in the run-up to the
Apple keynote in

been unable to place orders for maintenance work

Apple Keynote: iPhone manufacturer is coming tonight with a completely new product category
Update from September 15, 10:21 a.m.:
Apple
is apparently about to introduce a new product category.
It could be called
AirTags
and with
prices
starting at 25 or 35 dollars,
it could be the
cheapest option for
entry into the Apple cosmos.
AirTags could possibly be as big as bottle caps and, for example, help to find lost keys.
It would be the first Apple accessory in Apple's corporate history.
In the past few weeks, bloggers had repeatedly
speculated
about
AirTags
, but so far could not substantiate their assumptions.
But on Monday, images appeared for the first time that
should come very close to
the final
AirTags
.
According to speculation,
Apple
could
rely on Bluetooth and ultra-broadband instead of the complex GPS technology.
The AirTags could also help parents keep track of where their children are.

Apple Keynote: Products, prices and probabilities - Apple fans can look forward to these innovations
First report from September 14th, 3:25 p.m .:
In the run-up to the
Apple keynote
tonight (September 15, 2020) observers are speculating which innovations the iPhone manufacturer might have in stock.
What the augurs expect, how likely the individual devices are and what remains in the pipeline for the time being.
An overview:
Apple Watch Series 6 presented at Apple Keynote?
95 percent probability
The fact that
Apple will
announce the latest generation of
Apple Watch
on Tuesday
is practically certain.
The group had reliably improved the battery life in the previous versions.
With the version presented in September 2019,
Apple
did not do that at first glance.
In fact, the battery life is longer, because the display of the Apple Watch Series 5 is permanently on.
In the previous versions, the display only responded to movements of the wrist.
Join us for a special #AppleEvent.
Watch on September 15 at 10:00 am PDT.

In addition to the mileage, Apple should also
improve
the
tracking of the heart rate (ECG)
.
In addition, many observers expect that the latest version can also measure the oxygen level in the blood.
However, there had been several speculations in the past few years before Apple keynotes without the Californians actually installing this function.
There are also improvements to the fitness app and possibly a new entry-level version in a cheaper plastic housing.
Among other things, the group is targeting parents who want to buy their children a reasonably cheap watch.
The prices for the
Apple Watch Series 6
should start at 399 dollars.
The plastic model could be cheaper accordingly.
Apple Keynote in September 2020: AirTag - 75 percent probability
According to bloggers, Apple is about to introduce a new generation of products.
It could be called
AirTags
and with
prices
starting at 25 or 35 dollars,
it could be the
cheapest option for
entry into the Apple cosmos.
AirTags could possibly be as big as bottle caps and help to find lost keys, for example.
Apple Keynote: iPad Air - 70 percent probability
A new version of the
iPad
including the latest chipset seems pretty likely for Tuesday.
The
design of the
iPad Air
4 could be based on the current iPad Pro line and thus have flat edges.
In addition, the home button is probably a thing of the past.
Apple could possibly switch to face recognition (FaceID) instead of the iPad Air.
Expectations are mixed when it comes to price.
However, in the run-up to the
Apple keynote
in September 2020,
most experts expect
entry prices from 599 or 649 dollars.
Apple Keynote in September 2020: iPhone 12 - 55 percent probability
The starting position for the iPhone * is somewhat tricky.
Numerous Apple experts believe that CEO Tim Cook will not bring the flagship product on Tuesday, but only in October.
However, the invitations to journalists point to Tuesday. * Because
Apple
has
packed an augmented reality application into it.
It requires an iPhone or at least an iPad.
However, there is consensus in the scene about the possible number of planned iPhone versions.
After that, there will be two entry-level versions with 5.4 and 6.1 inch displays.
There are also two iPhone 12 Pro variants with 6.1 and the 6.7-inch display planned for the first time on the iPhone.
The top devices could also have an additional camera for telephoto recordings.
The two
iPhone 12
entry-level variants must probably do without the extra lens.
Before the Apple Keynote in September 2020, it is also reasonably certain that the manufacturer - as with every generation - will use a new, faster chip (A14) and also support the new 5G standard for the first time.
Other competitors such as Samsung have had the necessary chips in their top models for a long time.
In addition, the housing will be adapted and borrowed from the iPhone 5 with the rounded corners.
In terms of price, the new iPhone 12 could cost between $ 649 and $ 1399, depending on the version.
Macbook with Apple chip - probability 5 percent
At the virtual developer conference in June, Apple surprisingly announced the departure from
Intel processors
.
Instead,
MacBook
and Co. are to run more and more frequently on processors developed in-house instead of Intel chips.
The first
Mac
computers with
Apple silicon should be
available
at the end of the year
.
The Californians have long been developing their own processors based on the architecture of the chip developer ARM.
Only at the weekend, the US giant
Nvidia
announced that it would take over the British chip manufacturer for up to 40 billion dollars.
However, the announcement of a Mac with an Apple drive at the keynote on Tuesday is almost impossible.
Because with the bet on its own Apple chips, the group has made a fundamental change in strategy that would justify its own event.
And even if Apple had already finished the first Mac with its own processor, against the background of the announced takeover by
Nvidia
with the US company, the company would definitely reassure itself that everything is OK before new products are launched
ARM
base would come into the shops.
The
Apple
event starts tonight (September 15) at 7 p.m. German time.
We ticker live.
Editor's note: We have increased our assessment of a possible presentation of the AirTags to 75 percent because of the photos that appeared for the first time on Monday. In the first version of this text, we estimated the probability of the AirTags to be 25 percent due to missing evidence.
