Apple To Present The New, Redesigned iPad Pro 2018 and The Successor of the MacBook Air Series

Apple will hold tomorrow, Tuesday, October 30th, its last major event of this year, that will attract the attention of the entire world of technology, as we have already seen OnePlus change the date of the presentation of its new smartphone not to compete with the Cupertino-based tech giant. Several rumors are beginning to come out as we approach the presentation which looks like it will be more significant than initially thought, as Apple plans to reveal its new, redesigned iPad Pro 2018 model and the substitute of the MacBook Air series.

Apple will present the new and redesigned iPad Pro 2018 model

According to Bloomberg, the renowned news portal, up to three different devices would be announced tomorrow, Tuesday, October 30th, during the last Apple’s event of 2018.

The one we know for sure it will roll out tomorrow will be a new, redesigned iPad Pro 2018 model, whose main feature is that it would get rid of the Lightning connector to switch to USB-C, finally taking steps towards universalization of the connectors.

The new iPad Pro 2018 would boast a much better screen than its predecessors, with very thin bezels, with no Home button, but with Face ID (facial recognition) function for improved security.

Tomorrow, Apple would also reveal the successor of the MacBook Air series

The second device we know for sure it will be announced during the Apple event of tomorrow would be the substitute of the MacBook Air series.

The new MacBook device would come with a 13-inch display with higher resolution and which would boast a new design and some unique features that will distinguish it from its MacBook Air predecessors.

Besides, Apple might also present its new Mac Mini, but, according to some rumors, this new Apple device might not be ready in time for the Apple event which will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, October 30th.

Apple has sent out press invitations to attend the company’s event set for October 30th, in New York. We expect Apple to announce new tablets, computers, mini-PCs, and some accessories, as well. More specifically, the Cupertino-based company could reveal its new iPad Pro 2018, MacBook Air, and the new Mac Mini PC.

iPad Pro 2018

As Apple already launched its new iPhone 2018 devices and Apple Watch series, the new generation of iPad Pro 2018 tablets are expected to roll out during the upcoming event.

Apple, thinking about the 2-in-1 and convertible tablets that come from Windows, and without having a Mac with a touchscreen as an alternative, still considers that its iPad Pro tablets can replace PCs.

We expect two new iPad Pro 2018 models with screen sizes similar to the current ones, somewhere between 10 and 13 inches and high resolution. We don’t think Apple will jump to OLED displays for reasons of cost and panel supply. They will reduce the size of bezels to improve the screen-to-body ratio, enhance the potential of the Apple Pencil, and upgrade accessories such as the keyboard.

MacBook Air

After updating the MacBook Pro, the best-selling Apple personal computer series, it would be time to upgrade the MacBook Air line, as well. Apple is today a mobile company, more than anything else, and they don’t care much about their other products.

MacBook Air hasn’t been updated regarding hardware for years and, although it is still one of the Apple’s cheapest Mac notebook, it has been outperformed by its competitors and by new formats such as 2-in-1 and convertible tablets.

According to some rumors, a MacBook Air would be presented during the Apple event on October 30th. Also, it might boast a screen of between 12 and 13 inches with “Retina.”

It’s been four years since the smallest and cheapest Mac notebook has been updated, and as a result, some of the world’s biggest technology news and reviews portals recommended users not to buy these computers.

Tim Cook tried to lower the criticism by stating that “it’s not time to share the details, but Mac Mini will be an important part of the company’s product line in the future.” Accordingly, a Mac Mini 2018 could come labeled as a Mac Mini Pro and might boast the eighth generation Intel Core, DDR4 memories, among others.
