Such a transparent hint and more 350 different options for the design of invitations, no doubt, says that the company will show the new iPad Pro with advanced features for creativity. However, a huge number of leaks also points to other long-awaited announcements.

iPad Pro 2018

According to insiders, the new iPad Pro will get the screen in the entire front panel, following the fashion for a frameless design. The tablet will have two versions: the older one - by 12,9 inches and the younger one - by 11 inches, the diagonal of which will increase due to the narrowed frames.

In addition to the new A12X Bionic processor, the Home button will disappear in both versions, but Face ID and Anomoji support will appear. Unlike the iPhone, iPad 2018 unlocking will work in any orientation.

Most likely, the tablet will lose the 3,5-inch audio jack, and the proprietary Lightning will be replaced by a universal USB-C. It will allow you to connect additional accessories, among which will be external displays with resolutions up to 4K.

For the new iPad Pro will also introduce Apple Pencil 2 with improved features for drawing and magnetic mount. Unlike the previous generation, the stylus will be completely wireless, including the initial setup procedure. Apple Pencil will equip the W1 chip in AirPods, so that it can be easily connected to multiple devices.

iPad mini 2018

The compact Apple tablet has not been updated for more than three years, and it seems that the company decided to put an end to it. However, well-known analyst Ming Chi-Kuo predicts a possible announcement of the iPad mini 5 at the upcoming event. Details about the new product almost none. You can suggest the appearance of the chip A12X Bionic, but most advanced functions, most likely, should not be counted.

Updated MacBook Air

The long-awaited ultra-compact laptop, the output of which has been tipped for several years in a row, apparently, will finally appear. It is not yet clear whether it will replace the outdated MacBook Air or will become an updated and more affordable version of the current MacBook lineup.

The novelty will definitely get a Retina-display with a diagonal from 12 to 13 inches, a modern hardware platform based on Intel processors of the eighth generation, as well as 8 GB of RAM and USB-C ports. At the same time, the price of the new MacBook will be in the 1 000 area of ​​dollars for the initial configuration.

New Mac mini

Another popular Apple computer that has not received updates for more than four years, according to rumors, should also be shown at the presentation. The new Mac mini will be more focused on professionals and at the expense of powerful stuffing will be somewhat more expensive.

Sources agree that the computer will be equipped with Intel Coffee Lake processors with Iris Plus 655 video chips or with new Whiskey Lake. The minimum amount of RAM will increase from 4 to 8 GB. In addition, USB-C ports and support for 4K monitors will appear. There is also the possibility of having Fusion Drive hybrid drives in an entry-level configuration.

AirPods 2

Some sources claim that Apple may show the next generation of its compact wireless headphones. In addition to W2 chips and moisture protection, among the innovations AirPods 2 can provide support for wireless charging, noise reduction, as well as Siri voice activation and the function of measuring the pulse.

AirPower

With Apple's proprietary wireless charging, something didn’t work, and now there is an ambiguous situation because of this. The company prefers not to mention the device announced last year, but there is information about AirPower in the instructions for the iPhone XS and XS Max. If the charging mat is still destined to be, then we will probably find out about this October 30.

What else

At this flow of rumors does not end. If you believe other insider information and the findings of journalists, Apple may also surprise us and show some more new products.

• iPhone SE 2 - in the iOS 12 code, the developers found mention of two models of smartphones with iPhone 9,8 and iPhone 9,9 identifiers that were not previously encountered. This could mean a new iPhone SE or an updated version of the iPhone 8.
• iMac 2018 - there is an opinion that Apple will show the new iMac with 8K-inch 31 display, support for True Tone and FaceID technology. Considering the monoblock 20's anniversary, it would be beautiful.
• Thunderbolt Display 8K - ending with Thunderbolt Display warehouses can also get a cool update and a new panel with 8K resolution, HDR support and an increased diagonal.

Recall in September the company Apple introduced three new smartphones iPhone XS, XS Max and XR. All of them are made in the likeness of the iPhone X - with a “frameless” screen and a “chelochka” in which the Face ID is hidden (the “Home” button with a fingerprint sensor is no longer present).
