At its conference on Tuesday, Apple introduced the new iPhone 11, the 7th generation iPad, the fifth series of Apple Watch, and detailed the details of its Apple Arcade and Apple TV+ services. But initially there was speculation about more products that we should have expected this month. Take a look with us at the overview of the news that Apple gave us at this year's Keynote.

Apple day

The introduction of a localization pendant from Apple was considered almost a certainty by many. Relevant indications also appeared in the beta version of the iOS 13 operating system, the pendant was supposed to work in cooperation with the Find application. The locator pendant was supposed to combine Bluetooth, NFC and UWB technologies, it was also supposed to be equipped with a small speaker to play sound while searching. The product line of this year's iPhones is equipped with a U1 chip for cooperation with UWB technology - everything indicates that Apple really counted on the pendant. So it is possible that we will see the pendant during the October Keynote.

AR headset

There has been talk of a headset or glasses for augmented reality in connection with Apple for a long time. References to the headset also appeared in beta versions of iOS 13. But it seems that in the end it will be a headset rather than glasses, reminiscent of headsets for virtual reality. Stereo AR applications should work on the iPhone in a similar way to CarPlay, and it will be possible to run them both in the normal AR mode directly for the iPhone and in the mode for operation in the headset. Some analysts have predicted that Apple will start production of the AR headset as early as the fourth quarter of this year, but we will reportedly have to wait until the second quarter of next year for mass production.

Apple TV

In connection with the September Keynote, there was also a lot of speculation about the arrival of a new Apple TV. This was indicated, for example, by the fact that Apple is launching its own streaming service, as well as the fact that the company has recently updated its set-top box at two-year intervals. The new generation of Apple TV was supposed to be equipped with an HDMI 2.1 port, fitted with an A12 processor and adapted to use the Apple Arcade game service. It is possible that Apple will quietly release it later this year or introduce it in October.

iPad Pro

Apple usually reserves the presentation of new iPads for October, but it presented the seventh generation of the standard iPad with a larger display already this week. But that doesn't mean we can't wait for the 11-inch and 12,9-inch iPad Pro next month. They are not talked about too much, but the MacOtakara server, for example, brought an estimate that the new iPad Pros could - just like the new iPhones - be equipped with a triple camera. The new tablets could also feature support for Stereo AR apps.

16-inch MacBook Pro

In February of this year, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that Apple would release a completely new, sixteen-inch MacBook Pro this year. One of the main reasons why many users would welcome it was the supposed return to the old "scissors" keyboard mechanism. There was also talk of a bezel-less display design with a resolution of 3072 x 1920 pixels. However, Ming-Chi Kuo did not predict the arrival of the new MacBook specifically for September, so it is possible that we will really see it in a month.

Mac Pro

At WWDC in June Apple introduced the new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR. The novelties were supposed to go on sale this fall, but there was not a word about them at the September Keynote. Pricing for the modular Mac Pro will start at $5999, and the Pro Display XDR will cost $4999. The Mac Pro can be equipped with up to a 28-core Intel Xeon processor, it is equipped with two steel handles that facilitate handling, and cooling is provided by four fans.

It is more or less clear that one more keynote awaits us this year. We can expect it during October and it can be deduced that it will revolve around Macs and iPads. It is quite possible that Apple will introduce us to other news from other segments.
