The event Spring Apple: catch up on all the news
Apple Watch prices and availability
Here's the big question: we know that the watch will be available from Apple for $ 349, but how much more will he go?
It seems like a very safe assumption that you will get the $ 349 Apple Watch Sport. With its aluminum body and synthetic rubber strap, this is clearly the cheapest option and to be sold to the masses. It is possible that there will be multiple configurations of Sport, but we still really know how Apple plans to sell this thing. Follow all Apple models are available in two different sizes, and we also know how much more the larger model will sell for the smaller model.
Even with all these issues, there is still much left to speculate. The first question is what will cost stainless steel standard Apple Watch. Apple pundit John Gruber of Daring Fireball, wrote a long article about the end of last month, he speculates that Apple Watch standard will have an average price of about $ 1,000, which sounds like a reasonable assumption. He also suspects that it may start lower, about $ 700, but could jump to over $ 1000 depending on what group it is associated with.
"How much for the gold watch?"
Then there is the issue that has received the most heated attention what will be the 18-carat gold Apple Watch Edition cost models? Many speculate that the price could be around what you would pay for a good analog watch. Gruber is in this camp, placing them among $ 10,000 and $ 20,000, also in terms of what they paired with the band. Marco Arment developer, on the other hand, wrote on his blog that he suspects these high assumptions could be off the mark, with the landing real price around $ 5000. In any case, it should be one of the more expensive products Apple currently sells, and everyone will be talking about any price Apple chooses.
Apple has said that the watch Apple will begin shipping in April. On Monday, he will announce the exact date, you'll be able to get it, and when pre-orders will start.
Tapes and Accessories
Customization is a big part of the Watch Apple, and - as with most watches - replaceable bands play a major role in this. Apple has already shown a number of groups during the introduction of the Apple event shows last year, but this time we should learn about the ones you'll actually be able to buy - and how you'll pay for them.
It seems likely that all sports bands will be available for sale. But the story could be different for leather and metal bands, especially since some of them have attachments specific body color. This can make them more expensive to sell themselves or simply impossible to sell, while sports bands all end in their own color, thus preventing this.
"Some groups might cost a lot more than others"
As for the bands third parties, we may have to wait to hear about it. Apple does not often discusses other stage accessories manufacturers, although it is encouraging manufacturers to make - another thing we do not know yet - can be found after the fact. The big exception might be if Apple, as compared to TechCrunch raises, provides a way for manufacturers to create smart groups that interface with the watch. Although it would be a nice addition, it does not seem in the cards - at least for this version of the watch.
Apple may also discuss a range of accessories for Apple shows. Greatest Apple products all dynamic ecosystems accessories, and part of that is because Apple monitors through a range of accessories. You can bet that in one way or anther, accessories will begin to appear for the Watch Apple soon. If Apple decides to make it official on Monday is not clear, but it is something to look for on the road.
Look applications
Apple has viewed a number of applications when introducing the watch Apple, but it will have a lot more to show this time. This is largely because of third-party applications: developers had the coding tools in their hands for almost four months now, and you can be sure that Apple will want to show the biggest and best on stage. Expect to see a lot of outside developers, eventually, large and small, and potentially even some Apple itself it did not show last year.
With preview applications, Apple may also detail what he does with the App Store to realize it. For now, it is possible that there will not be many changes. Applications Apple Watch will all run off of iPhone applications, so they can just exist within iTunes as they do today. Finally, Apple plans to make native applications at his watch, so Apple could have an App Store application to watch show. Otherwise, it may be something for another time, as when native applications become available later this year.
New MacBook
Apple is due to introduce a new laptop, and it is looking like Monday could be the day. Apple is expected to debut the Air successor - be it a new line of MacBook or just a new version of the Air - it is lighter, smaller, and better display well.
"A smaller, lighter laptop that eliminates all it can"
9to5Mac first detailed the new model in January, indicating that the laptop has a 12 inch screen, but in a body that is in most ways smaller than the 11-inch draft. Notably, Apple was said to the exploration of a version of the laptop that included only two ports: a headphone jack and the new connector USB Type-C - not even a separate power connector. It would be a bold and certainly move divisions, but it is probably prudent to expect an impressive little notebook later.
The new MacBook should be the first model in the line does not include a fan. It would be great news for anyone who is sick of not being able to hear the fan Netflix because their laptop is deafening. The laptop is also believed to be more than a clickable trackpad - you instead to rely on the taps. The keyboard according 9to5Mac, is also supposed to be slightly narrower than other MacBooks.
The new MacBook is planned for between April and June, according to the Wall Street Journal. This makes Monday a pretty good time for Apple to speak.
Updated MacBook Airs
Do not expect Apple to throw the old tune just because it introduced a new. Apple likes to hang older products and sell at different prices and should be little effort to make it look the base specification refreshing that this is due to.
The air was last updated in April 2014 to include Haswell processors from Intel. It is now a generation old, and it's a safe bet that Apple will want to Broadwell processors in them soon. Do not expect anything too exciting, but it should mean new tunes that are faster and have longer lasting batteries. If Apple does indeed introduce a new MacBook, there may be a lag price, too.
iOS 8.2
The Apple Watch can not function without talking to an iPhone, but first iPhones will learn to speak to the watch. This is all happening with iOS 8.2, which introduces support for Apple shows. Specifically, it includes a companion app Apple Watch that will allow you to change the settings of the watch, as there is much that is easier to do on the phone.
Otherwise, the iOS 8.2 update should be minor, including some bug fixes and improvements to the application of Health. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that you have to wait for iOS 8.3 for this awesome new emoji selector.
Do not expect: a larger iPad, a new Apple TV, or a streaming music service
Two great products that Apple is said to have in the pipeline will probably not be present on Monday. The most notable of these is the largest, 12.9-inch iPad, which more and more reports came out on last year. It seems very similar to something in the works, but the latest news, Bloomberg says that manufacturing on it should not start on it until around September. That would put its output in line with most other iPads, within the time October / November.
For some time now, Apple has also been said to have a new Apple TV in development. These reports have largely declined over the past year, apparently as Apple focuses on major projects that we expect to see on Monday. So hold on tight ... Apple will release a new Apple TV one day.
