David Hanak On Tuesday evening, there will be a moment that the vast majority of Apple fans are waiting for. Autumn keynote is coming, and that means the new products that Apple has been working on for months are already out the door. In the following lines, I will try to briefly summarize what to expect from the keynote, what Apple will most likely present and what the conference could look like. Apple does not change the scenario of its conferences too much, so it can be expected that they will have a very similar sequence to the previous conferences.

The first major innovation that Apple will present on Tuesday will be the new campus - Apple Park. Tuesday's keynote will be the first official event to be held at Apple Park. The thousands of journalists who are invited to the Steve Jobs auditorium will be the first "outsiders" to walk around the new campus and see it in all its (still partially under construction) glory. It will also be a premiere for the auditorium itself, which should be hiding some nice gadgets for its visitors. I imagine new products won't be the only thing hitting the site on Tuesday night. A huge number of people are curious about the design and architecture of the Steve Jobs Theater.
Otherwise, the main star will of course be the products that the vast majority of people who will watch the keynote are waiting for. We should expect three new phones, an iPhone with an OLED display (referred to as iPhone 8 or iPhone Edition) and then updated models from the current generation (ie 7s/7s Plus or 8/8 Plus). We wrote a small summary about the OLED iPhone on Tuesday, you can read it <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>. Updated current models should also receive some modifications. We can almost certainly point to a redesigned design (in terms of materials) and the presence of wireless charging. Other elements would be the subject of too much speculation and there's no point getting into that when we'll find out in just three days.

The new generation will also see smart watches Apple Watch. For them, the biggest change should occur in the field of connectivity. The new models should get an LTE module, and their dependence on the iPhone should thus be reduced even more. It is possible that Apple will introduce a new SoC, although it is not much talked about. The design and dimensions should remain the same, only the battery capacity should increase, thanks to the use of a different technology for assembling the display.
Confirmed, for the upcoming keynote, is HomePod smart speaker, with which Apple wants to disrupt the current status in this segment. It should be, first and foremost, a very high-quality audio tool. Smart features should be in the loop. The HomePod will feature Siri, Apple Music integration, and should fit into your home Apple ecosystem very easily. We can expect sales to begin shortly after the keynote. The price is set at 350 dollars, it could be sold here for about 10 thousand crowns.

The biggest mystery (besides the unknowns) is the new Apple TV. This time it shouldn't just be a box that you connect to the TV, but it should be a separate TV. She should offer 4K resolution and panel with HDR support. Not much is known about the size and other equipment.
This year's keynote will begin (like most previous ones) with a recap of achievements. We will certainly learn how many iPhones Apple sold, new Macs, how many applications were downloaded from the App Store or how many users pay for Apple Music (if it is a relevant figure that Apple wants to brag about). These "numbers" appear every time. This will be followed by the presentation of individual products, when many different people will take turns on the stage. Let's hope Apple avoids some of the more embarrassing moments that have appeared at some previous conferences this time around (such as the guest from Nintendo that no one understood). The conference usually lasts about two hours, and if Apple wants to present all the products mentioned above, it will have to dump everything. We'll see on Tuesday whether we'll see "one more thing...".
I don't think Apple has released any plushies or variations on Barbie yet. Like on Tuesday.
… or he will just announce that he will cancel all of Mac OS X and install iOS on computers and thus change the world for the better – and blind people will see and wheelchair users will get up from their wheelchairs and dance on stage with Tim...
Or some other bomb - probably like the last 5 to 10 years.
Don't forget the new smileys! :)
Is ios 11 supposed to be released on Tuesday?
hard... I think it will be available sometime at the end of September
Super Mario 2? It's just that Apple just changed the target group.
It is as you write. I would give you an up-vote, but that could smack of my approval and the change in the finish line, which annoys me.
If they expanded the scope beyond the original targets, I don't care. But they threw their long time users overboard and replaced them with a new group.
but logically, the old target guard is slowly going to rest. After all, young people will only produce more of it. And if we think what we want about their work, they are doing it for the newer generation and certainly not for us. So it's only logical that the giant adapts and some throwing overboard is just plain stupid. I can only wipe my tears and start gardening and keeping bees.
It will probably be like that. But that throwing overboard is realized by removing the functionality that everyone lacks - even new friculins, and which cannot be argued with anything reasonable. However, the new target is new and does not know what has been the standard for years and is content with the current form. And even if they find it strange, the argument that he finally has the apple toy will prevail, so it's OK. Thanks to it, he will be taller, older, more attractive, and blackheads will not be so visible.
I understand that there is evolution. But even the latest generation tends to be creative and computer literate. I don't understand the logic: I sell iPads, I claim they will replace PCs, but you can't even write helloworld on iOS. There is no Terminal in the sandbox or IDE in iOS - the top app is Pythonista. At the same time, it can be as optional as other apps, if you don't want to, you simply don't download the Runtime environment.
I'm going to present a lecture with an iPad, at the last minute I get a new point on the graph, I have to run to the PC, add a value to the input data there and generate an image. Upload it to the iPad and present it from the iPad. Why would I do that with an iPad when I have to lug around a PC anyway? Then I want to read an e-newspaper, or play a game (99% of the slightly better games from the App Store don't run on my 12″ Macbook anyway...) or doodle with a Pencil, and the iPad is better for that... Why don't Apple have the balls and say , ok, in the beginning we had iOS on the phone, which had great performance, but that's not the case anymore. If they don't have the cells at Apple to do it, others are happy to do it. But that is forbidden. The rules of what is not allowed in the App Store are crazy. Why iOS is 10 years behind HW is beyond me.
Your nickname suits you perfectly, Mr. Waste.
For sure. However, I've been working with computers of the brand in question for over a quarter of a century and I think I have a pretty good idea of what they've made and what they've been doing in recent years. And that's why my post looks the way it does. I think that only a person who does not know anything about the history of this brand, which used to be really progressive and innovative, can feel good about the development. This is no longer the case, and in the mentioned 5 to 10 years it only introduces new smileys, removes tenths of a millimeter of thickness from phones and removes functionality that users have been used to for years - both in the HW area and in the SW.
I'll ask the usual question: So what exactly should Apple introduce so that you don't write what you wrote? Please give me a constructive answer. No hysterical screams into the dark. Thank you :-).
How about an upgraded MacBook with swappable RAM and battery and a battery level indicator and status LED and a matte display? How about a phone that will be 3mm thicker, but last a few days of use and will be waterproof and at least partially shockproof (and may well have half the power).
As for computers, I'm just describing the state of things a few years ago, so I'm just describing some HW stuff that's gone. As for the phone - I remember the first iPhone lasted me two days normally and at the time I thought the next version would last more, not less. What if it finally launched a multi-user version of iOS for iPads...
I will not write about what happened to OS X. It's for a long time. iOS is a mess.
If Apple really wanted to move anything forward, how about just bringing the AppStore to an acceptable state. How come it offers me apps that are not for my iOS version, but I can't install it even though the app exists in the version for my iOS version? I have to get around it by buying it on my computer and lo and behold, it kindly offers it on my phone as well. Why are they using various tricks to push me (really forcefully and persistently repeatedly) to upgrade iOS when I don't want it? Why won't it let me switch to the version of my choice? Why hasn't Apple noticed that paid upgrades have been sold since SW ages, and even today, in 2017, the developer can't release a new major version with a paid update. There are so many that I don't know what to choose...
Great, thanks a lot for the constructive reply.
To the phones. I think comparing the first vs last iPhone is pretty unfair. I started on iPhone3g then 5, SE. I use each of them more and more. Before that, they use data, wifi, navigation practically minimally and the phone really lasted me two two and a half days. Today I use my SE as follows: all day non-stop data, bluetooth, wifi. I put the phone in the car stand (without charging) for an hour in the morning and in the afternoon and I have waze on (2x45 minutes) plus I listen to music via bluetooth. In the morning, I play a 30-minute exercise video from it. During the day, I listen to a stream from spotify and etc... it's just that the phone permanently creates something. I charge the battery to about 30-40% in the evening, and that is a respectable performance in my opinion.
I am not saying that I would like more endurance, but on the other hand, the dimensions of the iPhone SE suit me perfectly, as does the weight. Reducing performance by half is nonsense... The iPhone continuously adjusts its performance according to its use, the problem is how you use it vs. battery capacity.
The impossibility of additional battery replacement, etc., is at the cost of the compactness of the device. I like it. I have a wokstation from HP Zbook15 and believe me, you wouldn't want to drag it... but yes, I can replace everything... only the stretcher tears the ears of the backpack, the transformer is the size and weight of a burnt brick... I would immediately exchange it for a MacBook Pro even with the compromise that Apple made.
OSX, yes, I have a problem there... it seems to me that they forgot about efficiency and speed of work. The new style of surfaces, etc... Snow Leopard was the most effective for me, then it somehow started to go wrong, but I adjusted the system as much as possible. I still have a day-to-day comparison of Windows vs. Mac and I still can't praise it.
Anyway, over the last year it seems to me that Apple has caught its nose and something is starting to happen. We'll see what they come up with tomorrow.
iphone SE is old stuff. It is a Favorit with a modified engine
"These 'numbers' appear every time." In the June Keynote, Tim Cook stated that there is no time for these data, that the company is doing well.
