Apple usually presents its new high-end smartphones in September each year.
Although everything seems to indicate that in 2020 we will have to wait longer than usual to know the iPhone 12 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the company will hold an event this Tuesday and there could be surprises.
In this presentation, which will take place at seven in the afternoon (Spanish local time), other devices such as the Apple Watch Series 6 or the fourth generation of the iPad Air or a headset are expected.
The event will be broadcast live on YouTube and the manufacturer's website from its headquarters, Apple Park, which is in Cupertino (California, USA).
Apple Watch Series 6
"Time flies".
It is the slogan that Apple has chosen for the event it will celebrate this Tuesday.
The company is expected to present a new version of its high-end smartwatch.
Rumor has it that the Apple Watch Series 6 will feature a more powerful processor, improved sleep recording, and a sensor that supposedly could measure oxygen in the blood.
How useful this feature can be remains to be seen.
The Center for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) at the University of Oxford indicates that there is no evidence that the technology used by smartphones is accurate to measure oxygen saturation in the blood.
"The scientific basis for such technologies is questionable," he says.
Apple Watch SE
The tech giant could also launch a new, more affordable smartwatch to replace the Apple Watch Series 3, which can be purchased from € 229, as Bloomberg points out.
With such a watch, Apple could try to capture the attention of a wider variety of users.
But at the moment, the details of this device are unknown: from the features to the price or the name.
Will it be called Apple Watch SE in reference to the company's cheapest smartphones?
iPad Air 4
The iPad Air 4 could have a different design than its predecessor and similar to the iPad Pro, according to Bloomberg.
The device would go to have thinner bezels and would abandon Touch ID - the fingerprint recognition sensor - thus increasing the size of the screen.
Instead, it would incorporate Face ID - a facial recognition system that allows anything from unlocking the device to authorizing purchases or logging into different apps.
Some rumors indicate that the iPad Air 4 will have a USB-C connector instead of the traditional Lightning as it was done with the iPad Pro in 2018. The European Union has been trying for years to get technology companies to bet on a universal charger.
AirPods Studio
Apple could also present

They would have active noise cancellation and a head and neck detection that would work in a similar way to the automatic ear detection of the AirPods.
Also, they would have ear pads and headbands that could be adjusted magnetically.
The goal would be for them to be easily interchangeable, like the Apple Watch straps, and the user could thus choose the design they like best.
The price of the AirPods Studio, according to the same portal, would start at 349 dollars - about 290 euros.
AirTags
Some leaks indicate that Apple will also debut in the market for object locators with AirTags.
These devices would be designed to be placed in those belongings that users usually lose or leave in different places.
For example, a keychain, a purse or a purse.
Thanks to Bluetooth technology, Apple would allow them to be located at any time with the smartphone.
The design and details of the AirTags are still unknown.
But it is hoped that they can emit sounds to make it easier to find them or that the user can receive an alert on the iPhone when they move too far from them.
iPhone 12
Apple confirmed in July that the launch of the iPhone 12 was going to be delayed this year by a few weeks, according to the specialized technology portal The Verge.
Some analysts like Mark Gurman indicate that the terminals will not arrive until October.
But, will Apple at your event give a final surprise with the traditional phrase "one more thing" (one more thing) that personalities such as the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, have spoken moments before presenting their flagship devices?
Some suggest that the company could unveil up to four new iPhone models - iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Max, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max - that would be compatible with 5G networks for the first time.
Others consider that Apple could announce the date of the event in which the new terminals will be presented.
