, and trends in Apple's version history, here is what we expect from the company at Wednesday's event.

iPhone X

For months, reports have suggested that Apple is announcing three new iPhones this year. The two flagship models will be equipped with OLED screens, one of the same size as the iPhone X (5.8 inches), while the other, the largest Apple phone to date, could measure 6 , 5 inches. A third "budget" model, estimated at around $ 725, will feature an LED display and will be available in several colors. The three phones must be designed according to the iPhone X. The high-end models will likely be controlled by an A12 processor designed by Apple, which runs 10% faster than its predecessor. A number of clues suggest that these phones may have more autonomy than last year's models, but they will likely continue to have the same hardware as the iPhone X. The phones will also be equipped with Lightning charge.

Since it is a S year, reports suggest that the flagship phones will be called the iPhone XS, and the 6.5-inch model would be the iPhone XS Max. Some thought that the budget model would be called the iPhone 9, but Bloomberg reports that it could be dubbed the iPhone XR.

In terms of availability, last year, Apple announced the iPhone X in September, but the device was released in early November. Analysts expect this year's iPhones to be available much sooner after this week's stage debut.

Apple Watch Series 4

This year, Apple Watch will feature small external changes as well as new key features. In its most recent research note, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said he expects the Apple Watch Series 4 to incorporate an electrocardiography sensor for surveillance. more advanced heart rate. With this sensor, Apple can perform a more advanced heartbeat analysis, so far limited to pectoral bracelets or third-party bracelets.

In terms of appearance, the Apple Watch Series 4 could have a larger screen with a lower ceramic plate on all its models. (Currently, the low-end aluminum Apple Watch versions have a plastic back.)

AirPods 2

In 2016, Apple launched AirPods, its wireless in-ear headset. The buttons differed from existing Apple headphones, not only in the absence of a headphone jack or Lightning connector, but also in a set of onboard sensors (to detect the outlets). been worn), the W1 processor, superquick iPhone pairing, and Siri integration.

We now expect Apple to release a second version of the wireless buttons. The details are still slim, but we expect an improvement in battery life (the current iteration offers around five hours of listening time), a better wireless chip and "Hey Siri" support for hands-free requests. We should also see an updated AirPods case that wirelessly charges.

AirPower carpet

Apple's latest iPhones have the ability to charge wirelessly, but Apple has not yet delivered its own wireless charger. He announced the AirPower Charging Mat at last year's iPhone event with a 2018 release date to be determined. The carpet will allow owners of the iPhone X, iPhone 8 or phones this year to put their phone on a support for charging, rather than plug a charger cable. Although it was expected to be largely delivered in June, a number of technical obstacles came later. The complexity of the carpet of Apple resides perhaps in the need to charge three devices of different sizes: the iPhone, the Apple Watch and the AirPods. If Apple discovered the flaws, the first wireless charger from Apple could make a new appearance Wednesday – and finally be delivered.

Everything else

Apple will also take the time to detail the highlights of iOS 12 and macOS Mojave, unveiled for the first time at WWDC this summer. We should also learn the release dates of these operating systems (as well as watchOS 5 and tvOS 12, respectively for Apple Watch and Apple TV).

Although Apple may announce other hardware products, such as new iPad or Mac updates, it is more likely that the company will register those ads later this year.

Apple tends to hold a second event centered on Mac or iPad in the fall, about every two years. There was no second event last year, but in 2016, Apple hosted a Mac-focused event at the end of October, where it introduced the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Prior to that, he has organized iPad-centric events in 2013 and 2014. While it's possible that Apple is making ads for iPad or Mac on Wednesday, it's more likely that it's going to be a good thing. Apple saves them for a separate event or publishes them later this year, with no special event. .
