Apple is planning to host another launch event soon, on October 17. A third launch in a span of three months could see the Cupertino company finally launch its own line of processors, ditch Intel, and go completely on its own. The product headlining the event could be Apple’s first Mac with the Apple Silicon chip. Apple had confirmed the news that it will be moving from the Intel chips that currently power all of its Macs to Apple Silicon at WWDC 2020, its first fully online developer conference in June. But it doesn’t stop there. Apple also intends to launch the rumored AirPods Studio headphones early next year.
Expectations from Apple’s November event
Whistleblower John Prosser speculates that the Apple Silicon launch could take place as soon as November 17. The new leak is in line with Apple CEO Tim Cook who promised at WWDC 2020 that the first Mac powered by Apple Silicon would launch before the end of the year. For what it could be, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had predicted that the first machines to run on the new ARM chip could be the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro and the new iMac. Kuo had also said that Apple expects to run all of its new macOS products on Apple Silicon by 2021. Some previously unreleased MacBook model numbers were also reportedly leaked at Apple’s filing with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), hinting at an upcoming release. . Later, Kuo had said that an ARM-powered MacBook Air would be ready next year.
Apple releases in early 2021
Meanwhile, Prosser claims that Apple will confirm both events exactly one week before the scheduled dates; In short, Apple Silicon could be launched on November 17, 2020, and AirPods Studio and AirTags four months later, on March 17, 2021.
It had also packed some of the coveted AirPods Studio features into a cheep last month, along with supposed high-quality rendering. He stated that the AirPods Studio, codenamed B515, will be designed in high-quality leather and metal, will have magnetic earbuds that automatically detect the left and right ears (reversible without L / R marking), and will have a USB Type-C port. A 3.5mm headphone jack is no longer expected on any Apple device. Giving more weight to the rumors, a recent report had suggested that the AirPods Studio earphones would also get head and neck detection, custom EQ settings, and all-important active noise cancellation.
Previously, the AirPods Studio was expected to launch alongside the iPhone 12 at Apple’s mega-launch on October 14, where it introduced the iPhone 12 series and the HomePod mini, until its production ran into a snag, according to Prosser. What we know so far about the rumored AirTags is that they will be like a keychain with a Bluetooth tracker. They look slightly larger than a bottle cap in supposed renders.
The new iPhone 12 series was launched with four models and pre-order dates and availability for all of them in India have already been announced.
