2. Apple- What’s cooking on Monday?
Apple hasn't given a hint about its launch event on Monday.
But as the grapevine suggests new iPhones, iPads, and other goodies are expected to be
launched during this event.
Let’s explore it further with TechUgo….
3. What is all about Apple Event
Apple is holding a media event on Mon, 21 March ,2016.
Apple has invited selected members of the tech press to its headquarters in California.
The invitation is white with nothing but a cryptic message on it "Let us loop you in.“
According to the invitation, the event will start at 10am Pacific Time - which translates to
10:30 pm in India.
4. What will be announced?
It is expected that Apple might unveil a smaller-screen iPhone
SE, which would replace the iPhone 5S with superior internal
components.
Apple is also expected to unveil a new standard-size iPad.
Again, with a minor update along with refreshing components.
Some analysts have anticipated that Apple will broaden its
portfolio of Apple Watch bands.
5. iPhone SE- A fusion of the iPhone 5& iPhone 6
A new iPhone, which is believed to be called the iPhone SE is supposed to be launched in this
event.
The "SE" suffix has reportedly been described by Apple employees as a "special edition“. The
iPhone SE is believed to be a smaller, cheaper device that will be sold alongside Apple's iPhone
6s and 6s Plus models. it's an updated version of the iPhone 5S, only with current-generation
components.
The iPhone SE will sport a 4-inch display, the same size as on the iPhone 5S and current-
generation iPod Touch. In fact, the design will be "nearly identical" to the iPhone 5S. A good way
to think of it is as an iPhone 6S in an iPhone 5s body.
It will most likely come in rose gold, gold, space grey, and white colors, like current iPhones.
It's expected to have a new 12-megapixel camera, an A9 processor, support for Apple Pay, and
always-on Siri voice support so you can turn it on and talk to it with the words "hey Siri,“.
Analysts have predicted the iPhone SE will cost around $450 without a contract.
6. A new iPad Pro on the list as well
Apple is expected to reveal a successor to the iPad Air 2 with some new updates.
The new iPad might called iPad Pro, or something totally new.
The new iPad Pro will have a 9.7-inch display, making it the same size as the current iPad
Air 2, according to a report on 9to5Mac.
However, it will feature improved power and memory, quad stereo speakers, and updated
display technology to support Apple's stylus, the Apple Pencil- bringing it in line with the
12.9-inch iPad Pro.
Newest iPad might have Apple's "smart connector," which will enable it to work with
Apple's Smart Keyboard cover for people who would like to make their iPad into an laptop
replacement.
It will most likely come in gold, space grey, and white colors, like current iPads, but there's
a chance Apple adds a rose gold option.
The bigger iPad Pro starts at $799 and can cost as much as $1079 before accessories.
The current iPad Air 2 starts at $499, which is the likely price point for what Apple's
releasing on Monday, but Mark Gurman reports the device could start at $599 and come
with 32GB of storage.
7. Apple Watch bands to watch for?
You cant expect a new Apple Watch hardware on Monday, although the event's tagline -
"let us loop you in" - does suggest new Apple Watch bands, like a black version of the
company's handsome Milanese Loop watchband.
Instead, you may expect new software features, and perhaps a few developers to come
show off new things current users can do with their existing Apple Watch.
While some analysts have suggested a partial hardware refresh, such as the Apple Watch
getting a built-in camera.
Milanese Loop Apple Watch bands cost $150.
8. Software announcement either
Apple has recently moved to a system where it allows normal people to test beta software.
It's very much possible that as part of the presentation Apple announced that current
iPhones and iPads can now download a big software update, iOS 9.3.
Said software has several cool improvements, such as a feature that makes screens easier
on the eyes at night, the ability to lock your notepad behind a password or fingerprint, and
better integration with Apple's health-focused apps among other improvements.
iOS
9. Will we see the iPhone 7?
Apple will almost certainly not reveal any news about the upcoming iPhone 7.
The company traditionally launches its high-end flagship phones at the end of the year.
Instead, Apple will use this event to focus on its other products, including Apple Watch, as
well as its public dispute with the US government over privacy and encryption.
10. How to get the Apple updates
Certainly, you may acquire all the latest updates but only if you already own an Apple
device.
Apple often live streams its announcements but only makes them available to watch on
devices running OS X or iOS- its two operating systems.
Even if you're not able to watch the announcement live, you'll find all the latest updates
right here on TechUgo slides.
