According to the source, Apple's new iPhone lineup for next year will follow 'two highs and one low': two flagship models with OLED screens and a midrange LCD screen, one of which is the direct successor to the iPhone X, With a 5.8-inch screen, the second is the iPhone X Plus, with a bigger body and of course a 6.5-inch screen.
If nothing else, Apple will make Face ID popular on every model, so even the LCD version of the iPhone, there will be no Home key, in exchange for a larger 6.1-inch screen. The new machine will have what kind of design, will look close to the full screen, these are unknown.
Apple is not surprised to adopt such a strategy, given that iPhone X is still being questioned by the sales performance, Apple must also know that now can not hold all the chips in a flagship machine, and a wider portfolio of products can be effective reduce risk.
In addition to the screen size, we do not know much about new machines, but there should be no small improvement in their network speed performance, as many sources say that Apple is developing newer modem chips and antennas.
HomePod
HomePod is not a rumored product, it should be on sale this month, but Apple has extended it to 2018. Although we do not know the exact date, but Apple can not let people wait too long, in early 2018 Is a more reliable period of time.
Apple does not seem to intend to compete directly with Amazon, Google, HomePod biggest selling point is not Siri, but the sound quality.Homepod equipped with seven high-frequency array, each has its own sound unit.It has a 4-inch forward bass Speakers to provide clear, distortion-free sound HomePod's A8 chip brings space-awareness features that allow it to adjust sound effects by analyzing rooms.
It is puzzling that Apple's HomePod AI does not seem very distracted.Although it has six microphone array, to ensure that hear the instructions issued to Siri, but also as the control center of HomeKit, but Apple does not Intend to open its API for third-party developers do not know what the future plans.
iPad
Apple apparently does not want to face ID and touch ID coexistence situation lasts too long, so not only the iPhone, iPad may also usher in the original deep camera. Of course, Apple must release a new machine to do this a little.
So we will not see the release of the new iPad Pro? Probably, with the original camera is no longer needed, we will naturally be able to usher in a narrower border, but the new iPad Pro will be OLED panel + full screen? Not likely, after all, OLED panel production capacity is placed in there, but we do not understand is that the 10.5-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, can not be updated.
If nothing else, we will also usher in the next generation of Apple Pencil Unfortunately, it will be any improvements and changes, we are still unknown.
In addition to iPad Pro, the low-end iPad is likely to welcome upgrades.Apple reason to update the iPad, because the data from several analysts have shown that the growth of the company's tablet business over this period should be attributed to it With the A9 chip onboard the iPad, performance will no longer be enough to meet next year, so Apple will need to update its iPad no matter from which point of view.
Apple Watch Series 4
Although there is not much information available at this moment, since the first generation, Apple has maintained a rhythm of launching a new machine for a year, so we should expect 2018 Apple to launch the Apple Watch Series 4.
Apple has not changed the design of the Apple Watch since 2015. By the fourth generation, Apple is likely to come back with a redesign, otherwise it may face challenges from the outside world, but we have not got any relevant so far The news, and taking into account the contradiction between the smart watch multifunction and small body, Apple to achieve the redesign of the Apple Watch there are indeed technical difficulties.
But even so, Apple Watch Series 4 is likely to bring us many new things, such as the new sensor, rumors Apple plans to watch equipped with ECG functions, as well as blood glucose monitoring.In addition, the earlier news also said that Apple Consider switching the Apple Watch to a micro-LED display that is lighter and thinner, with better display and brightness, and possibly more if the Apple Watch is able to carry such a screen .
Mac
In the past year, Apple has been constantly emphasizing the importance of the Mac and promises that Macs will still have new designs in the future.Apples have to prove this and next year it must continue to act.
Of course, we can not get a new design every year, but more frequent configuration updates can be expected, after all, for professional users there is almost no end to the need for more performance, both MacBook and Mac on the desktop, but Taking into account the iMac Pro just released soon, iMac update has just arrived, what will happen next year is hard to say.
We can first focus on the MacBook.Whether it is the MacBook Pro or MacBook, configure the update is very possible.MacBook Pro side, the analyst Guo Ming 錤 had said that Apple is going to launch a 32GB version of the new machine.Because 2016 MacBook Pro processor architecture is not supported, it failed to carry 32GB of low-power memory.Now conditions are available, Apple does not respond to everyone's criticism can be justified.
As for MacBook, as a main portable and energy-efficient device, it is necessary for Apple to bring Kaby Lake processor to upgrade in this respect. Incidentally, it would be great if it could have more than one USB-C interface .
Those are not likely
We will see the launch of the next generation of iPhone SE next year? Do not know, after all, there is no exact news.We can only be based on, only the CEO Tim Cook from time to time to express the importance of the iPhone SE.However, I believe Many people need a cheap and easy to use iPhone.
Some people have been hoping Apple will launch AR glasses in 2018. In fact, Apple may indeed release such a new product, but not so fast.According to Bloomberg News, Apple plans to launch AR glasses in 2020 to gradually replace Smartphone ambitions.
As for the "new Mac Pro and Mac mini" Apple mentioned, although we do not need to wait for it like AR glasses for so long, after all, such a big thing, the intelligence is so small, or a bit strange.May Apple Will their release be scheduled for 2019?
