Apple announced that it will hold a special event from 10:00 on September 14 (2:00 am on September 15, Japan time).
This event where the new iPhone is announced every year.What kind of new products will be announced this year?For those who are interested, I have summarized the predictions that have come out so far.
Smartphone "iPhone 13" series
The highlight is the iPhone 13 (tentative name).Since the number of "13" is ominous in English -speaking countries, it was said that it would be "iPhone 12s" at first, but now the "iPhone 13" is the mainstream.
It may be good to expect a major update this year to stay in a minor update when adding "S".
A big change is a display.In the iPhone 13, it is said that the notch (notch) at the top of the display is smaller than 12, and the refresh rate is 120Hz, and the video will be played more smoothly.
In other words, what iPhone users always see changes.
The other is the camera update.The sensor shift type image stabilization that was installed only on the iPhone 12 Pro Max is used for all models, and the ultra -wide -angle camera corresponds to auto focus.
Along with that, the protrusion (bump) of the camera is larger than before.Therefore, the case used in 12 cannot be diverted.
There is no major change from rounded design to square, but it may be considered a major update that the appearance of both the front and back of the iPhone, despite these details.
In addition, it is expected to update to A15 chips, support Wi-Fi 6E, support 5g of millimeters in many countries, and up to 1TB of storage models.
Initially, it was already equipped with fingerprint authentication on the screen (under display), but it is now considered that it will be carried over to the iPhone 14 next year.
The iPhone 13 series is the same as in the case of iPhone 12.4 inch iPhone 13 mini, 6.1 inch iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, 6.It is expected to be a 7 -inch iPhone 13 Pro Max lineup.
Completely wireless earphone "AirPods (3rd generation)"
Next is a new type of completely wireless earphone AirPods.
The third generation of this model, which is the popular version of the AirPods series, is said to be very similar to AirPods Pro.
However, noise canceling function, which is the centerpiece function of Pro, is not installed.
In addition, upgrades to H2 chips, which are the successor to the H1 chip used for audio functions, and increased battery capacity in charging cases.
It looks affordable and similar to PRO.For iPhone users who often listen to music, it is likely to be an attractive option.
Smart Watch "Apple Watch Series 7"
It is a story that a new type of smartwatch Apple Watch will come out.
Apple Watch Series 7 changes its shape from conventional curved surface to flat design.
As a result, the size has been slightly increased from the previous 40mm and 44mm to 41mm and 45mm.The bezel (edge) is also narrow, so you can check the information on a larger display.
In addition, it has been mounted on the measurement function of blood pressure and blood sugar levels, but it is now expected to be carried over to "8".
Tablet "iPad mini (6th generation)" with a large screen with a small size
It is rumored that a small tablet iPad mini also has a new model.
The home button is deleted, and the bezel is narrowed, so the display size is expected to increase despite the small size.
In addition, although the home button is gone, it has been said that the power button on the side is equipped with a fingerprint authentication Touch ID like the iPad Air, so it will be an "iPad Air mini" in the future.
Inexpensive tablet "iPad (9th generation)"
The tablet terminal iPad is also resumed to have an iPad (9th generation) because the iPad (8th generation) is scarce.
Here, the processor is expected to be upgraded to the same A14 chip as the iPhone 12.
There is no other major function, and the role of Apple tablet devices that are easy to purchase will not change.
Is the new MacBook Pro at another event?
In addition, there are also rumors of 14 -inch MacBook Pro with a mini LED display, but this is a special event.
Certainly, if the terminals that have been rumored so far are announced, it will be noticed to do another event with the new MacBook Pro.
You can see if these rumors are true at 2:00 am on September 15, Japan time.Let's look forward to it.
