Apple is about to launch its new iPhone, and the
next generation Apple TV at its event on September 9. And if you were hoping
for new iPad as well, you might be in luck as we have rumoured iPad Pro with
iPad mini 4 also seem to be on the cards for an unveil at the event.
Apple has tradition of hosting a separate launch
event for its iPad, usually a month after the launch of its new iPhone, but
this time apple may launch both together.
Starting with the iPad Pro, the 12-inch tablet has
been in the news since 2014. Previous reports have suggested that the iPad Pro
will come with several OS X features. The new report says that the iPad Pro may
come with Force Touch, a hardware capability Apple introduced with Apple Watch
which senses the amount of pressure one is putting on the display, and triggers
actions accordingly. It was expected that the iPad Pro would offer multitasking
features like support for split-screen, but Apple has already introduced such
features with iOS 9. The new report said that the device will start shipping in
November after opening the pre-orders in October.
The iPad mini 4 is coming as well, as per the same
report with major improvements from iPad mini 3. The iPad mini 3 offered minor
hardware changes over the iPad mini 2, which disappointed all of us. The iPad
mini 4 will be thinner than the iPad mini 3, and equipped with a faster
A-series chipset processor. The new iPad mini is also expected to sport a
better pair of camera sensors.
Multiple reports are offering more details about
the next-generation Apple TV, which is also expected to launch at the event.
9to5Mac reports that the next generation of Apple TV box will lack support for
4K video streaming, and will also not come with any new ports. The report
further revealed that the new Apple TV will come in two storage variants: 8GB
(much like the current generation's offerings), and 16GB. The former will be
priced at $149 (roughly Rs. 9,800), while the latter would slightly break the
bank at $199 (roughly Rs. 13,100).
The new Apple TV will sport separate App Store for
deep support for gaming, and run on iOS 9 Core. It is expected to be powered by
the A8 chip, the same processor which Apple used in its last year's iPhone
models - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Earlier reports had also suggested that the new
Apple TV will come with an improved remote that will have motion sensors, and
dedicated button for Siri, Apple's digital voice assistant. A report on
BuzzFeed confirms the above information, and further reveals that the Apple TV
will feature universal search. The feature will allow users to search for a
movie or TV show from multiple sources at once.
Apple will hold the event at Bill Graham Civic
Auditorium in San Francisco on September 9. The company is also expected to
launch the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus at the event.
