He was downhill at the Apple Park HQ, talking to the camera from the iconic circular corridor by the curved glass panels. Then, a minute or so into his keynote, Cook was talking about the Apple Watch. No numbers that underlined another best-ever year. Yes, this was a different Apple Event.

The new Apple Watch will come packed with WatchOS that was announced at WWDC 2020 in June.
That's different. Tim Cook is speaking from the glass corridors of the Apple Park and not from Steve Jobs theatre as we have been used to recently. He's walking along the famed glass panels of this stunning Apple HQ.

Rumorus suggest that the upcoming iPhone 12 series could go official in the first half of October and release soon after. It is said that Apple will first release the iPhone 12 and Pro followed by the iPhone 12 Pro Max version.
Well, at today's Apple event sadly there won't be any iPhone. The tech giant has delayed the launch of iPhone 12 series due to the pandemic.

Tipster Evan Blass shared leaks about the upcoming iPad and Apple Watch products. The 4th-generation iPad Air aka iPad Air 4 was tipped to be powered by the new A14 processor and may shift to the USB Type-C port. It may have a similar design as the iPad Pro range, and the new model may also ditch Touch ID. Also, Apple is rumoured to launch the 8th-generation iPad that may be powered by the old A12X processor and still provide support the Lightning port.
The tipster also claims that Apple could also unveil the Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE models during the event. The Apple Watch Series 6 will be the successor of the Apple Watch Series 5 that was launched last year, whereas the Apple Watch SE will be an affordable offering – a first in Apple's wearable range aimed to target a different segment of smartwatches. The Apple Watch Series 6 is tipped to have the S4 processor which is a bit hard to understand because Apple Watch Series 5 came with the S5 processor. In addition, the tipster revealed that the Apple Watch Series 6 may come in two dial sizes including both Bluetooth and LTE connectivity.

Apple is rolling out a firmware update for the AirPods Pro. The new firmware is called 3A283. When you pair your AirPods running the iPhone with iOS 14, users can enjoy “spatial audio”, a feature that simulates surround sound.
In case you are not aware, Spatial audio is a feature what Apple calls a “theatre-like experience” for audio when you are watching a movie or playing video games. The feature essentially uses the sensors in your iPhone and AirPods Pro to provide an immersive sound. When you move your head in one direction or another, the audio changes to reflect that movement. Spatial audio is essentially a way of creating sound in 360 degrees.
