After so long, Apple is finally going to open a new conference? I didn’t expect that the mole would be Apple itself! When Siri was asked when Apple’s next special event would be held, Siri gave a specific time and location.
Next Tuesday, April 20, at Apple Park in Cupertino
That is, Apple’s next event will be a special event at Apple Park in Cupertino next Tuesday, April 20.
But for now, only Siri in the U.S. can get the date of the next launch to break. So you’ll need to select English (U.S.) in System Settings – Siri & Search – Language Options.
Then ask Siri in English: “Apple ?Event” and you will be able to see the announcement.
Many users got this response through Siri on iPhone, iPad, Mac and HomePod. Apple usually makes an official announcement a week before the event, which would have been just wild speculation by everyone!
But then Apple released the invitation!
This is, the hammer can not run ~
Pro-estimate, Siri is the traitor who leaked the launch time ~
Many people in the industry predict that Apple’s spring conference will have new?iPad Pro, AirTags and other new products unveiled, while it may be specifically about the upcoming?iOS 14.5 system, because the new wear a mask through the Apple Watch unlock and anti-tracking user privacy features, during the epidemic is a very good publicity point.
iOS 14.5 official release
Apple began testing iOS 14.5 on February 2, and today, Apple released the eighth beta of iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5. It’s been more than two months now, and the delay in releasing the official version is probably because we are waiting for this release.
The most important feature of iOS 14.5 is the addition of Apple Watch to unlock the iPhone. iPhone face ID unlocking was very inconvenient during the epidemic due to the wearing of masks.
In addition, iOS 14.5 also adds dual SIM 5G mode for iPhone 12 models, so both SIM cards can enjoy the 5G network.
In addition, from all kinds of revealed news predicted that the launch will involve the following content.
1, ipad pro2021. using A14X processor may also be M1 processor, mini LED screen, black edge reduction.
2, AirTags object tracker. Centimeter-level positioning and long battery life.
3, AirPods3 headphones. Change from semi-in-ear to in-ear headphones.
4, Apple Pencil three generation.
5, the new Apple TV box. Performance and memory fully upgraded, A14 processor and 6G memory, starting with 64G storage. Also supports HDMI 2.1, can output up to 4K120hz.
Apple conference, what products are you looking forward to debut?
Off-topic: perhaps, this is not an insider exposure! This is top marketing strategy!
Apple next week’s release of the new machine, only 1299 yuan?
Apple spring conference, the term machine feel have been listening to for months.
It’s been talked about, but delayed.
It’s like that first date, afraid you won’t come, and afraid you’ll mess up the feeling.
Hot, just at zero o’clock this morning, Apple officially released the invitation to this year’s spring conference, all the dust has settled.
This time the time is set at: 1:00 am Beijing time on April 21, which is next Wednesday.
In accordance with the usual practice, the machine will give you a summary in the morning, so do not want to stay up all night, get up and look directly at the machine article on it!
Na, look at the slogan of the invitation, the Chinese version is “come in spring”.
If we look at the English version, it is Spring Loaded, which seems to literally mean just spring is here.
Some users say that Apple often plays a double entendre in its slogans.
So they guess that “Spring” also means “spring”, and last year’s iPad Air launch, the new tablet on the spring, so the probability is to suggest that there is a new iPad.
The other meaning of “Loaded” is “more”, perhaps suggesting that there is more than one new iPad this time.
So, what might be in this launch? Don’t be in a hurry, today the machine brother will give you a good summary of the recent revelations.
Let’s start with the flat panel.
After all, the iPad entry model and iPad Air were only updated at the end of last year, so routinely, it should be the turn of the iPad Pro and iPad mini update.
iPad Pro and iPad mini
The iPad Pro is Apple’s highest-end tablet line, so whatever the big update is, it starts with it.
Hot, the most significant upgrade this year, perhaps the screen side.
According to the news, iPad Pro 2021 models will be the first to use the mini-LED screen!
The reason why this new screen is of great interest is mainly because it combines the advantages of OLED screen and LCD screen.
OLED will burn the screen, LCD will not, mainly because the light-emitting principle is different.
Well, mini-LED on the reference to the LCD light-emitting method.
OLED can display deep black, can have a higher brightness, can show a richer color, LCD can not do.
Well, mini-LED will bring the advantages of OLED.
So this year, if the iPad Pro can really use mini-LED screen, the machine is really looking forward to it.
Just do not know with such a great screen, will affect me to see the mosaic of the film?
But there are two points to note Oh.
mini-LED screen is not without drawbacks: it costs expensive.
Plus there was news just yesterday that the new screen yield is poor, the pre-supply may be insufficient. Machine brother eyes on the iPad Pro this year, should not be sold cheap.
Another problem is that this year’s iPad Pro is also heard to be divided into 11-inch and 12.9-inch two versions.
It is only due to the supply problem, this time maybe only 12.9 inches will be used mini-LED, and 11 inches or the ancestral LCD.
The machine remembers that there are rumors that Apple will upgrade the iPhone, Apple Watch and MacBook screens to more advanced mini-LED screens in the next few years.
So, this time, the iPad Pro preemptively replaced with mini-LED, should be Apple’s “water test work”.
Like last year’s iPad Pro debut LIDAR lens, the second half of the iPhone 12 Pro also use the same technology. You taste, you taste.
I wonder if the iPhone 13 will also be used this year?
Back to the iPad Pro 2021 model, its second biggest update might be the A14X chip with a 5nm process.
One of the minor upgrades is to support 5G, but the machine is more concerned about the performance part.
Up to now, the previous generation A12Z chip is still the performance ceiling in mobile devices, even the iPhone 12 A14 has not been able to exceed.
Can refresh this achievement, it seems that only A14X.
The media previously found a new GPU code in the code of iOS 14.5 beta version, called “13G”, but no iOS device has used this GPU, so the media guessed that this is probably the A14X.
And this chip is based on a chip codenamed “T8103”, hey, here comes the point. This codename is the M1 chip used in last year’s rampage.
So, the iPad Pro will be equipped with the A14X chip, is likely to be a scaled-down version of the M1 chip.
The iPad Pro performance, it seems to usher in another surge ah.
But, the machine is more concerned about the performance of the iPad Pro than the computer, what can it do?
I suddenly remembered that only last year there were rumors that Apple was going to release Final Cut Pro (iPad version) in 2021, so maybe now is the time.
If you can run a series of productivity tools on the iPad, this is the most heavyweight thing ah.
But it seems that for most people, “Lovecraft” is more important than “productivity”.
As for other configurations, it seems to be similar to the previous generation in the news, so I won’t go into details.
The next brief mention of the iPad mini 6, before the rumors have been upgraded full-screen.
But I advise you not to expect too much first.
The latest news is that this time it may continue to clear inventory and only upgrade a chip.
(The net rumor of the actual picture, the left is the two new iPad Pro, the right is the new iPad mini)
If it is true, the name of inventory nemesis is really not for nothing.
And if there are only two tablets, they don’t seem to hold up to a big launch. As the rising star in all of Apple’s product lines, it’s time for the AirPods entry model, which hasn’t been updated in two years.
AirPods 3
Last month, the machine has written a detailed summary of the AirPods 3 alone, so let’s quickly talk about it.
The new look, new chip, and noise cancellation that everyone is most concerned about seem to be available in AirPods 3 this time.
Appearance, using a short handle design similar to AirPods Pro, only the volume will be smaller.
(Source: I love audio network)
And the chip, perhaps upgraded to H2 chip, looks like the range will be longer.
At least noise cancellation, although Apple is said to have enhanced “physical noise cancellation” on AirPods 3, the effect can be close to AirPods Pro.
In fact, I think its positioning is quite awkward, not only can it not cross the challenge of AirPods Pro, but also to upgrade compared to AirPods 2.
(Supposedly the real picture of AirPods 3)
Perhaps the price is the highlight, the international version is said to be priced at about $150, which translates to $978, but after adding the tax, it is about $1299.
I hope that next week’s launch, if there really is an AirPods 3, Apple can play some new tricks.
Apple TV
In the past, Apple TV had nothing to do with us.
But yesterday a blogger said that the national version is also coming, so the machine brother or a little introduction it.
Apple TV is Apple’s TV box, the main focus is the system without advertising, and can be linked with the iPhone, iPad and other Apple ecological products.
In the tvOS 14.5 beta code a few days ago, it was revealed that the new Apple TV supports 120Hz video output, and the interface will be upgraded to HDMI 2.1 interface, as well as the new remote control.
And may be equipped with A12X chip, that it is the most powerful performance of the TV box is not too much. Apple is also said to want to use this to create a “game console”.
Is there still a chance for the machine to play King’s Glory and Peace Elite on TV?
AirTag
Apple’s “intelligent anti-loss device” AirTag, the machine has heard the news from the end of 2019.
The good guys, the results a few days ago Apple’s official website press release said that the iPhone “Find” App has been upgraded to track personal items.
The function is there, but the hardware is delayed to launch, which is played out?
So this spring launch, the machine brother estimated how AirTag must be released it.
Finally, I will say one more has been hammered, and is the only one free new product in this conference.
iOS 14.5
Cook himself just last week said iOS 14.5 will be released in the next two weeks …… If there are no surprises, it should be the end of the conference to push the system update.
For us ordinary users, having two big updates.
Before, Apple Watch can only unlock MacBook.
And after the phone upgrade iOS 14.5 and the watch upgrade watchOS 7.4, Apple Watch can also unlock iPhone.
This may be trying to solve the problem of wearing a mask during the epidemic and Face ID unlocking trouble.
In addition to this feature, the most important update of iOS 14.5 is the introduction of “application tracking transparency”.
In the simplest terms, Apple has returned data privacy from the App developers to the users.
Like the machine brother upgrade beta version, the first time to open a news App, will pop-up window to ask me whether to allow App tracking.
This specific implementation of how, and so on the iOS 14.5 official version online, the machine will give you to explore some, today will not be detailed.
In general, it is worthwhile for Apple to hold a separate conference instead of directly on the official website, I think the new product will be very heavyweight.
The above-mentioned, I think the most eye-catching or iPad Pro debut mini-LED screen. It is said that Apple also studied for several years, the final effect of how, but also the real machine hands to know.
Unfortunately, the iPhone SE3 has been in the rumors, no news recently, the machine brother estimated that the conference is not to see it.
Cook ah, you still early SE3 handed out, what do you want you still do not know?
