It seems like Apple has a little surprise for us. The official Apple online store has been shut down. And this is what the company has always done prior to the launching of a new product.
Recently, there have been rumors circulating around that the company is working on different iPad models. Among them, there is a new iPad mini with a similar design as the current iPad mini 4. The new iPad mini is expected to have A10 or A11 chip but with a lower price than the $399 price tag of the iPad mini 4.
Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the most reputable Apple analysts, said that it is possible that the Cupertino giant is developing a new iPad to replace the 9.7-inch iPad. This newer iPad version will have a bigger screen at 10.2 inches.
This matches the same prediction about new 10.2-inch and 10.5-inch iPads from a Twitter leaker.
And it seems like all these speculations have come true.
Yesterday, Apple has released two new iPads: a refreshed iPad Mini and a 10.5-inch iPad just like what’s in the rumors. The new iPad Air has an A12 Bionic processor, a 10.5-inch Retina display and Apple Pencil support. Its starting price is $499 for the 64GB model.
The new iPad Mini also comes with Apple Pencil support and the A12 chip. But when being compared to its predecessor the iPad Mini 4, the new IPad Mini is nearly identical. Its starting price is $399 for the 64Gb version.
So, besides the two new iPads, what Apple products should we anticipate? Mark Gurman, a blogger, also reported that Apple would release new iMac. However, consumers should not expect this new iMac to have much difference in design.
There is also a high chance that Apple will launch the Red versions of its latest iPhone XS and XS Max.
Last year, Apple had released the iPhone XR Red version. However, the iPhone XS and XS MAX only come in Silver, Space Grey, and Gold. So it’s quite possible that the Red version for these two models would be launched this time. The Red version had always come around this time last year.
It's likely that the Cupertino giant would also launch much-anticipated AirPower as well as new AirPods 2.
Just last week, the company sent invitations to media to join its March 25 event organized at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino California. At this event, Apple is expected to announce its new video and television service.
April is Apple’s targeted month for the launch of its streaming service which will possibly include subscription TV service.
In its invitation, the company did not put in the details of the event’s focus but rather a single-line description that read, "It's showtime."
