We are hot on the heels of Apple September event where they announced the iPhone 10S 10S max
10R and Apple watch and in true Apple fashion. They are going to close out tech Tober with their final event of
2018 the event is being held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Tuesday, October 30th event, which is named
There's more in the making can be live-streamed starting at 10:00 a.m. Eastern 9 a.m
Central from any iOS device or Mac and what's new this year?
Apple is actually allowing geeks like me
I assume like you because you're watching this to view the livestream at select Apple stores
So what you can do is you can sign up on Apple comm slash today
Select what store you want to go to to watch a live stream and be shoulder-to-shoulder with other Apple
Enthusiasts like yourself to watch the event. It's kind of cool. So it really is no secret
Apple is expected to announce updates to several of their products at this event these include
Mac iPad and we should see updates to software including iOS 12.1 in addition to Mac OS Mojave
Who knows you might actually even see updates to some of the pro apps if you're someone who enjoys reading the tea leaves?
This event is full of clues first starting with the title
There's more on that making is obviously an homage to people the creative individuals that use Apple products from the venue selection to the bespoke
hand-drawn
Apple logos that Apple sent to 380 journalists
Apple is deliberate and all of its choices
Now the most persistent rumor is that Apple is going to announce a new version of the iPad pro that comes in two sizes
The new iPads will adopt the same modern design language that is found on the iPhone 10
On the front the iPad pro will get an LCD display that goes edge to rounded edge
It will lose the chin forehead inside vessels making the iPad pro lighter and smaller than it has been before
this also means that touch ID has been 86'd from the device and you
Will find True Depth sensors in its place for face ID. Oh, yeah, you're gonna get me Memoji
So the consensus is that face ID is going to work whether it's in portrait or landscape moving to the back of the device
You're gonna find the same single lens camera system that the iPhone 10R has today
What that means is that you'll be able to take portrait photos with your device now
I know taking photos with an iPad. It's kind of frowned upon but you'll be surprised you go to Europe
there's a lot of people doing it looking at the internals the iPad pro will get the
A12x system on a chip processor. This will give the I plant plaid
This will give the I plaid this will give the iPad plenty of headroom
Over the coming years and many iOS eights to come now
I'm not going to get into great detail on whether or not the iPad pro is gonna get USB Type C
Because I did a previous analysis on this which I will link in the card above
But long story short the iPad pro will not get USB Type C
I would love love love to take my iPad pro and connect it via USB C directly to my Sony A7iii camera
to import all that content
yeah, I think it would be great if
Apple updated the photos import process as well
Mm-hmm
They did that in iOS 12
I guess we'll see
I
believe that Apple has been working very diligently on an updated version of promotion that allows for increased precision and
greater sensitivity while drawing the new version of promotion will require an updated Apple pencil and the existing version will not be forwards compatible with
the new iPad from a pricing perspective
I would expect that that new Apple pencil if it comes out it would be an increased cost somewhere in the neighborhood about
120 130 dollars and the existing Apple pencil would drop in price somewhere in around the name of 70
But rumor mill is deep with rumors coming to the Mac line this year and the second product focused on everyone's favorite underdog
The Mac Mini even though Tim Cook commented that Mac Mini is key to Apple's future
It hasn't been updated since October 14th 2014
We should see the fruits of Apple's commitment to the Mac Mini line come to life on Tuesday
The new Mac Mini is expected to have an updated design which is somewhat familiar
You'll have modern processors
updated storage configurations and new i/o such as Thunderbolt 3 I put together the next few items based on history of the product and how
Hardware platform upgrades are released in recent years final cut has been upgraded to a new feature version such as 10.2
10.3 10.4 each time. There's a significant update to the computing platform
the current version which is 10.4 was released last year when Apple announced the new iMac pros and
10.3 came out in November of 2016 when Apple released the MacBook Pro with touch bar
When Apple releases the new Mac Pro in 2019 history tells us that that release of new hardware is gonna require
New software that's going to need to run on optimized hardware
I can't see a future that Apple is waiting two years for a feature release of software that many people are using
Especially software that is targeted towards a segment of customers that Apple is working very hard to keep happy if this is indeed the case
We should see updates to Final Cut Pro
Logic Pro and possibly the Mac Pro next week as someone who edits on a Mac using Final Cut Pro I very much
Pleased Apple please expand
the number of use cases that are supported on the e GPU
Other than the updates to the Mac Mini and the iMac there are rumors saying that Apple could
Update the processors and the display on the MacBook Air in addition to adding touch ID
Sans the touch bar to the MacBook nothing
We'll see in a few days tying up
all this new hardware is going to be the software that runs it that means we should get onstage demos of
iOS
12.1 mac OS mojave showing such temple features as group FaceTime me emoji and emoji syncing between
Devices and it may be even updates too
I work that would be great all this and along with the release dates when these props will be available to purchase
Then there are those three little words that Apple fans. Just love to see
You
