Not long ago, Apple officially announced that the conference would be scheduled for 1 a.m. on April 21. On the eve of the conference, we might as well learn about a wave of new products that will appear at this conference in advance through domestic and foreign revelators.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a0fece4554a9679bf8d9057401f3db0\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"551\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00ed238724a9e65ebdd76ef29f452a26\" tg-width=\"107\" tg-height=\"38\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The new iPad Pro may be equipped with A14X and Mini LED, and the overall price will riseIf this conference is bound to release a new product, then the new iPad will definitely not be absent. Looking back at past Apple spring conferences, iPad is almost the protagonist without exception, and I believe this year will be the same.It is reported that in terms of design, the iPad Pro will not change much this year, still using 11-inch and 12.9-inch models.In terms of performance, in fact, as early as last year, Apple used the A14 chip in the iPhone 12 series, and the A14 used a 5nm chip process, and adopted a 6-core CPU design, a 4-core GPU, and a 16-core NPU. Shortly after the launch of the iPhone 12 chip, the fourth-generation iPad Air also featured this chip. Up to now, A14 can also be called Apple's most powerful chip to date.At the upcoming press conference, if the new iPad Pro wants to surpass the past, it will inevitably bring an upgraded version of the chip. According to foreign media 9to5Mac, the application of the A14X chip was found in the source code of iOS 14.5 Beta. Based on this, it is not difficult to guess that the new iPad Pro will be equipped with a new processor, or named A14X. It is reported that the performance of this processor is equal to that of the M1 chip installed on Mac in the second half of last year.In addition, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with a new display Mini LED. In this regard, Apple analyst Ming-chi Kuo said that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro using Mini LED will begin mass production in mid-to-late April 2021. At present, Mini LED has been successfully launched in high-end 4K TVs. If this display is used in iPad Pro, it will undoubtedly achieve higher contrast, brightness, color and other performance improvements.Unfortunately, according to foreign media \"Nikkei Asia\", due to the global chip shortage, the delivery of some important components in iPad and MacBook has been delayed, and the release of new products may also be delayed.However, the latest news says that Apple supplier Ennostar has greatly increased the yield of mini-LED chips and is expected to expand its iPad Pro production from later this month.In addition, Apple will also enhance the camera of the iPad Pro. At the same time, according to foreign tipster Mr ` White, its accessory Apple Pencil will also be newly upgraded, and the new Apple Pencil has a smoother surface and a longer nib. In fact, through the invitation letter of this conference, many netizens speculated that it was drawn through Apple Pencil.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8803141b517340abf7055a8737544f53\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"749\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">As for the pricing of the new iPad Pro, although no news has been revealed at present, it is not difficult to imagine that the price of the iPad Pro will increase this year. There are two reasons. First, the new iPad Pro can support 5G networks; Second, the product is expected to be equipped with more powerful A14X chips and Mini LED displays. However, the current global chip shortage problem is difficult to solve in the short term, so the increase in hardware costs is also expected.The newly upgraded iPad miniIf it is said that in 2019, the iPad mini is full of sincerity to be equipped with the A12 processor, then the iPad mini released again at Apple's spring conference in 2021 will be absolutely perfunctory for users if it continues to use this chip.Therefore, if this conference brings a new iPad mini, it is estimated that the \"new\" should focus on upgrading its processor. Some people speculate that it is very likely to be equipped with A14 bionic chip.But relatively speaking, the design of iPad mini products has not been so attractive all along, and the huge frame has caused many users to complain that its screen-to-body ratio is too low. Many users also said that if it is updated, they hope that Apple can increase the screen size without changing the actual size of the device.In this regard, according to foreign media reports, the new iPad mini may adopt a full-screen solution, and the frame has also been improved, from the original arc design to a right-angle trimming design.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c8edef74e050bcd251dccdc4c475ce3\" tg-width=\"109\" tg-height=\"40\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Will the MacBook equipped with Apple's self-developed chip appear this time?At WWDC 2020, Apple announced that it would gradually transform Mac computers from<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a>The x86 processor platform was migrated to the ARM64 architecture Apple Silicon platform.In the second half of last year, Apple also changed its usual routine and held three press conferences in three months. During this period, it also updated the configurations of MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini computers. In order to speed up the initially set transition goals, it is expected that Apple will still have the latest actions in the future.According to foreign media reports, Apple plans to launch higher-end MacBook Pro and the latest iMac this year, and Mac Pro desktops are expected to use Apple Silicon chips in 2022.In addition, the MacBook Pro is expected to upgrade its 13-inch look to 14-inch, along with a 16-inch design. At the same time, in addition to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro mentioned above, which will be equipped with a Mini LED display, it is reported that the new MacBook Pro will also abandon the long-used LCD screen and use Mini LED instead. The choice was made because the application of Mini LED also helps to improve battery performance.The new MacBook Pro will also use the M2, the next version of the M1, or the M1X chip as it is called. It is reported that the new Apple Silicon chip will have 12 cores, including 8 performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores.However, many whistleblowers said that MacBook Pro and Air are expected to be launched in the second half of the year, so if you see a Mac at this spring conference, it may be a new iMac.It is reported that Apple is developing a newly designed iMac, which has more screen space, different body shapes, and brings Apple Sillicon upgrades and other improved features. It is expected that Apple may adopt a similar approach to last year, starting with low-end iMac upgrades, and then gradually launching high-end models equipped with M1X.It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Apple just announced that it would stop producing iMac Pro products, which can also be understood from the side as making way for the new version of iMac.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/063945dbbd12be21c1cadd573cb82e8b\" tg-width=\"111\" tg-height=\"38\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Innovation, HomePod with screen coming soon?At the 2017 autumn conference, Apple released its first HomePod product. However, what I never expected was that only four years later, it ushered in the fate of \"while supplies last\". Last month, Apple officially announced the suspension of production<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>Speaker product HomePod, officials stated that the company will continue to produce and focus on the HomePod mini launched last year.Looking back at the birth and demise of HomePod, as a product that Apple took 5 years to develop, it has a built-in A8 processor, is equipped with 6 microphone arrays, a 4-inch subwoofer, and 7 speaker arrays at the bottom. Among similar products, In terms of sound quality, it can be said that it surpasses other smart speakers on the market. However, the final initial price of US $349 discouraged many people. At the same time, due to factors such as lack of support from the third-party ecosystem and lack of intelligence, Apple eventually missed the market.Now, according to Bloomberg News, Apple is developing two new HomePod products, citing people familiar with Apple's plans as describing the HomePod as being related to the \"screen\".One is called HomePod TV, which can run tvOS through this product and output high-definition images to Apple TV. The other is an iPad-sized screen built into the HomePod through the structure of a robotic arm.In fact, Apple has previously explored connecting an iPad-like screen to a robotic arm that can track users and always follow them as they move in their space. This product will also feature a microphone and camera to enable video conferencing.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/466bee4cc81b16871ed0275d4d0a5964\" tg-width=\"109\" tg-height=\"39\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Can the concept-level product AirTag become a reality this time?AirTag, as an item tracker, can be hung on some items. When items are lost, they can also be found through iPhone positioning when the network is offline. However, this technology has always lived in legends.It was first discovered because in early April, Apple uploaded a video on its YouTube channel instructing users how to use \"Find My iPhone\", showing the trace of AirTag:Turning on \"Offline Search\" allows iPhone and AirTags to be found without connecting to Wi-Fi.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e029f34e065120da60bc25118ae2d182\" tg-width=\"928\" tg-height=\"576\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Unfortunately, now this video has been deleted. But there are still rumors that the technical foundation implemented by AirTag will rely on the features Apple has recently added to the U1 ultra-wideband chip.Meanwhile, Apple announced that the iPhone will soon be able to track lost items using the built-in Find My app. Software is ready, can hardware be far behind?Are you looking forward to the above new products?","source":"lsy1578046468581","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Preview of Apple's spring conference: What new products will be held at this \"Technology Spring Festival Gala\"</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPreview of Apple's spring conference: What new products will be held at this \"Technology Spring Festival Gala\"\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nCSDN2021-04-19 19:28\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSpring is a good season, annual<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>The spring conference is coming in spring.

But there are still rumors that the technical foundation implemented by AirTag will rely on the features Apple has recently added to the U1 ultra-wideband chip.Meanwhile, Apple announced that the iPhone will soon be able to track lost items using the built-in Find My app. Software is ready, can hardware be far behind?Are you looking forward to the above new products?\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n source：<a href=\"https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/KCzeZhdfNzp-wiLRCwnbRw\">CSDN</a>\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e968cc2fa9a8fe30f2575d1147007bba","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/KCzeZhdfNzp-wiLRCwnbRw","is_english":false,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1198410511","content_text":"春意盎然好时节，一年一度的苹果春季发布会踏春而来。不久前，苹果官宣将此次发布会定档 4 月 21 日凌晨 1 点，而在召开前夕，我们通过国内外的爆料大神，不妨提前了解一波本次发布会将会出现的新品。新款 iPad Pro 或将搭载 A14X、Mini LED，整体价格将上涨如果说这次发布会必然要发布一款新品，那么新款 iPad 肯定不会缺席。回看过往几届的苹果春季发布会，iPad 无一例外几乎都是主角，相信今年也是如此。有爆料称，在设计上，今年 iPad Pro 不会有太大变动，依然采用的是 11 英寸和 12.9 英寸。在性能方面，事实上，早在去年，苹果在 iPhone 12 系列中使用了 A14 芯片，而 A14 采用了 5nm 芯片工艺，且采用了 6 核 CPU 设计、4 核 GPU、16 核 NPU。在 iPhone 12 芯片推出不久后，第四代 iPad Air 也采用了这款芯片。截止目前，也可以将 A14 称之为是苹果迄今为止功能最为强大的芯片。而在即将到来的发布会上，新款 iPad Pro 想要超越过往，必然也会带来芯片的升级版，据外媒 9to5Mac 报道，在 iOS 14.5 Beta 的源代码中，发现了 A14X芯片的应用。基于此，也不难猜测，新款 iPad Pro 将搭载一种全新处理器，或命名为 A14X ，据悉，该处理器的性能与去年下半年 Mac 上搭载的 M1 芯片性能不分上下。此外，12.9 英寸的 iPad Pro 有望搭载一种新的显示屏 Mini LED。对此，苹果分析师郭明池表示，12.9 英寸使用 Mini LED 的 iPad Pro 将在 2021 年 4 月中下旬开始量产。目前，Mini LED 已经搭载在高端的 4K 电视中成功面市，如果该显示屏应用在 iPad Pro 中，无疑也会实现更高的对比度、亮度、色彩以及其他一些性能提升。遗憾的是，据外媒《Nikkei Asia》报道，因为全球芯片短缺，导致 iPad、MacBook 中一些重要组件延迟交付，也可能会让新品延迟发布。不过，最新消息称，苹果供应商 Ennostar 已经大大地提高了 mini-LED 芯片的良率，有望从本月稍晚些时候扩大其 iPad Pro 的产量。除此之外，苹果也会增强 iPad Pro 的摄像头，同时据国外爆料大神 Mr`White 表示，其配件 Apple Pencil 也会全新升级，且新款 Apple Pencil 具有更光滑的表面以及更长的笔尖。实际上，通过本次发布会的邀请函，就有不少网友猜测，是通过 Apple Pencil 画出来的。至于新款 iPad Pro 的定价，目前虽然没有任何消息透露出来，不过，也不难想象今年的 iPad Pro 价格会有所上涨。原因有二，其一，新款 iPad Pro 可以支持 5G 网络；其二，该产品预期搭载功能更强大的 A14X 芯片、Mini LED 显示屏，然而当前全球芯片短缺问题难以在短期之内解决，因此导致硬件成本上涨也在意料之中。全新升级的 iPad mini如果说 2019 年，iPad mini 搭载 A12 处理器是诚意满满，那么 2021 年苹果春季发布会上再次发布的 iPad mini 继续使用这款芯片那就是绝对的敷衍用户了。因此，如果这次发布会带来新款 iPad mini，那么估计其中的“新”应该重在升级其处理器方面，有人猜测极有可能搭载的是 A14 仿生芯片。但相对而言，一直以来，iPad mini 产品的设计并不是那么吸引人，巨大的边框，让不少用户吐槽其屏占比太低。也有很多用户表示，如果更新，更希望苹果能够在不改变设备实际尺寸的情况下，增加屏幕尺寸才是王道。对此，据外媒报道，新款 iPad mini 或将采用全面屏方案，同时边框也有所改进，将从原来的圆弧设计改为直角切边设计。搭载苹果自研芯片的 MacBook，这次会出现吗？2020 年 WWDC 上，苹果宣布将在两年内将 Mac 电脑逐渐从英特尔的 x86 处理器平台迁移到 ARM64 架构的 Apple Silicon 平台。去年下半年，苹果也一改往常，三个月连开了三场发布会，在此期间，也更新了 MacBook Air、MacBook Pro、Mac mini 三款电脑的配置。为了加快最初设下的过渡目标，预期接下来苹果仍然会有最新的动作。据外媒报道，苹果计划在今年推出更高端的 MacBook Pro 和最新的 iMac，而 Mac Pro 台式机预期将在 2022 年使用上 Apple Silicon 芯片。此外，MacBook Pro 有望将 13 英寸的外观升级为 14 英寸，同时还有一款 16 英寸的设计。同时，除了上文提到 12.9 英寸的 iPad Pro 将搭载 Mini LED 显示屏之外，有消息称，新款 MacBook Pro 也将放弃使用已久的 LCD 屏，改用 Mini LED。之所以做出这样的选择，是因为 Mini LED 的应用也有助于提高电池性能。新款 MacBook Pro 也将采用 M1 的下一版本 M2，又或者被称之为 M1X 芯片。据悉，新款 Apple Silicon 芯片将具有 12 个内核，其中包括 8 个性能内核和 4 个高效内核。不过，很多爆料者表示，MacBook Pro 和 Air 预计下半年推出，因此在这场春季发布会上，如果看到 Mac 的身影，那么可能是一台新的 iMac。据悉，苹果正在开发一种全新设计的 iMac，该产品具有更多的屏幕空间，不同的机身形状，并带来 Apple Sillicon 升级以及其他改进功能。预计苹果可能会采取与去年相似的方式，从低配的 iMac 开始升级，然后逐步推出搭载 M1X 的高端机型。值得一提的是，不久前，苹果刚刚宣布停止生产 iMac Pro 产品，这也从侧面可以理解为为新版 iMac 让道。推陈出新，带屏幕的 HomePod 即将到来？在 2017 年秋季发布会上，苹果发布首款 HomePod 产品，然而万万没想到的是，仅四年之后，其就迎来了“售完即止”的命运。上个月，苹果正式宣布停产智能音箱产品 HomePod，官方表示，公司将持续生产并专注于去年推出的HomePod mini。回看 HomePod 的诞生与消亡，作为一款苹果耗时 5 年研发的产品，其内置 A8 处理器，搭载 6 个麦克风阵列、4 英寸低音炮、底部配有 7 个扬声器阵列，在同类型产品中，在音质方面，可以说超越了市场上其他智能音箱。然而最终初始 349 美元的价格让很多人望而却步，同时因缺乏第三方生态的支持、不够智能等因素，最终还是导致苹果错失市场。如今，据彭博社爆料，苹果公司正在研发两款 HomePod 新品，其中援引熟悉苹果计划的人所描述的 HomePod 与“屏幕”有关。一款被称之为 HomePod TV，可以通过此产品运行 tvOS，且可以向 Apple TV 上输出高清画面。另外一款是在 HomePod 中通过机械臂的结构内置一块 iPad 大小的屏幕。实际上，Apple 此前已经探索过将类似 iPad 的屏幕与机械臂相连，该机械臂可以跟踪用户并在用户所处的空间中移动时始终跟随用户。此产品还将搭载麦克风和摄像头，用以启用视频会议。概念级产品 AirTag，这次能成为现实吗？AirTag，作为一款物品跟踪器，可以悬挂在一些物品上，当物品丢失的时候，及时在网络离线状态下，也可以通过 iPhone 定位找到。不过，一直以来，这种技术都活在了传说中。首次发现其踪迹还是因为 4 月初，苹果在 YouTube 频道上传了一则指导用户如何使用“Find My iPhone”的视频中显示了 AirTag 的踪迹：开启“离线搜索”可以让 iPhone 和 AirTag 在未连接 Wi-Fi 的情况下被找到。遗憾的是，现在这段视频已经被删除。但是仍然有传言称，AirTag 所实现的技术基础将依赖于苹果公司近期在 U1 超宽带芯片上添加的功能。与此同时，苹果宣布，iPhone 不久将能够使用内置的 Find My 应用程序跟踪丢失的物品。软件已经准备就绪，硬件还会远吗？针对以上的新品，你期待吗？","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2486,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":1,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComment":false,"orderType":2}
