The next Monday in Cupertino, the big Apple Event around the awaited for years and still nameless TV/Streaming service instead of (Five things that we’d rather have than an Apple-Netflix).
One of the open questions, the last days was, whether the Apple will be presenting at the Event new devices. The speech was in addition to the new bracelets for the Apple Watch, from the wireless charging Mat, Airpower, new iPads, new Airpods and improved iMacs.
Earlier-than-expected
Somewhat surprisingly, Apple has now been today, a week before the big presentation, without much fanfare, two new iPads introduced in the own Webshop and to the range.
The logic behind this is obvious: Apple wants to prevent that the new Tablets steal on the next Monday, the announcements around the TV/Streaming service the Show.
But what was presented today? Here is the Overview:
iPad Air: The new Air looks, at first glance, the assortment of fallen iPad Pro 10,5 confusingly similar. It harmonizes with the pen and has a connection for a keyboard. Also the screen has a diagonal of 10.5 inches in the same Format. The presumption is that Apple has equipped simply, the long-serving iPad Pro 10.5 with new technical innards, and a new name. With a starting price of 580 Swiss francs (without the keyboard and pen), it is likely to remain an interesting Alternative to the more expensive Pro-iPads. No need to miss in the first line to the almost edge-to-edge screen, and the USB-C connector. Who wants to save, but will continue with the normal iPad that can be found regularly for under 350 francs, even better.
iPad Mini This will please the Fans of the smallest iPad. Finally, there is the latest technology. The iPad Mini looked good for years, as if it would fall soon from the range. But now it is back. However, it is no longer the cheapest iPad. New it costs a minimum of 450 Swiss francs. For this you can use it with the pen.
Both of the new iPads use the Lightning connector (not USB-C), and continue to have a Home button.
With the new iPads had been expected. Other devices, such as the Airpower Mat, upgraded iMacs, new headphones, or a spring collection of watch straps has not presented to the group today. Whether the will now be announced on the following Monday, or in the meantime or thereafter, by press release submission?
