We have been hearing rumors about an Apple event for the new iMac, iPads, and more for some time. It is possible this event could take place this month, and recent developments have added more fuel to the speculation.
Apple’s Siri has apparently revealed the date of the event, Tuesday the 20th of April, as can be seen in the photo above.
According to MacRumors, if you ask Siri when the next Apple event is, it will respond with, “The special event is on Tuesday, April 20, at Apple Park in Cupertino, CA. You can get all the details on Apple.com.”
We did ask Siri the same question here in the UK but did not get the same response, so Apple has obviously now removed this from Siri. If the event is taking place next Tuesday, the 20th of April, then we would expect some sort of announcement later today.
What to Expect from the Event
The event is expected to be an online-only event, continuing the trend of virtual announcements due to the ongoing global pandemic. Apple has successfully hosted several virtual events over the past year, and this one is anticipated to follow a similar format.
New iMacs
One of the most anticipated announcements is the introduction of new iMacs. Rumors suggest that Apple will unveil a redesigned iMac with a more modern aesthetic, possibly featuring slimmer bezels and new color options. Additionally, there is speculation that these new iMacs will be powered by Apple’s own silicon, moving away from Intel processors. This transition to Apple Silicon is expected to bring significant performance improvements and better integration with macOS.
New iPads
In addition to the iMacs, new iPads are also expected to be announced. The iPad Pro lineup is rumored to receive an update, potentially featuring a mini-LED display for improved brightness and contrast. There are also whispers of a new A14X chip, which would bring the iPad Pro’s performance closer to that of the M1 Macs. This could make the iPad Pro an even more compelling option for professionals and creatives.
Other Possible Announcements
While the new iMacs and iPads are the main attractions, there could be other surprises in store. Apple might introduce new accessories, such as updated AirPods or a new Apple Pencil. There is also the possibility of software updates or new services being announced.
Impact of the Event
Apple events always generate a lot of excitement and speculation, and this one is no different. The potential introduction of new iMacs and iPads could have a significant impact on the market. For consumers, it means more choices and potentially better performance and features. For competitors, it means stepping up their game to keep up with Apple’s innovations.
Market Reactions
The stock market often reacts to Apple events, with shares typically seeing a boost following major announcements. Investors will be watching closely to see what new products are unveiled and how they are received by the public.
Consumer Expectations
Consumers have high expectations for Apple products, and the company has a track record of delivering innovative and high-quality devices. The rumored updates to the iMac and iPad lines are eagerly anticipated, and any new features or improvements will be closely scrutinized.
As soon as we get more information about the event, we will let you guys know. Stay tuned for updates and be sure to mark your calendars for April 20th.
