The presentation will take place today
Today Apple will hold a press conference called Time Flies, at which it is expected to announce at least new smartwatches and tablets. There are conflicting reports about the iPhone 12 announcement so far. Some people think that smartphones will be shown later, but there are rumors that Apple may surprise everyone by presenting smartphones on the same stage as watches and tablets.
New iPad, Apple Watch Series 6, and affordable Apple Watch SE specs leaked before the announcement
Renowned insider Evan Blass has released the first details on two new iPad models, as well as the Apple Watch Series 6 and the available Apple Watch SE.
According to the source, the 4th generation iPad Air will be powered by Apple’s new A14 SoC, which will also be announced today. This is the same hardware platform that is expected to be used in the upcoming iPhone 12 series. The tablet is expected to not only have a top processor, but also a USB-C port.
Apple is also announcing the 8th generation iPad, which will feature a less powerful A12X Bionic processor and Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector. The 8th generation iPad will be offered at a lower price point than the new iPad Air.
Evan Blass also revealed that the S4 will be installed in the Apple Watch Series 6. Most likely, a mistake was made here, since the Apple Watch Series 5 has an S5 processor. The watch will be presented in two sizes, and it will be available in versions with Bluetooth and LTE. The inexpensive Apple Watch SE will also be available in two sizes with Bluetooth and LTE.
Apple’s press conference kicks off at 8:00 p.m. ET today.
