Apple is definitely developing a new generation of iPhone flagship models, which should be called iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. It is rumored that iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are completely waterproof, which is a step forward on the basis of some waterproof functions of iPhone 6s. Apple may also give up using Full Metal Jacket.
As Apple considers removing the 3.5mm headphone jack-users can only use Bluetooth or Lightning connection when connecting headphones or speakers, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus may be further slimmed down.
It is expected that iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be equipped with a faster A 10 chip, but iPhone 7 Plus may be equipped with 3GB of running memory, which is 1GB higher than iPhone 7, which will help stimulate users' desire to buy.
The most radical rumor is that Apple hopes to release the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus before the usual September release window. It is not clear how early the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be released, and September is still a possible release window.
iPhone 6c
IPhone5s and 5c
It is believed that Apple is developing a new 4-inch "affordable" iPhone called iPhone 6c, which is mainly aimed at users who think the 4.7-inch iPhone is too big. It is reported that the iPhone 6c is similar to the iPhone 5s in many aspects, including camera and color, but other hardware has been upgraded, such as A9 chip, 2GB running memory, larger 1642 mAh battery, and also supports Apple Pay.
IPhone 6c may be released as early as April, which is consistent with the rumor that Apple will hold a new product launch conference in March. It is reported that the second generation of Apple Watch is also the protagonist of the new product launch conference in March.
The second generation of Apple Watch
Apple watch
There are not many rumors about the second generation of Apple Watch. Except for its release in March, most rumors claim that it has only minor improvements, such as larger batteries and higher outdoor visibility. An unreliable rumor says that the second-generation Apple Watch supports a "smart wristband" very similar to Pebble Time, and users can enjoy new functions without buying a brand-new smart watch.
iPad Air 3
iPad Air 2
Apple didn't release the iPad Air 3 last fall, which is quite surprising. It is expected that Apple is developing a 9.7-inch iPad Air 3, which may be released as early as March. There should be many similarities between iPad Air 3 and iPad Air 2. It is not clear what elements it will learn from 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
It is not expected that the iPad Air 3 will be equipped with a 3D touch screen. It is said that Apple's supply chain faces many difficulties in supplying sufficient 3D touch screens for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
Apple laptop
Macbook Air 20 15
Apple may release a truly improved MacBook Air series notebook at the global developer conference in June, and the 20 15 MacBook Air has only a small improvement. Changes in the MacBook Air may include giving up the 1 1 inch model and adding the 15-inch model to make it as light and fast as possible. Many people have been expecting Apple to equip the MacBook Air with a retina display, but there is no news yet.
IOS, OS X, watchOS and tvOS.
There is little news about Apple's software upgrade. All four operating systems may be upgraded in the fall. If the iPhone is released in advance, iOS may need to be upgraded in advance. Apple should disclose the improvements of the new operating system at the global developer conference in June.
Mac hardware
Apple laptop
IMac, MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro should all be upgraded to Intel's latest generation processors, supporting new standards such as USB-C. At present, only 12 inch Retina MacBook integrates USB-C interface.
At present, a mystery about Apple's new computer hardware is whether it will upgrade Mac mini or Mac Pro, which have not been upgraded in 20 15 years. The Mac Pro has not been upgraded since the first cylindrical model was released two years ago.
Other hardware
Apple may also upgrade a lot of other products. For example, the resolution of Thunderbolt Display still can't reach retina level, AirPort Express doesn't support 802. 1 1ac, and other Apple WiFi routers-Airport Extreme and Time Capsule have supported 802.1ac for some time.
Apple may upgrade faster chips for iPad mini and iPad Pro in autumn, but there are no related rumors yet.
In theory, Apple TV may be upgraded to support 4K video and improve its competitiveness compared with similar products of Roku and Amazon. However, Apple does not upgrade Apple TV every year.
