Mark Gurman and Jon Prosser both said that we won’t see a new iPhone, and both of them agree on very few things. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t get to see some exciting devices. Here’s what you can expect from tomorrow’s Apple event:
Two new Apple Watches
Apple will release two watches this time: the Apple Watch 6 and an affordable model (the Apple Watch SE?) to replace the Apple Watch 3 and compete with the likes of Fitbit. According to rumors, the company will release the Watch 6 in a new all-blue color. Plus, it’ll introduce fast charging — as indicated in the tweet below — to both of the new watches to aid WatchOS 7’s sleep tracking ability.

Bezel-less iPad
Apple’s iPad Pros have had this sexy design with minimal bezels. But the good old iPad Air is still stuck with old aesthetics. That might be changing this year as the company plans to introduce a bezel-less iPad Air. According to a leaked manual, the new iPad will have a 10.8-inch screen and USB-C port. It might not have the latest processor and the Face ID assembly for unlocking the device.
AirTags, Homepod, and subscriptions
Apple’s Tile-like item trackers have been rumored for a while. But we might finally see them at the event for the first time. According to Nikkei Asian Review, the company has already started producing these devices. It might also support an ultra-wide band for more accuracy than Bluetooth.

We’ll be keeping an eye on all announcements, so stay tuned to Plugged for all the action from the Apple Event. Did you know we have an online event about product design coming up?
