Ondrej Holzman In recent days, the talk is about nothing but the Apple Watch. Monday's keynote is supposed to revolve primarily around the much-awaited watch, but it is not at all excluded that Tim Cook has another ace hidden up his sleeve. We could also expect a new MacBook Air, for example.
What we still don't know about the Apple Watch and what we should learn from Tim Cook and his colleagues It is clear. There are endless speculations about the price of the watch, but also about some functions. At least we already know with almost certainty that in use, the Watch lasts one whole day.
New or brand new MacBooks
Apple did not specify what it plans to show at the Yerba Buena Center on Monday night. In addition to the Apple Watch, we could expect some other novelties that have been talked about in recent weeks and months.
If we're going to get any more hardware, it'll most likely be a new MacBook. However, there are more options for what kind of MacBook it will be. There have been reports that Apple is set to update its existing MacBook Air lineup, with both the 11- and 13-inch models expected to get Intel's latest Broadwell processors, but nothing else.
In the same way, the MacBook Pro with Retina display could also get a newer processor, Broadwell is also ready for its 13-inch version. In both cases, however, these would be very small changes, which previously Apple often did not announce publicly at all and only posted them in its store.
But there would certainly be talk about the MacBook if Apple introduced it 12-inch MacBook Air, which according to many sooner or later will come. WSJ Editor Joanna Stern expects, that even though it's not talked about as much, the new MacBook Air could play a big role on Monday night. If her estimate is confirmed, it would be the biggest design change of the MacBook in many years.
Well-known blogger John Gruber also did not rule out the arrival of a brand new MacBook Air, but even he is not sure if this product is already ready. In his long post disassembles above all, the possible price of all watches, the highest one according to him can climb up to eleven thousand dollars.
At the end, he made an interesting mention about Angela Ahrendts - she could appear on stage for the first time if Tim Cook decided to officially present the new form of Apple Stores. The company's brick-and-mortar stores will adapt to the new watch.
Not iPads, Apple TV or the new music service
The spring keynote was previously mainly used to introduce new iPads. The last time it was like that was three years ago, and this time new iPads are not expected too much. The last time Apple revised its tablet was last fall, so neither the iPad mini nor the iPad Air require any urgent care.
There is room for a larger 12,9-inch iPad, but apparently still a large tablet the engineers at Apple are not ready. We should wait until autumn at the earliest.
The presentation of the new Apple TV also seems unrealistic. This has been the wishful thinking of Apple fans for several years now, and although Apple is apparently taking some steps internally in the field of televisions and television broadcasting, it does not yet have a product ready for the public.
A new music streaming service is also being worked on in Cupertino, which should be built on the foundations of Beats Music, but we can't wait for its introduction today either. Apple wants to present it at WWDC in the summer.
You can watch what Apple will actually present in the end and what will remain just a wish today from 18 p.m., when the expected keynote starts. We will also watch it on Jablíčkář.
APPLE TV and a new Ipod with an advisory camera.
Don't wait for the Macbook. Apple retailers would have reduced stock, and that is not happening. Unless he has extra ambition to keep it a secret even from distributors. And that would be against himself, because he wants the failed watch to be the main point.
They didn't cut back if it was just a presentation of the new Air (Air 2) or an update of last year's model.
Plus, this time last year the Air was updated, so today hints that the next generation could be coming.
I would bet on the new appleTV. Introduced HomeKit needs it.
I'll see, I want it in gold. Such a timeless product deserves a luxurious material.
I would definitely welcome a new iPod Touch, not the "outdated" 3-year-old one with 4-year-old hardware, I wouldn't buy it, but surely many people don't want an iPhone, so they'll at least buy an iPod Touch for music, apps...
