Apple's new product launch tomorrow: Apple TV launch is unlikely

[September 10 news] In the early morning of September 11, Beijing time, Apple will hold a press conference in the United States. This is also the latest Apple conference after the WWDC developer conference in June. However, judging from the invitation letter sent by Apple, this time it may "blind our eyes" (This should brighten everyone's day).

Next, let’s summarize the new products that may appear at the press conference:

1. iOS 7: Obvious

iOS 7 is the biggest operating system change since the iPhone was born in 2007. With new features, new APIs, and new brand design, the once realistic Apple world has become flat and bright for the first time. This new operating system supports iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch 5, iPad 2, iPad mini, and all Retina iPads.

Looking back, iOS 5 and iOS 6 were both released on Wednesdays before the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 were shipped. If Apple continues to stick to its old ways, the new version of the system is likely to be released to Apple fans on September 18.

2. New iPhone (or iPhones):

Obviously, rumors about the iPhone 5 are endless, and the leaked spy photos have also outlined a gradually clear outline in people's minds. The iPhone 5S will not only experience an iterative update of the chip. According to rumors, the round Home button will add a fingerprint recognition sensor, in addition, low-speed video capture, a camera upgrade - equipped with a dual LED flash, and a gold shell.

Of course, the iPhone 5C has also become a highlight. Whether the C means Cheap or Color, it seems to be a consensus in the industry that this phone will focus on the mid-range emerging market. According to rumors, the 5C will use a plastic shell and may reduce the configuration to reduce costs. The price has always been just a guess. The price of the iPhone 5S contract phone may be the same as the iPhone 5 - $199; and the price of the iPhone 5C may be 99 yuan or 0 yuan with a contract. According to Apple's product release tradition and information from operators, the new iPhone is likely to be available on September 20.

3. OS X 10.9: Very likely

Apple's latest version of OS X has abandoned the cats that have been used for 10 years and is codenamed "Mavericks". This operating system can improve battery life and bring better multi-screen support while reducing resource usage. Maybe Apple will not launch a new Mac with OS 10.9 at this conference, but some 6-year-old models can still be upgraded to this version.

4. New iPad: Somewhat possible

A year ago, Apple updated the Retina iPad and launched the iPad mini. With the launch of iOS 7, there is reason to believe that these products have also entered the update cycle. However, Apple fans who are looking forward to seeing the new iPad at this conference should note that Apple held a separate conference for the iPad last October. Although the iPhone will not overshadow the iPad, as Apple's two cash cows, the American company obviously does not want them to compete on the same stage. The small iPad mini is sought after, and whether the new machine will have a Retina display and whether the 9.7-inch iPad will have a narrow frame are also major highlights.

5. New iPod: Possibly

Once upon a time, Apple's September event was a music feast, but the stage is no longer just for iTunes and iPod. In 2012, iPod touch and nano were updated, but they were only shared in the new iPhone's launch event. Now, iPod is only a small part of Apple's revenue, and a completely new and disruptive design is almost impossible. iPods are still selling, but their importance is not as good as before, and their updates no longer seem to attract the spotlight. It seems that iPod classic will not be retired this year.

6. New Apple TV, AirPort Express: Unlikely

There are scattered rumors that we will soon be able to welcome the new version of Apple TV and 802.11ac version of AirPort Express, but these two products do not seem to be imminent. AirPort is Apple's router, which was just updated last year, and the product cycle is very long - the first and second generation Air Port Express took 4 years to be replaced. As for Apple's set-top box Apple TV, Apple only updated it to the A5 chip version in March this year. There seems to be no reason for the company to launch it again after 6 months. (End)
