Despite the fact that so far there is no information on this account, there are numerous "leaks" of secret Apple data and analysts' forecasts, which will allow you to get a picture of what will happen at the presentation in the evening right now.

So, plums, rumors and analysts say that today will be presented:
- the new iPhone (and, possibly, three models at once) - Apple's flagship smartphone will be an updated version of the iPhone X and will be called the iPhone 11 or XS, the second model will differ only in the display diagonal - 6.5 inches and will be called the iPhone XS Plus or iPhone 11 Plus. The two high-end models will feature upgraded batteries and cameras, as well as a nimble, latest generation processor.
The third new iPhone will be budget - with a cheaper case and stuffing, but a display of 6.1 inches diagonally.

Also, the leading domestic platforms dedicated to Apple technology broadcast the event in Russian.
We decided to deal with the probability of introducing new devices. The event is not rubber, so not everyone will obviously fit in it.
What is the probability of seeing each novelty?
iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Plus, and iPhone 9
Probability: 100%
The notch in the screen under True Depth is not visible, but it is definitely there
Since 2010, we have seen a clear naming system for the iPhone: 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6, 6s and 7. There were special 5c and SE, but general principle raised no questions. Everything changed in 2017.
Instead of the iPhone 7s, we saw the iPhone 8 and iPhone X (10), so in 2018 we first expected the low-cost iPhone 9, the flagship iPhone XI (11) and the iPhone XI Plus. But according to 9to5Mac, the latter will end up being Xs.
They will receive iPhone X design And face ID in the screen cutout.
To 6.1 inch iPhone 9 fit into the line, he should get the current A11 Bionic instead of the new A12, as well as an MLCD + screen instead of OLED, a single camera instead of a double one and no more than 3GB random access memory.
So it will fit just under the iPhone X.
The main feature of the iPhone 9 will be a whole set of body colors: white, black, yellow, orange, blue and gray.
TrendForce is confident that 9-ka will cost no more $699-749 . To achieve this price, it may have enlarged bezels around the screen, as well as aluminum sides instead of steel.

Except A12 chip iPhone Xs And iPhone Xs Plus will receive a 5.8- and 6.5-inch OLED screen, respectively, 4 GB of RAM, dual cameras and steel sides.
There is almost no doubt that in addition to black and white, flagship smartphones will also be sold in gold or bronze. This is hinted at by the presentation logo.
To fully justify the “s” index, devices can also get ProMotion - overclocking the screen frequency to 120 Hz.
For the iPhone Xs will have to pay $899-949 , and for the iPhone Xs Plus they will ask from $999 .
Final versions of iOS 12, macOS Mojave, watchOS 5
Probability: 100%
The presentation should not bypass the final iOS versions 12, macOS Mojave, and watchOS 5, which we started using heavily right after WWDC 2018.
The main feature of iOS 12 is speed, and macOS Mojave received a dark interface design theme, which should also migrate to mobile devices.
Oddly enough, I personally I want to see the final version of watchOS 5, although installing it on my Apple Watch Series 2 will not bring anything new.
However, I'm interested to see how she will use the increased Apple screen Watch Series 4.
New frameless Apple Watch Series 4
Probability: 95%
No, Apple Watch Series 4 will not be round. However, the new watch will get rounded screen corners.
The novelty screen will enlarge 35% for the 42mm version and 38% for the 38mm watch. This will be the main innovation of the device, due to which the old Apple Watch will be replaced with it.
Rather, their body will also become more rounded, the side button will be recessed into the body (maybe it will be touch-sensitive, like in the iPhone 7 and 8), the microphone will be located under the Digital Crown.
This is what the new exclusive watch face for the Apple Watch Series 4 might look like
Apple Watch Series 4 renders appear to be thinner than its predecessors, but we will know the exact information on this matter on September 12th.
Personally, I'm most interested in strap compatibility: I hope they did not change the mount, and the old ones will fit the new watch.
AirPower Wireless Charging Station
Probability: 95%
Frame from AirPower presentation in 2017
Apple introduced AirPower along with the iPhone 8 (Plus) and iPhone X in September 2017. Then the company's new smartphones appeared wireless charger according to the Qi standard, so similar device waited.
However, the company announces sales of the device only on September 12, 2018. In this, the well-known reporter Mark Gurman.

AirPower supports simultaneous iPhone charging, Apple Watch and AirPods.
Apple planned to launch the device in June, but it had to be postponed due to technical difficulties.
Air power is more than just Qi wireless charging. Built into it operating system, which controls power and pairing.
Updated iPad Pro with a borderless screen
Probability: 50%
The concept of the new iPad Pro from Venya Geskin
Today, my colleagues and I are inclined to believe that the new iPad Pro will be presented to us on September 12 with a probability of 50/50.
Chances are high that the company will want to pay more attention to the iPhone Xs (Plus), as well as the iPhone 9, which is being heavily bet on.
iPad Pro will be the ideological continuation of the current 10.5-inch model. He will receive an 11-inch screen with reduced frames and, most likely, without a cutout for True Depth.
About dual camera and other additional features of the novelty is not yet known. But it may have additional contact pads for connecting peripherals.
The new iPad Pro will certainly work on upgraded version of the A12 processor and become the fastest device on the market.
Redesigned MacBooks as well as MacBook Air
Probability: 25%
We are waiting for a new 12-inch MacBook from Apple, which has not yet been updated this year, and also new Macs mini (have not been updated since 2014) and the anniversary iMac (the line turned 20 years old).
However, Apple is unlikely to consider these products a priority, so it may not allocate time for them at the presentation.
But the updated MacBook Air with a small probability, but can look at it.
Apple hasn't updated the MacBook Air since 2015. However, he does not plan to abandon this device.
According to Economic Daily News, the company will offer us an updated 13-inch MacBook Air with a price of up to $1,000.
He will work for Intel processors Core generation Kaby Lake and excellent suitable for students and other undemanding users.
Budget iPhone SE2 for developing countries
Probability: 20%
In early August, the iPhone SE2 was found in Xcode 10 code. Most likely, this device will be an updated iPhone 7, which will be sold at a price no more $449 .
Today, September 12, 2017, at 20:00 Kyiv time, a presentation of a new, special anniversary iPhone from Apple will take place. Apple celebrates 10 years since the release of its first smartphone and will introduce 3 new ones at once iPhone models: iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus (refurbished iPhone 7), as well as the new version - iPhone X.
Since the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will be the heirs of the 7th version of the smartphone, while the iPhone X will receive premium features, let's dwell on the characteristics of the new iPhone X and everything we know about the new gadget.
Smartphone Apple iPhone X will be universal and unique both in terms of internal content and external characteristics. It will cost within 1 thousand dollars.
It is likely that for the first time in years, the iPhone will receive a radical redesign: an edge-to-edge bezel-less display thanks to the elimination of the physical Home button. Some sources say that the fingerprint scanner finger touch ID will be built into the screen, others say that Apple will abandon Touch ID altogether in favor of a new method - a face recognition system that recognizes the user in millionths of a second and can work even in the dark.
The dimensions of the smartphone will be comparable to the 4.7-inch version, but the diagonal of the screen is closer to 5.5-inch. It is likely that the novelty will receive a screen with a diagonal of 5.8 inches and a usable area of 5.15 inches. The rest of the space will be filled with the so-called functional area, which will look like a cross between the bottom panel android tools And touch bar new MacBook Pro.
For the first time in history, the display will use OLED technology instead of the usual liquid crystals, which will enable Apple not only to provide users with a screen with improved contrast and color reproduction, but also to make the device thinner and energy efficient.
The aluminum used in the manufacture of the back of the iPhone for the past 5 years will be replaced by glass. The desire to equip the smartphone with wireless charging prompted the creators to abandon the metal case.
The processor will be called A11 and will be much more productive and energy efficient than A10. There is a possibility that in new version The iPhone will be larger and the amount of RAM will be up to 4 GB. The base version will have 64 GB of internal memory, then there will be a 128 GB model and for the first time in the history of the iPhone there will be a top version with 512 GB of memory!
Another innovation of the iPhone 8 will be related to the cameras. It is expected that the front of the smartphone will have a camera with improved resolution and a 3D face recognition scanner. There is a version that in the iPhone 8 both rear cameras will have optical stabilization.
Regarding color, the new iPhone, judging by the latest leaks on the Internet, will be offered in 3 colors - traditional black and silver, as well as Blush Gold- resembling either bronze or copper. It is likely that this option will be in the greatest demand.
