The main thing from the presentation of Apple. Largest iPhone. Highlights from the Apple presentation AirPower Wireless Charging Station
We decided to deal with the likelihood of introducing new devices. The event is not rubber, so not everything will obviously fit into it.
What is the likelihood of seeing each new product?
iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Plus, and iPhone 9
Probability: 100%
The cutout in the screen under True Depth is not visible, but it is definitely there
Since 2010, we have seen a clear naming system for the iPhone: 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6, 6s and 7. There were 5c and SE specials, but the general principle did not raise questions. In 2017, everything changed.
Instead of the iPhone 7s, we saw the iPhone 8 and iPhone X (10), so in 2018 we first waited for the inexpensive iPhone 9, the flagship iPhone XI (11) and iPhone XI Plus. But on 9to5Mac the latter will end up as Xs.
They will receive iPhone X design and Face id in the notch of the screen.
To 6.1-inch iPhone 9 fit into the lineup, it should get the current A11 Bionic instead of the new A12, as well as an MLCD + screen instead of OLED, a single camera instead of a dual camera and no more than 3GB of RAM.
So it will fit just under the iPhone X.
The main feature of the iPhone 9 will be a whole range of body colors: white, black, yellow, orange, blue and gray.
TrendForce are confident that 9 will cost no more $699-749 ... To achieve this price, it can have larger bezels around the screen, as well as aluminum sides instead of steel ones.

Except for the A12 chip iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Plus will receive a 5.8- and 6.5-inch OLED screen, respectively, 4 GB of RAM, dual cameras and steel side edges.
There is almost no doubt that, in addition to black and white, flagship smartphones will also be sold in gold or bronze. This is hinted at by the presentation logo.
To fully justify the "s" index, devices can also get ProMotion - overclocking the screen frequency to 120 Hz.
You will have to pay for the iPhone Xs $899-949 , and for the iPhone Xs Plus they will ask from $999 .
Final versions of iOS 12, macOS Mojave, watchOS 5
Probability: 100%
The presentation should not ignore the final versions of iOS 12, macOS Mojave and watchOS 5, which we began to actively use immediately after WWDC 2018.
The main feature of iOS 12 is the speed of work, and macOS Mojave received a dark theme for the interface design, which should also migrate to mobile devices.
Oddly enough, personally I am the most I want to see the final version of watchOS 5 though installing it on my Apple Watch Series 2 won't do anything new.
However, I'm interested to see how she will use the enlarged screen of the Apple Watch Series 4.
New bezel-less Apple Watch Series 4
Probability: 95%
No, Apple Watch Series 4 won't be round. However, the new watch will get rounded corners of the screen.
The screen of the novelty will increase 35% for the 42 mm version and 38% for the 38 mm version. This will be the main innovation of the device, due to which the old Apple Watch will be replaced with it.
Rather, their body will also become more rounded, the side button will be recessed into the body (maybe it will be touch-sensitive, like in the iPhone 7 and 8), the microphone will be located under the Digital Crown.
This is what a new exclusive watch face for Apple Watch Series 4 might look like
On renders, the Apple Watch Series 4 seems thinner than its predecessors, but we will find out the exact information on this on September 12.
Personally, I'm most interested in strap compatibility: I hope they haven't changed the mount and the old ones will fit the new watch.
AirPower Wireless Charging Station
Probability: 95%
Frame from the presentation of AirPower in 2017
Apple introduced AirPower along with the iPhone 8 (Plus) and iPhone X in September 2017. Then the new smartphones of the company introduced wireless charging according to the Qi standard, so such a device was expected.
However, the company only announces sales of the device on September 12, 2018. This is the famous reporter Mark Gurman.
Analog AirPower from Plux with Indiegogo
AirPower supports charging iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at the same time.
Apple planned to launch sales of the device back in June, but it had to be postponed due to technical difficulties.
AirPower is not just Qi wireless charging... It has an embedded operating system that controls power and pairing.
Updated iPad Pro with bezel-less screen
Probability: 50%
Concept of the new iPad Pro by Venya Geskin
Today, my colleagues and I are inclined to believe that the new iPad Pro will be presented to us on September 12 with a probability of 50-50.
Chances are, the company will want to focus more on the iPhone Xs (Plus), as well as the big bet iPhone 9.
iPad Pro will be an ideological continuation of the current 10.5-inch model. He will receive an 11-inch screen with reduced bezels and, most likely, without a cutout for True Depth.
About the dual camera and other additional features of the novelty, nothing is known yet. But it may have additional pads for connecting peripherals.
The new iPad Pro will surely work on upgraded version of the A12 processor and will become the fastest device on the market.
Redesigned MacBooks as well as MacBook Airs
Probability: 25%
We're looking forward to Apple's new 12-inch MacBook, which hasn't been updated this year yet, as well as the new Mac mini (not updated since 2014) and the anniversary iMac (20 years old).
However, Apple is unlikely to prioritize these products, so it may not allocate time for them during the presentation.
But the updated MacBook Air with a small probability, but it can look at it.
Apple hasn't updated the MacBook Air since 2015. However, he has no plans to abandon this device.
According to Economic Daily News, the company will offer us an updated 13-inch MacBook Air priced under $ 1,000.
It will run on Kaby Lake generation Intel Core processors and is excellent suitable for students and other undemanding users.
Budget iPhone SE2 for Developing Countries
Probability: 20%
In early August, iPhone SE2 was found in Xcode 10. Most likely, this device will be an updated iPhone 7, which will be sold for no more $449 .
Apple's most important presentation of the year, which will take place on September 12, is just a few days away. The company will host a “Gather Round” event at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino.
Where and when to watch the event?
The presentation will begin at 20:00 Moscow time, and you can watch it through Safari. Just go to the event page on Apple's website: apple.com/apple-events/september-2018/.
Residents of Moscow and the Moscow region are invited to a special Apple party with pleasant companions and assorted drinks.
Apple iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, and some other iPhone
Apple will unveil 3 new iPhones. We list the names that are most likely to be used.
The iPhone XS is the successor to last year's OLED flagship. The main difference will be the A12 processor. There are also unconfirmed rumors that Apple will release a new generation of Face ID, but this information has not yet been confirmed.
iPhone XS Max is an oversized model of the iPhone XS with a 6.5-inch screen. The cost of this model will go far beyond 100,000 rubles.
iPhone 9 is the continuation of the iPhone 8 series with an LCD display. This smartphone will also get rid of the Home button thanks to the TrueDepth front-facing camera, but cheaper materials will allow for a price tag of 45-50 thousand rubles on the device.
Apple Watch Series 4
9to5Mac editors shared a photo of the packaging of the new watch, which allows us to conclude that the device will receive a higher display resolution. Apple will achieve increased resolution with thinner bezels and higher pixel density (DPI).
A red ring has appeared on the digital crown, which most likely serves as a hole for the LTE antenna. If this is true, then Apple watches will become relatively independent from the iPhone in countries where electronic SIM cards are allowed.
iPad and iPad Pro
This year Apple is ditching the Home button everywhere, including the iPad and iPad Pro. The new tablets will receive TrueDepth cameras, which are responsible for the Face ID function. The change will allow Apple to increase the display area without stretching the form factor of the devices.
Recently, there were rumors that the corporation will revive the beloved design of the iPhone 4, embodying it in the iPad. There are, however, other rumors hinting at completely different changes.
Apple did not release new MacBooks at WWDC, and will likely do so on Wednesday. The company is rumored to release new computers with an improved processor and more USB-C ports.
It is also likely that Tim Cook's corporation will introduce a new MacBook Air with Retina display.
AirPods 2, wireless charging
The main innovation of AirPods this year should be wireless charging and extended battery life. Along with the new headset, Apple should also release a universal Qi-charging device AirPower, which can simultaneously charge a phone, tablet, watch and headphones.
Apple's big event will officially take place on September 12th. The most anticipated new additions this 2018 will be shown at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, Cupertino.
The list of new devices includes three new Apple iPhones 2018 at once. It is already known how the new items will be called - iPhone XC, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone XS. Shown, the fourth version of Apple Watch Series 4, updated iPad Pro, and many other devices. Here's what we expect Apple to see at Wednesday's launch.
iPhone XC, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max - what to expect on September 12
According to numerous rumors this year, we learned that Apple will introduce receivers for the iPhone X. Namely, three new models iPhone 2018 released this year.
iPhone 9
The first and most anticipated, in our opinion, will be the budget iPhone 9 or XC. It is the 6.1-inch model that predicts success and user preferences. Due to its low price compared to the two premium versions, the XC will be a hit. The model will be powered by Apple's new A12 chip, 4GB of RAM and a single rear camera. A key feature of the iPhone XC will be a large palette of about seven options.
XC features
- Thicker body than older XS and XS Max
- Face ID available
- RAM 3 GB
- There is only one camera on the back
- Dual SIM support for limited market
iPhone XS
The successor to the current tenth iPhone X, and second in a row, will be the 5.8-inch iPhone XS with an OLED screen. The model will also be powered by an Apple A12 processor with 4GB of RAM and a dual camera on the back. Face ID support will also be available for this model.
XS features
- Design similar to the flagship iPhone X
- Improved Face ID unlocking system
- More RAM
- improved settings for dual camera
- Improved battery life
- fast charging
- The iPhone XS will range from $ 800 to $ 900.
iPhone XS Max
The third, largest and most premium will be the iPhone XS Max. This model features a 6.5-inch OLED display with Face ID unlock support. The phone is expected to have a glass body and stainless steel bezels.
XS Max features
- Design inspired by the 2017 iPhone X
- Largest display in the range
- Face ID function
- Large 4GB RAM
- The dual camera will receive advanced settings in the classroom
- Fast charging support
Apple Watch Series 4
Usually, Apple introduces a new version of the iPhone in tandem with a smartwatch. There will be no changes this year, and the Apple Watch Series 4 will be introduced at the same time as the iPhone models. Feature of the new Apple watch will be a new and large screen with a smaller body and higher resolution.
iPad Pro 2018
The updated iPad Pro was expected to be seen in the spring, but then it did not happen. Now, we expect to see a new design for the 2018 iPad Pro. The latter argue about a large screen without a cutout and without the usual "Home" button. But, the new iPad Pro will feature Face ID to unlock the device.
iOS 12, watchOS 5, macOS Mojave - Release Date
On Wednesday September 12th at the "Gather Round" event, Apple will unveil a new version of iOS 12. The features we already know will be demonstrated on iOS 12 beta. It will also showcase new features and operating system capabilities for the 2018 iPhone XS lineup.
On Wednesday, Apple will announce a release date for iOS 12, possibly on September 18th. Likewise, they will present new versions of systems for Apple Watch 4 with all the chips and functions. The macOS Mojave release date will also be announced.
What else
Apple's September 12 Gather Round could add surprises as well. Perhaps there will be updated AirPods 2, AirPower or something else. It's of course important to see everything Apple is showing at this Wednesday's event. Still, the greatest attention will be given to the new Apple iPhone models.

Apple is holding its traditional annual New Product Showcase on September 12, 2018. Usually, the IT giant shows the world devices that set trends for many other manufacturers. As a rule, these are new iPhones, as well as iPads, sometimes iMacs and MacBooks.
There were no official announcements in 2018. But a few weeks before the presentation, analysts, journalists and bloggers have a lot of information about possible new products. So far, everything is based only on rumors and strange "leaks", such as a screenshot with images of the iPhone 9, which allegedly "accidentally" appeared on the Apple website for some time.

What devices will be presented at the Apple presentation
iPhone XS. This is essentially an updated flagship from last year. Probably there will be more performance, better cameras and better battery. The screen size is expected to remain the same - it will be a 5.8-inch OLED. The likely price is from $ 899.
iPhone XS Max (according to another version, iPhone XS Plus). This is probably a larger 6.5-inch version of the same iPhone X. Rumor has it that the flagship will have three main cameras and, perhaps, support for Apple Pencil. The likely price is $ 999.
iPhone XR (or iPhone 9) This is already a kind of medium-sized (6.1 inches) version of the iPhone X. The likely price - from $ 699.
iPhone SE 2. Hypothetically, Apple can announce this, the most budgetary version of its smartphone. The previous generation SE was wildly successful.
Apple Watch 4. Fans are looking forward to a larger display and advanced functionality (like gesture controls, lots of options for listening to music and podcasts, etc.). We will remind, earlier Apple introduced the operating system for the device - WatchOS 5.
iPad Pro-2018. Moreover, according to some reports, two versions will be presented - 11 and 12.9 inches.
iMac and MacBook-2018... Especially fans are waiting for the MacBook Air - Apple's relatively budget line of laptops has not been updated for several years.
AirPods. The new earbuds will, according to some reports, feature powerful noise cancellation, water resistance, and wireless charging.
