Apple CEO Tim Cook will join the ring for the next keynote on Tuesday.
The company announces “One more thing” to Apple legend Steve Jobs.
So it is clear: It's about a very big thing.
Apple
is already facing the third
keynote
this fall.
When invited to the virtual event, the Californians set the
bar
unusually high.
Now Apple fans are speculating what CEO
Tim Cook
might have in his luggage on Tuesday.
Munich -
Apple's
usual
*
product timetable
for autumn is actually very clear.
In September, the group presented the latest version of the iPhone in order to top it off with a smaller keynote in October - provided there are also new
iPads
or new
Macs
.
But in the
Corona
* year 2020, a lot will be different for the Californians.
As early as September, CEO
Tim Cook
* sent new iPads and the new
Apple Watch
to the start.
The
iPhone
* 12,
long awaited by many, followed in October,
and
Apple
now
wants
to go one better
in November
.
“One more thing”, promises the group in its invitation to
what will
probably be the last
Apple keynote of
the current year, reminding us of its legendary co-founder *
Steve Jobs
*.
On Tuesday (November 10th) from 7 p.m. German time, Tim Cook will take part in the next virtual
Apple keynote
.
And if everything is not wrong, it could be the biggest strategic decision since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007.

What the experts
expect
at the next
Apple Keynote
, how likely the individual products are - and what the company will save for later.
An overview:
Apple Keynote: Silicon Macs - 95 percent probability
Almost all
Apple
experts are practically certain that the group will present the first Macs with chips on Tuesday that no longer come from
Intel
, but from Apple itself. By 2022, all MacBooks and stationary iMacs should run entirely on in-house chips.
The new
Apple
platform is based on the architecture of the British specialist ARM.
The move is considered a milestone in the industry.
According to reports,
Apple
is likely
to upgrade its two most popular mobile computers
with the
MacBook Pro
and the
MacBook Air
.
The iMacs will follow later.
On the other hand, it remained open until the end whether the group would also drill the 16-inch brother of the MacBook Pro at the start on Tuesday.
The responsible
Apple
partner
Quanta Computer
is said to have had production problems recently, according to industry circles.
Therefore, the start could possibly be delayed, reported the Bloomberg news agency a few days ago.
In
2005,
Apple switched
its computers from the PowerPC architecture from
IBM
and
Motorola
to the significantly faster Intel chips.
With the radical cut,
Apple
boss Steve Jobs
wanted to
come back on par with the Windows competition in terms of computing power.
The bet worked.
According to an overview by market researcher
IDC
,
Apple
is
now number four worldwide with a market share of 8.5 percent.
Apple Keynote: Intel was obviously too slow for the Californians
But recently
Intel had lost
its nimbus as an innovation leader.
Apple
was increasingly dissatisfied with the pace of development of the world market leader, it was said from industry circles.
In addition, Intel had to struggle with massive problems when switching to the latest chip generation.
In June,
Apple
therefore pulled the rip cord.
In the future
, CEO Cook announced that the company
will use its own
ARM-
based chips
.
The company from
Cupertino
has years of experience
with the relevant semiconductors
, after all,
a chip from the ARM family was
already in the first
iPhone
.
For
Apple
users, this should bring two decisive advantages: First, all iPhone apps will run on all new Macs in the future, provided the new
macOS 11 Big Sur
operating
system is installed.
Second, the new system architecture promises significantly longer battery runtimes.
In the future, speculate
Apple-
Augurs, Macbooks could last 15 to 20 hours without recharging.
In addition, the new technology probably also allows flatter housings and a lower weight.
Apple Keynote: macOS 11 Big Sur - 95 percent probability
In addition to the new MacBooks with
Apple
Silicon, the group should also present its new operating system macOS 11 Big Sur on Tuesday.
It was only on Thursday that
Apple made
another beta version of the new operating system available to developers, Version 11.0.1.
The demands on the software are higher this time than usual, because in addition to the ARM platform, the new software must also be able to handle the widespread Intel architecture.
This is considered technically quite tricky.
Apple Keynote: AirTags - 50 percent probability
According to bloggers,
Apple
CEO Tim Cook
could
possibly
unpack
AirTags
on Tuesday
.
They are a kind of digital tag that is supposed to help you find lost keys or bags.
Apparently AirTags should send a broadband signal that can be located with the help of other iPhones.
Apple
applied for a patent to this
effect
last year.
The presentation of the new
Apple
search aids was originally
expected
for the
Apple
Keynote in October, but then did not take place.
Now Cook could open the cyber show on Tuesday with the AirTags.
With an estimated price of 25 to 30 euros, the AirTags could become the cheapest entry into the
Apple
world to
date
.
These patents of an #AirTags keychain that were filed a year ago now seem extremely likely. @ Jon_prosser previously announced that a leather carrying case would be sold separately.

Apple Keynote: AirPods Studio - 45 percent probability
Apple
could announce
the launch of a new line of headphones
on Tuesday with the
AirPods Studio
.
The AirPods Studio, located in the premium segment, are classic headphone headphones.
Technically, they should be based on the now widespread Bluetooth technology and thus be completely wireless.
Similar to the current
AirPods Pro
, the new premium headphones should also be equipped with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) as standard.
Okay, how about "One More Thing"?
After this November ARM Mac event, the next Apple Event (currently a digital event) will happen on Tuesday, March 16, 2021 🗓
Event headliner will be AirPods Studio (B515) https://t.co/UxqQr6je1c pic.twitter.com / oCxVhg3owb

They should also be able to be used during sports.
Bloggers speculate that the auricles and headband could be replaced depending on requirements.
In terms of price, the new high-end headphones could be between 350 and 600 dollars, depending on the features.
But the first reports about a possible entry of
Apple
into the market for headphone headphones have been around since 2018 - so far nothing has happened.
