Apple might be looking to overcome the issue by announcing a new MacBook model with an improved keyboard, but do keep your hopes of a major redesign in check.Īs for the Mac Pro, a design overhaul is long overdue, and if reports are to be believed, the new Mac Pro will finally ditch the cylindrical form factor in favor of a modular design. In addition to a new MacBook Air, there is also a high chance that Apple might refresh the MacBook Pro and iMac Pro with the latest 8th Gen Intel Coffee Lake processors, as well as newer graphics options.Īpple has also received backlash for the MacBook’s new ‘butterfly’ keyboard, which quickly gets jammed with the slightest amount of dust or debris accumulation, rendering them almost unusable. Q2 ends in June, so there’s still time for Kuo’s analysis to be right.

And of course, new iOS wallpapers are also likely to make an appearance at the event.Įarly reports say that the new macOS update (10.14) will focus on security features, and as per a recent leak, Apple might also redesign the Mac App store along the same line as the iOS 11.Īpple is rumored to launch a refreshed MacBook Air with Retina display in 2018, and as per renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a new MacBook Air will be launched in Q2 this year. Currently, users have to hold the device in portrait mode to let the True Depth sensors recognize their face and unlock the device, however, it might change with iOS 12. Some tweaks in FaceTime can also be expected, alongside ‘ a merger of the third-party applications running on iPhones and Macs’. There are also reports that iOS 12 will finally add landscape mode support for Face ID authentication. We also expect to see improvements to ARKit, and will find out more about how Apple is improving phone-life balance for iPhone users, as well as enhanced parental controls in iOS. Another thing we expect to see is a redesigned Camera and Photos apps, along with announcements about Animojis for the iPhone X.Īpple also dropped a subtle hint about a new voice for Siri recently, which might sound less synthetic and more human, much like the new voices for the Google Assistant.
