All the rumors about Apple iOS 12, iPad Pro, iPhone, etc. in 2018

The company's annual Global Developers Conference provides clues about the way forward for next-generation operating systems and software applications for Apple's iPhone, iPad, Macs, watches, HomePod speakers and Apple TV players. The show, held June 4-8 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, Calif., will also allow third-party developers to talk to Apple executives, engineers, and product designers.

Apple takes the OS, applications, services and software frameworks that will be introduced later this year. However, Apple sometimes uses spotlights to introduce new hardware.

There may be new iPad Pro, MacBook, etc.

When Apple CEO Tim Cook came on stage on June 4, don't expect to see a new high-end iPhone or a new Mac Pro. The sequel to iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus is expected to be as usual. In September, Apple has confirmed that the new Mac Pro will not arrive until 2019. Similarly, HomePod speakers and entry-level iPads are basically new, released in February and March.

But there are four product categories here, and there is a nice refresh in June:

MacBooks and iMacs: Apple refreshed almost all laptops and desktops at WWDC last year. Now, one year later, moving this product line to the latest 8th generation Intel processor will be a simple and boring upgrade. Whether this will lead to greater design reforms - such as rethinking the problematic Butterfly Keyboard and the still controversial Touch Bar feature on the MacBook Pro laptop - will be canceled. The same is true of the MacBook Air, which has been rumored to be a comeback mode.

Advantages of the iPad: Apple brought an important feature of the iPad Pro series (compatibility with the Pencil stylus) to the new entry-level iPad launched in March. The traditional view is that it is now possible to develop a higher-priced iPad Pro model to improve the iPhone X design: perhaps you can switch the home button and add a Face ID.

iPhone SE 2: As we said, the iPhone's large upgrade is expected to be within the standard timeframe of September. But there are rumors that the iPhone SE is an entry-level iPhone launched in March 2016 and is expected to be upgraded. Whether it's a full-screen iPhone X design (which seems unlikely) or just a specification upgrade in the same organization (more likely) is unknown.

Apple AirPower: When Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of global marketing, launched the multi-device charging board with iPhone X in September 2017, he said it will be launched next year. So, although you can't say that it's "late" before January 1, 2019, one has to assume that Apple wants to get the accessory on the store shelf before its first anniversary. WWDC will be an excellent opportunity to announce pricing and availability - maybe we can also see AirPower compatible AirPods case.


Other things we didn't expect on June 4: As for other Apple hardware, almost anything else would be a big shock. Don't expect new Apple Watch, Apple TV box, second-generation AirPods or mini HomePod speakers. While Apple may spend more time discussing AR Kit -- its software toolset for bringing augmented reality to iOS -- and virtual reality on the Mac, it certainly won't expect any hints from Apple AR / VR headsets. The company is clearly fiddling with closed doors - if any, is expected to be close to 2020.

However, you will find that almost all of the above software and operating systems have a large number of new software and operating systems.

iOS 12: Prioritize quality rather than quantity

After overcoming a series of flaws and glitch, it has weakened the reputation of iOS 11 - including the controversial "deliberately slowing down the iPhone" "features" - allegedly, Apple will focus on the mobile version of the upcoming mobile version of the quality and Innovative operating system, ostensibly called iOS 12.
