Today … the Apple Event: everything expected to be announced

Today, Tuesday, November 10, Apple will hold a conference at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time, 8:00 p.m. Cairo time, a direct conference to announce new products, which is the third event in the last three months of this year after of the September and October conference, and it will be hypothetically like its predecessors due to the spread of the Corona virus and this slogan will be The conference is one more thing.

The main product expected to be announced at Apple’s conference this time around is the new Macs under the Apple Silicon name, and the focus will be on Apple’s plans to transfer the Mac line to Apple Silicon processors.

As Apple previously announced its plans for this move again at WWDC in June, and the company confirmed the launch of the first Apple Silicon Mac for customers in 2020.

Previously, Apple used Intel processors in its Mac lineup, but this is not the first time Apple has moved a Mac to a new processor architecture. Years ago, Apple announced plans to switch from PowerPC processors in Macs to Intel processors in 2005.

With Apple Silicon, Apple will have more control over the timing and production of the processors used in Macs. As before, the relationship between Apple and Intel has been strained in recent years as the chipmaker faced many production delays. , which affected the Mac line, noting that Apple has demonstrated the extent to which it controls the creation of its own processors over the years on the iPhone and iPad and the role on the Mac. right now

The following is what is expected to be announced today:

– Macbook Pro

The new Macs are expected to be based on the ARM architecture and built on the same A14 architecture as the iPad Air and iPhone 12. However, the processors will be optimized for the larger thermal windows and power functions of computers. notebooks, and in April this year, Bloomberg said the first ARM Mac chip would feature a component design. From 12 cores there will already be a new version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro.

The new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon will be very similar to the current 13-inch MacBook Pro. This means that we shouldn’t expect any redesigns with this year’s MacBook Pro update and reports currently indicate that we may have a redesigned 14-inch MacBook Pro in 2021.

-MacBook Air

Bloomberg has also confirmed that one of the first Apple Silicon Macs will be the new 13-inch MacBook Air. Designed similarly to the current MacBook Air, but with an Apple Silicon inside and Apple Silicon could be particularly radical in the MacBook Air’s small and slim form factor, providing better battery life, performance, and heat reduction than its predecessors.

In addition to these two Macs, Apple is also said to be developing a new 16-inch MacBook Pro and it is unclear if this will be announced during today’s event or could arrive in early 2021 because it is more powerful and includes a processing unit. . Custom graphics.

Other reports indicated that Apple could introduce a new 12-inch MacBook as one of the first Apple Silicon Macs. The more energy efficient Apple Silicon chips are said to be able to provide 15-20 hours of battery life for a device like this.

Apple is also said to be developing a new iMac, a new Mac mini, and a new Mac Pro. However, none of these desktop updates are expected to be announced during today’s event, and note that Apple has said It will take about two years to transfer the entire Mac line to an Apple Silicon.

– macOS 11 Big Sur

During Tuesday’s conference call, Apple is likely to announce a release date for its new macOS 11 Big Sur. Apple debuted Big Sur during WWDC 2020, which has yet to be released to the public.

MacOS 11 Big Sur is a major update to the Mac operating system, including a completely redesigned interface, a completely new Messages app, a new Control Center and Notification Center, and more in macOS Big Sur.

And for Apple Silicon Macs, the introduction of macOS 11 Big Sur will also include the ability to run iPad and iPhone apps on Mac. We expect Apple to spend a lot of time talking about this at an event on Tuesday, including popular iPhone app deals. and iPad running on early Apple Silicon Macs.

-Apple TV

Apple is working on a new Apple TV and a new Siri remote, according to a recently released report stating that one of the changes will be a faster chip to improve gaming performance.
As for the new Apple TV remote, Bloomberg said one of the updates could be support for the Fine My Application feature, which will make it easier for people to locate the remote when they get lost at home.

– AirTags

A device to track things around the home such as a wallet, keys and others via Bluetooth so that they can be found if they are lost

– AirPods Studio

Apple’s wireless headphones are also expected to be announced for their price. Rumor has it that it will cost at least $ 349 for the “sports” version and about $ 599 for the “luxury” version made of leather and metal, and it is expected to announce a copy of the famous AirPods, which has released several versions of they. Previously including the Pro version.
