Now the well-informed and well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has spoken out again.
This year's iPad Show will take place on October 30th at the Howard Gilman Opera House. The motto of the keynote: There's more in the making! Everyone can watch the spectacle via a livestream starting at 3 p.m.
iPad Mini 5 & AirPower & AirPods 2
According to Kuo, Apple is planning to introduce a new fifth-generation iPad Mini. However, he is not sure whether Apple will present the new tablet at the upcoming keynote or only in the spring. The iPad Mini was first presented in 2012 and was last updated in 2015. According to Kuo, Apple is still sticking to the introduction of AirPower. However, he cannot say with certainty whether the charging mat will be rolled out next week or only in the spring of 2019.
iPad Pro & Macs & AirPods 2
Kuo is, however, certain about the other products. Apple will introduce two new iPad Pro models. In addition to Face ID, a USB-C port will also be introduced for the first time on an iPad Pro.
A new Apple Pencil is also to be presented to match this. Updated Macs are also to be released. Apple will present a new Mac mini, iMac and a new entry-level MacBook, among other things. The latter is also being talked about as a revised MacBook Air. The question of what the iGroup will actually call the notebook remains open. The second generation of AirPods is also set to hit the market. In addition to the popular plugs, Apple will also present the matching charging case for wireless charging.
