Pavel Jelic The Apple Watch will arrive in September, but we will have to wait until October for the iPhone 12
In recent weeks, there have been disputes among Apple fans regarding the introduction and release of the new generation of the iPhone 12. The delayed start of sales has already been confirmed by Apple itself. So far, however, no one has specified to us how much the event will be moved. Famous leaker Jon Prosser has now joined the discussion, bringing fresh information again.

At the same time, it is not yet clear whether the presentation of the iPhone 12 will take place normally, i.e. in September, and the market entry will be delayed, or whether the keynote itself will be postponed. According to Prosser's information, the second option should be used. The Californian giant should reveal the phones in the 42nd week of this year, which is based on the week starting on October 12. Pre-orders should be launched this week, shipping of which will start next week. But the look at the Apple Watch Series 6 and the unspecified iPad is interesting.
New, adjusted Apple dates!

The introduction of these two products should take place through a press release in the 37th week, i.e. starting on September 7. Of course, the post didn't forget about the iPhone 12 Pro either. It should be delayed even more and enter the market only sometime in November. Of course, this is just speculation for the time being, and in the final everything may be different. Although Jon Prosser has been quite accurate in the past, he has been off the mark several times in his "leaker career" and shared false information.
Changes in the field of apple services, or the arrival of Apple One
In recent years, Apple has become more and more involved in the services market. After the successful Apple Music platform, he bet on News and TV+ and probably doesn't intend to stop there. According to the latest information from the agency Bloomberg the Californian giant should already be working on a project called Apple One, which should bring Apple services together and we could expect it as early as October of this year.
The aim of this project is of course to reduce the monthly subscription fee. This is because Apple users will be able to choose one of the combined options and save significantly more than if they paid for each service individually. The introduction of the service should take place alongside the new generation of the Apple phone. Several so-called levels should be included in the offer. In the most basic version, only Apple Music and TV+ will be available, while the more expensive version will also include Apple Arcade. The next level could bring with it Apple News+ and eventually storage for iCloud. Unfortunately, the Apple One does not offer AppleCare.

Of course, the upcoming project is then expected to be fully compatible with family sharing. According to the information published so far, we could save between two and five dollars a month through Apple One, which, for example, can save up to fifteen hundred crowns during the annual use of services.
A new apple service? Apple is about to enter the world of fitness
Here we follow up on the described Apple One project and the information published by the agency Bloomberg. The Californian giant is said to be boasting a brand new service that will be completely focused on fitness and will of course be available on a subscription basis. The service as such should offer virtual workout hours via iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. This would mean the arrival of a new rival for services from Nike or Peloton.
In addition, in March, the foreign magazine MacRumors found a mention of a new fitness application in the leaked code of the iOS 14 operating system. It was intended for the iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple TV and was labeled Seymour. At the same time, the program was completely separated from the already existing Activity application and it can be expected that it could be connected to the upcoming service.
Apple released iOS and iPadOS 13.6.1
A few hours ago, the Apple company released a new version of the iOS and iPadOS operating systems, called 13.6.1. This update mainly brought with it the corrections of several errors, and Apple already classically recommends its installation to all users. The version is mainly intended to solve problems with the storage, which in version 13.6 was filled out of nowhere for many apple users. Furthermore, the Californian giant fixed non-functional notifications when contacting a person infected with the disease COVID-19. However, this function does not concern us, because the Czech eRouška application does not support it.
You can install the update by opening it Settings, where all you have to do is switch to the tab In general, choose Software update and continue to download and install the classic version. Apple also released macOS 10.15.6 at the same time fixing virtualization bugs and others.
