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.

iPad Pro 2018, MacBook Air, and Mac Mini To Be Presented By Apple At The Event on 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.”

Mac Mini

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.

MacBook Air 2018 to Come Right in Time For Christmas

A lot of rumors state that Apple might launch an inexpensive device the end of this year. Earlier this year we were not sure if this laptop will be a new member of the MacBook Pro series, the MacBook lineup or it will be the replacement of the MacBook Air 2018.

All the leaks mentioned for the MacBook Air 2018 have been confirmed by a recent report, according to MacRumors. Quanta, the Taiwanese-based manufacturer, will make some new low-cost notebooks possibly for Apple.

Both Compal and Quanta are expected to ship as much as 10 million units for Apple and HP.

What will the new notebook be like?

Bloomberg News reporter Mark Gurman speculates that this new notebook will be a MacBook Air model measuring 13 inches at the possible cost of $999 or maybe less in the United States.

The current MacBook Air has a very similar prize to this new model. The new model might be another addition to the MacBook lineup. The current models which measure 12 inches come with the price of $1299.

Some other rumors

This September the tech giant Apple will also unveil a trio of iPhones the iPhone 9, iPhone 11 and iPhone X Plus, but the computing products might be reserved for October.

In October the company will introduce an iPad Pro with the new Face ID technology, a new Apple Pencil, and also the new MacBook.

The Mac lineup will be quietly launched with a lack of a media event, almost in the same way in which the new MacBook Pro laptops that got an eighth-generation processor from Intel.

Get ready for a new MacBook Pro, and maybe Santa will bring one to you if you are on the nice.

WWDC: Finally the Time for a MacBook Air Update

With Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference starting today, many users and fans of MacBook Air are wondering if any updates for this device will be announced. Last year’s WWDC gave us only a small modification of the CPU specifications, so maybe this time some more significant changes will be revealed.

Since 2008, when MacBook Air was first launched, this subnotebook belonging to the Apple family has not been changed much, with a last more or less important update dating back to 2015. When it comes to design, this device remains pretty much the same as it has been for the past 10 years. In the world of rapid advancement of technology, a decade without any significant changes is way too long.

There are two newer options: a slightly more powerful MacBook Pro and a device simply named MacBook. However, MacBook Air already has a large group of fans amongst Apple customers, especially since at $999 it’s regarded as good value for money. Even though this subnotebook remained virtually unchanged since its introduction, many users keep choosing it over the two more expensive models that we mentioned before. This wasn’t changed even with the launch of iPad Pro, which is being heavily promoted by Apple. It simply proves that there is still place for MacBook Air in the market.

Next move belongs to Apple. They have two options: they can either announce an update for MacBook Air at the WWDC event that takes place this week, or rather make a decision to stop supporting this version of the subnotebook and start promoting newer, more expensive products. As for now, the first choice seems to be more likely, however, Apple’s strategy of higher prices makes the future of MacBook Air uncertain. We look forward to this week’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in hope that we will learn more.

Macbook Air 2018 Release Date, Incredible Features and Improvements

Apple laptops have gone through many phases in recent years. A warning has gone a long way from the Macbook Plastic series to the MacBook Pro series, while MacBook Air has been replaced with the ultra-slim 12 “MacBook. It seems, however, that 2018 could be the one in which MacBook Air could return to public attention with an up-to-date and lower-priced design, which could provide more than ten percent increase in Apple laptop sales.

The date of launching is nearer than we expected

The MacBook Air 2018 is about to be produced in about 6 million units in 2018, so Americans have big expectations about sales of the new product. The big problem will be that the world hopes the new MacBook Air 2018 to be cheap, and with a Retina Display it could have a higher price than some of its customers would like.

To new MacBook will be available in the second quarter of 2018, with a lower price than the $ 999 at which the current MacBook Air is currently listed. The lower price would ensure an increase of 10-15% compared to 2017 for sales of Apple’s portable computers.

The incredible features, the new laptop has

The MacBook Air 2018 is expected to include a 13.3-inch diagonal screen retina, identical to the one used in the MacBook Pro, with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels. The new Retina screen for the MacBook Air 2018 will be bought by Apple from LG, after trying to buy cheaper screens in China but did not find the desired quality. The MacBook Air 2018 will have new screens delivered by LG from April, and production should have begun at the end of May or early June. Quanta will produce 70% of the units of the new MacBook Air 2018, while Foxconn will produce 30% of them, and the new laptop should be announced at WWDC 2018 in June.
