Every year Apple releases a set of new hardware, like the new iPhones, Watch, iPad, etc and this year is no different. This year an event is scheduled for September 15th with the title ‘Time Flies’.
Apple recently announced that the iPhones would face a few weeks delay because of the pandemic situation and the challenges which it has caused to the supply chain. Which now brings us to the question that what can we expect from the September 15th event. Most probably we sill see the launch of the new iPad Air and Apple Watch series.The ‘Time Flies’ event is scheduled to be live-streamed on YouTube on 15th September starting at 10:30pm IST.
Apple Watch Series 6
The new Apple Watch Series 6 is expected to have better blood oxygen monitor, a faster and better processor, and enhanced sleep tracking. If Apple sticks to its wearables design philosophy, the Apple Watch Series 6 could showcase the same design language we had seen Series 5. This year Apple could introduce a cheaper model of a smartwatch as well. It could replace dated entry-level Series 3. Although no specs were revealed, the cost reduction could be because of using cheaper materials in its construction.
Although it’s long been rumoured that Apple would employ micro-LED displays on its wearable but it might not be showcased this year. MicroLED tech would have allowed Apple to make the display brighter but at teh same time, it would have consumed more battery.
The Apple Watch Series 6 could see WiFi connectivity, which has been an issue with previous generation watches, improvements through the use of liquid crystal polymer.
As for pricing, cheaper Apple Watch model may be priced somewhere around $199 he Series 3 currently starts at $199 ( Rs 15,000 approx) and other variants may be priced between$200-$300 ( Rs 30,000 approx.). It will be facing challenges fromFitbit and Samsung of the world.
