Last year the iPad Pro & Magic Keyboard were released via Press release. So was the Early 2020 Double Storage refresh of the Mac mini and I believe another early 2020 Mac refresh. But with what we learned this week about the chip shortage affecting Apple now, I do not see any products being released possibly until after the iPhone. They're not gonna do anything to affect that launch not happening.
Yes but there’s not even an announcement at this point. The event would have had to been last week. By the time they would put out an announcement for an event it would be too close. I just don’t see that happening. It’s going to be press releases.
No. Apple has done Spring events as late as the last (full) week of March. Last time they did anything in April was in 2010. And I know we talked about this being an odd year but we’re like 7-8 weeks from WWDC. They’ve never announced an event this late into April.
That doesn't mean they cant announce an event. I don't know what's preventing them from doing so. These events arent live anymore and Apple's schedule is seriously being shaken up due to COVID-19. They released iPhones in October, had a November event, a September event with not many new products, etc...
Yes, exactly. Let's just wait and see what happens.
Apple never gave two weeks notice for Special Events. It was always 7-9 days.
Apple sent out invites for the iPhone 6 event on August 28th, for a September 9th event. That’s 13 days. But my point is that due to Covid they don’t do in person events at the moment, they haven’t got to get people flown over and so on. If they wanted Apple could release invites this week for an event next Tuesday or Wednesday.
