‘Time flies’: how to watch the Apple launch September 2020?
This year’s launch is clearly very different to the previous ones due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic that has seen most large public events cancelled. Thankfully, tech is our friend and the use of streaming services ensure that the show can go on.
Just as it did when it hosted June’s WWDC 2020, Apple will share this presentation virtually and can be accessed via the Apple Events webpage. It is also available on Apple's official YouTube channel and we have embedded this below for your ease of access.
‘Time flies’: what can we expect from Apple?
As stated above, the understanding is that there will be no iPhone reveal in the September launch. But this does not mean that it is not worth keeping a close eye on developments. Here is some of what we are likely to see:
Apple Watch Series 6 - the next-gen wearable is expected to have a built-in blood oxygen monitor along with the other health aspects.
Apple Watch SE - if you’re looking for a more affordable wrist option with all the popular features, this could be right up your street.
iPad Air 4 - likely to look a lot like the iPad Pro selection, this new tablet is believed to be unveiled under the name ‘iPad Air (2020)’.
Apple One - a new subscription package will be offered to customers with a choice of tiers and potentially more iCloud storage.
Other gadgets that could be seen included the AirPods Studio, the headphones that we expected to see at the beginning of the year, as well as AirTags, the small tiles that help you locate objects such as keys, bags and wallets. And then there’s Apple Arcade’s streaming options.
