When will the new iPad come out? Launch of the Apple Pay payment system in Russia

Apple tablets iPad series The Pro really managed to be a great replacement for the Air series. New iPad models Pro 2 should be improved, as is usually the case with the Cupertino team. Available tablets offer pen support Apple Pencil, an excellent system of 4 built-in speakers and more, but there are still some things we are really missing. For example, it would be nice to have a fingerprint scanner and a waterproof case.

Upcoming series iPad devices Pro 2 will obviously receive a more powerful A10X Fusion processor with four cores, but it is unknown whether the manufacturer will increase the amount of RAM. We hope the new iPad Pro 2 specs will include 4GB RAM. In addition to the 9.7 and 12.9-inch models, the Cupertino team can introduce a third model with a 10.5-inch screen diagonal. All of them will work out of the box on the basis of the operating system iOS systems 10.

• Apple A10X Fusion processor (10nm)
• 12 megapixel main camera and 5 megapixel front camera
• 4K video recording, live photos
• OLED screen with True Tone technology
• 32 GB of internal memory in the minimum configuration
• New color - pink
• Fingerprint scanner (in-display)

Earlier rumors said that future devices will have touch button“Home”, as in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, but now many experts are confident that Apple will abandon it altogether. So the fingerprint scanner finger touch The ID will be built into the display. Moreover, there is a possibility that the company will also get rid of the 3.5 mm audio jack, which would be logical given the recent release of smartphones.

Most likely, the iPad Pro 2 will be equipped with a connector USB Type-C so that it can be connected to MacBook Pro 2016.

Considering the fact that the original iPad Pro was announced in March of this year, its successor will be shown during the same period of time in 2017. There is no exact data because in such cases companies like Apple do not give early statements. We also can't be sure that all three models will be announced at the same presentation.

It's easy to predict the cost of tablets American company next generation. The price of the iPad Pro 2 in the simplest configuration will not exceed 50 thousand rubles. The current iPad Pro with a 9.7-inch display and 32 GB of internal memory costs about the same. Obviously, the new 10.5-inch model is enough to fill big gap between two other devices, and its cost will also be average.

The iPad Pro 2016 release date is likely to be in less than two weeks, in March 2016 at an Apple event. The new, smaller iPad Pro offers the best of the original iPad Pro in a package that's more like what you've come to expect.

It seems that Apple company is going to switch to the PRO name for the 9.7-inch iPad model, which consumers will see in March instead iPad Air 3, which featured in early rumors about Apple's new tablet.

In this article, you'll find the latest rumors about the 2016 iPad Pro, as well as what to expect from the smaller iPad Pro, which we're expecting this month to replace the iPad Air 3.

AppleiPadPro 2016: Release date

The younger iPad Pro will most likely be released in a week, at an event on March 21st organized by Apple.

This also means that the iPad Pro 2016 could go on sale as early as March 25th. Apple, as practice shows, likes to start selling its iPhone or iPad on Friday. Apple Stores Almost always open on Good Friday, but usually closed on Easter.

Apple iPad Pro 2016: When are sales?

It's possible that you could see the smaller 2016 iPad Pro on Good Friday (March 25) or Monday March 28th, exactly one week after release.

Another possibility involves pre-ordering the iPad Pro for 24 hours from release, with subsequent shipping later this week, with traditional sales starting on one of the two days above.

Whenever Apple plans to release new iPad, we are talking about the March 2016 event, where we should see the 4-inch iPhone SE and new accessories from Apple, including a watch.

Apple iPad Pro 2016: Design

We expect Apple to drop the Air branding at the end of the iPad name, replacing it with the PRO prefix, but the tablet will look exactly like you'd expect from the iPad Air 3.

9to5Mac reports that despite the name change, Apple will announce a smaller iPad Pro that looks very similar to the iPad Air 2. It is highly likely that the new iPad Pro will use a 9.7-inch display in a body that looks very similar to the iPad Air 2.

There will be some differences that will make the new devices stand out. Information leaks about the new iPad Pro 2016 indicate that the new product will be slightly thicker than the iPad Air 2. Apparently, new design tablet will also include Smart Connector, as on large iPad Pro, which will allow owners to connect accessories.

The new tablet is also going to have four speakers, just like the original 12.9-inch tablet.

AppleiPadPro 2016: Camera

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro doesn't offer an amazing photography experience, but that could change with the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, which is smaller and much more portable. We've seen plenty of people using their iPad as a camera for taking photos and videos, and the new 2016 iPad Pro could take things a step further.

Currently, it looks like the 9.7-inch iPad Pro will use a 12-megapixel sensor similar to what you'll find on the iPhone 6S. This solution should provide perspective photos with support for 4K video. It's not clear whether Apple intends to include a flash in the tablet's design, but some leaks point to the possibility.

Apple iPad Pro 2016: Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard

One of the most important functions What we want with the 2016 9.7-inch iPad Pro is Apple Pencil support. This is exactly what we expect from Apple with its new tablet. This solution will allow owners to take notes and draw using the Apple Pencil, which the company sells for $99 (RUB 7,500).

The presence of a Smart Connector on the side of the smaller iPad Pro means we should see a smaller Apple version Smart Keyboard for 9.7-inch iPad Pro. The price tag won’t get any lower, expect the same $169 (RUB 12,500)

AppleiPadPro 2016: Features and Performance

According to rumors, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro has many features in common with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. 9to5Mac reports that new model will include the same processor and RAM, as well as other matches.

Mark Gurman shares information from Apple sources who claim that the screen will be “noticeably brighter” than the iPad Air 2.

AppleiPadPro 2016: Price

We don't yet know how much Apple plans to charge for the new iPads, but we expect you could expect the cost entry level iPad Pro at $499 (RUR 37,000) for the 32 GB model. An upgrade for the iPad Pro 128GB could raise the price tag by RUB 7,000 or so, while the LTE model could cost you more than RUB 7,000. Expect more data from the Apple event.

Apple is preparing to surprise brand fans and market analysts again. Visitors to online forums are already discussing the advantages and disadvantages new Apple TV, they are wondering how successful the iPad Pro tablets will be, how much the autonomy of gadgets with iOS 10 will improve.

In 2016 year Apple will hold two important events, so preparations for them are being carried out as in last time. At each presentation, the next “big product” will be announced or launched, which will determine not only new vector development for herself, but also for the entire market. The year 2015, full of news and presentations, is coming to an end, it’s time to think about what the coming year will bring us.

iPhone 7

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will replace the current generation of Apple smartphones with 4.7- and 5.5-inch screens. Record iPhone sales 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, which sold 13 million copies in the first weekend alone, added to analysts' confidence in the success of Apple smartphones.

With a high probability, the iPhone 7 will receive a radically new design and will lose the Home button. To compensate for its absence, the company will make the display larger. The only question then is where Apple will put the fingerprint scanner. It is expected that the biometric module will be integrated directly into the glass of the smartphone. The iPhone 7 will have 3 GB of RAM, and the smartphone will be housed in a dust- and water-resistant case that can withstand complete immersion.

There's a good chance it's new Apple smartphone will lose a 3.5 mm audio jack, because in theory it is this that limits the thickness of the device.

iPhone 7c

Apple introduced the iPhone 5c in September 2013 along with the iPhone 5s, offering it as a more affordable version of the flagship. Therefore, the iPhone 7c with a 4-inch body may well perform in the same role at the September 2016 special.

Sources agree that the 4-inch iPhone will have a Touch ID fingerprint scanner and metal case, but, being a class “C” device, it will be deprived key features top models, such as 3D Touch technology. In addition, it is stated that the device will receive many color options, and its cost will be in the range from $400 to $500.

iPad Air 3

iPad Air 3 will be further development current generation full-size Apple tablets. No revolutionary changes in design are expected, especially given the radical reduction in the thickness of the iPad Air 2: Apple managed to reduce the waist of the tablet to 6.1 mm. Major improvements are expected in terms of the gadget's hardware capabilities. The device may find application new processor Apple A10 or A10X. iPad Air 3 may acquire support for the Apple Pencil stylus, its own analogue of the Smart Keyboard and a display with 3D Touch technology.

iPad mini 5

Tablet iPad mini fifth generation will be a miniature iPad version Air. He will debut alongside the third iPad account Air. According to preliminary data, the fifth “mini” will receive the same filling as the one released in the past iPad Air 2: 8-megapixel main iSight camera, A8X series processor, 7.9-inch anti-glare Retina display and 802.11ac Wi-Fi.

Apple TV 5

In 2016, Apple will show the fifth generation of the Apple TV set-top box. The company allegedly plans to launch trial production of the gadget by the end of December, and mass production of the device will begin at the beginning of 2016. Apple TV 5 should get significantly more powerful processor. The new “filling” will radically increase the performance of the set-top box, which will require the use of special elements to dissipate heat.

Apple TV 5 requires innovation, and Apple doesn't have any up its sleeve yet, but there are a number of small problems with the current set-top box that need to be addressed next year. Voice assistant Siri, although it supports most languages mobile devices, but doesn't want to talk to them on Apple TV. Siri Remote developer restrictions prevent refills App Store For set-top box worthwhile gaming masterpieces.

Apple Watch 2

In 2016, Apple will introduce the second generation of smart watches Apple Watch. It is known that new modification was in development long before the presentation original model, and the official display of the product is scheduled for the first month of spring.

ABOUT technical side Little is known about Apple Watch 2. According to unconfirmed information, the new generation of watches will have a built-in camera, a sleep analysis function and greater autonomy, both in terms of operating time and in terms of connecting the gadget to the iPhone. The Apple Watch 2 will gain a large following if it doesn't require an iPhone to use the device. Many users who were disappointed in the first generation of watches are ready to buy wearable electronics.

iPod touch 7G

iPod touch 7G is the most unlikely on the list Apple product. Device support with touch screen– almost complete iPhone analogue, but without a cellular module - impractical for many reasons. Introduced this year iPod touch 6G has been lost in the market, it has no obvious target audience, just as there are no prospects for the line of touch players.

4K Thunderbolt Display Monitor

Rumors that Apple is planning to release a line of monitors Thunderbolt Display, equipped with an ultra-clear Retina display, have been on the market since June last year. Two years ago at WWDC the company presented a productive workstation Mac Pro, which received support for 4K resolution. Latest MacBook models also support ultra-clear images. It is a matter of honor for Apple to release a proprietary image output device for owners of flagship PCs. Moreover, the last time the Californian giant updated the monitor was in 2011.

iOS 10

New edition of mobile operating system Apple - iOS 10 is considered the most anticipated release of Apple in the coming year. The official presentation of the platform is expected in June at WWDC 2016, after which developers and participants in the testing program will receive a beta build of the OS. In the operating system, users will see Apple's ideas for developing a mobile OS under the leadership of the company's chief designer Jonathan Ive, who in October 2012 headed the graphical interface design team.

“Top Ten” will be released simultaneously with the new iPhones and will receive a number of program changes, including new features for the iPad Pro, the potential of which is clearly not 100 percent revealed. Traditionally, many OS innovations are borrowed from the world of jailbreaking. Users expect a customizable Control Center, profiles, and more options for the Touch ID scanner (hiding apps, partial access restrictions, etc.).

iOS 10 will work on most devices that support iOS 9. Unfortunately, owners of the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 will most likely not be able to upgrade to the latest release.

OS X 10.12

At WWDC 2015, Apple made it clear that OS X releases will now follow mobile trends rather than set the tone. This is evidenced by the fact that the Metal graphics engine, which debuted a year ago in iOS, has only now been added to OS X. Thanks to it, graphics on Mac will run 40% faster. Function Split View also appeared in OS X in parallel with iOS and allows you to work in parallel with two applications on the screen. From Apple Watch new OS X inherited system font San Francisco.

However, the current OS X El Capitan feels like it's undergoing serious development. user experience. The Pinned Sites feature will allow you to pin frequently used sites in Safari, and the new Mute button- mute sound coming from any tab. The Spaces feature is designed to group applications and view them in separate screens- this way the user can divide his programs, for example, into work and personal.

Developers and users will have access to OS X 10.12 in the summer, with the final release scheduled for fall 2016. Like previous versions platforms, new platform will be distributed free of charge.

2015 once again turned out to be productive for the American tech leader Apple: iPhone output 6s and iPhone 6s Plus with 3D Touch display, new Apple TV, iPad Pro and Apple Watch. In addition, Apple introduced new software iOS provisioning 9, OS X El Capitan and watchOS 2. What awaits Apple fans in the new 2016? Brief overview new products for the coming year further under the cut...

Let's discuss some of Apple's prospects for the coming year. We are not sure that all the products listed below will launch, but there is every reason to believe so. After all, the network is already full of all kinds of rumors and forecasts.

Apple Watch 2 (early 2016)

The second one may be released in March 2016. Apple generation Watch, which will be equipped with new sensors and will receive a number of additional capabilities (determining the level of oxygen in the blood and blood pressure). The watch may be slightly thinner than its predecessor. Among the new functions it is possible to include FaceTime cameras for making video calls, as well as expanding capabilities through WiFi connection. The strap collection could also be updated.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (Late 2016)

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will most likely be released in September 2016. The display sizes will not change (4.7 and 5.5 inches), but fans can look forward to a new form factor. The antenna splitters on the rear of the case can be hidden, and the case can be reduced in thickness. We should expect improved technical characteristics: a powerful A10 processor, an advanced camera, an improved touch scanner ID, additional features 3D Touch. The 5.5-inch model can get 3 GB of RAM as an advantage.

According to rumors, the new generation flagships may lose the standard 3.5 mm jack in favor of using a universal Lightning port. There are suggestions that . From the latest rumors: .

iPhone 6c (early 2016)

In March 2016, Apple may launch a new 4-inch iPhone model - iPhone 6c. The device is designed for those who prefer compact size smartphone. The iPhone 6c will have an all-metal body with a curved display without 3D Touch technology. The heart will be the A8 or A9 processor, the RAM volume will be 2 GB to ensure proper performance. The camera will have an 8 MP matrix, HOME button a Touch ID fingerprint scanner will be integrated, NFC support will be enabled for making payments via Apple Pay.

iPad Air 3

The line of Air tablets was not updated last year. There is a high probability that the iPad Air 3 will see the light of day in 2016. About it technical characteristics ah little is known, but it is obvious that engineers will upgrade the processor and perhaps include new technology 3D Touch.

MacBook Air

The MacBook Air will likely continue to exist alongside the MacBook Retina, offering users a compromise between performance, price and portability. In plans Apple update 13- and 15-inch MacBook Airs will likely arrive in the third quarter of 2016. It would be reasonable to change the design of new products, which for a long time remained unchanged, add performance and increase battery life.

Retina MacBook Pro

While the 13-in. Retina model MacBook Pro has been updated to integrate a new Broadwell chip, the 15-inch version continues to run on Haswell processor. As Apple alternatives In general, it may release a new generation with Skylake chips. The rest of the technical specifications are kept secret.

Skylake Chips for Retina MacBook already available. This means that Apple could launch a new product in the very near future. The new chip offers more high performance(10-20% increase) compared to the Broadwell chips used in the first generation MacBook. We should also expect graphical improvements (graphics increase by 40%).

iMac (Late 2016)

There are no rumors about an update to this product yet, but an update should not be ruled out.

iOS 10, OS X 10.12 and watchOS 3

As part of WWDC 2016, Apple will present new mobile software iOS 10 and the next generation of the desktop platform OS X 10.12. The update may contain a number of design changes, plus users will find another batch of new functions. Apple Watch 2 will receive watchOS 3 update.

Other possible releases include a major tvOS update 10, fifth generation Apple TV launch, iPad output Pro 2 and iPad mini 5, Mac Pro and Mac Mini.

When will the new iPad come out and what will it be like? What will Apple present at its March presentation? Why do company shares rise on bad news?

This week, Apple insiders talked about when the new iPad will come out, what to expect at the March presentation, and which of the expected innovations are likely to bypass new iPhone side. In this news digest, we summarize the results of the past week for the apple layers of the smartosphere.

When will the new iPad come out?

The new iPad will be released in May or June, more exact date No one has yet decided to name it. Apparently, we will have to wait for the March presentation, at which Apple, as usual, will present the spring batch of new devices.

The release of the new iPad has already been postponed several times, and each time this was explained by the fact that work on updating the technical characteristics has not yet been completed. However, today the situation has changed somewhat, and many of the characteristics of the new Apple tablets by and large, are already known.

The new iPad will be released in three versions, which differ not only in display diagonal, but also in hardware. The youngest of the tablets will have a 9.7-inch diagonal and an A9X processor. The “modest” hardware by the standards of the Cupertino company is explained by the fact that this model is aimed at budget segment and “educational” purposes.

New iPad tablet Pro 2017 will be called iPad Pro 2. It will be the new flagship with a diagonal of 12.9 inches and top processor A10X, created using a 10nm process technology. Other updates are expected, including an increase in RAM to 6 GB and a 12 MP rear camera resolution.

An intermediate position between the budget phone with a 9.7-inch screen and the flagship with a 12.9-inch screen will be occupied by the iPad Pro with a diagonal of 10.5 inches. According to rumors, they plan to minimize the frames around the screen, so that it will be comparable in size to the 9.7-inch model. The hardware will be top-end - the A10X processor.

Given the rapid decline in the tablet market, to maintain volumes Apple sales must really offer buyers interesting models- technically more advanced and aesthetically more attractive. Let's remember that in 2016, the Cupertino company sold 42.5 million tablets, while iPhone sales stopped at 215 million (and this is worse than in 2015).

What will happen at the March presentation?

At a special March Apple presentations plans to present red iPhone 7, designed to revive the waning interest in iPhones of the seventh series. Another new product should be the iPhone SE with a volume internal memory 128 GB. By and large, the events are frankly passable, and only Cupertino residents can organize a presentation for the sake of such nonsense.

The new iPad Pro 2 tablet and its younger brothers may be the only interesting and truly significant figures in the March presentation. As for the new operating system iOS 11, it should be announced in the summer.

Briefly about news on iPhone 8

The news on the iPhone 8 is not very optimistic. There were problems with the 3D screen, so we are unlikely to see it on the anniversary iPhone. Wireless charging so far they promise, but a regular one, like Samsung’s. Without the fantastic range and ability to charge your phone up to 5 meters away.

There's a lot of talk about revolutionary facial recognition technology. They say that it will be useful for two-stage biometric identification iPhone owner 8, as well as for gaming and working with various applications.

These and some other news from Cupertino are described in more detail in the publication. By the way, the article contains interesting information about another increase in the price of Apple shares, which was caused by the words of a Morgan Stanley analyst that “that Apple problems in the Chinese market are greatly exaggerated.” You can read about these problems.

That's all for now. We follow the news, and you follow our publications!
