Leaker Jon Prosser: Apple Watch and iPad Launching in September, iPhone 12 Event to Take Place in October

[Apple_Robert]

I was referring to the pro iPhones

Do you honestly think you would be able to noticeably tell a usable and practical difference if the phone had 120? It would be like saying 4K video makes all the difference on my (orig) SE phone.

I would be able to tell because I’m autistic and have extremely sensitive eyesight for the slightest adjustments, but it’s not necessary for me to be happy. My current X has a perfectly fantastic screen. The notch doesn’t even bug me. Hoping for a great camera upgrade mostly as that is a hobby of mine.

The X was a great phone. I enjoyed mine.

I don’t think you will need to worry about the new bells and whistles on the new Pro. I think Apple will please you.

Prosser: "apple to release new perpetual motion machine on Sept. 7, but things could change!"

<sept 7 comes and goes>

Prosser: "see! I told you things could change! Prosser FTW!"

If this is true it all but confirms that the Apple Watch and iPad upgrades are going to be tiny as rumoured before. Quite disappointing as I feel like those products have become quite stagnant.

Innovation will not last forever. At some point stagnation will occur. 2020 is not that fantastic but give designers a bit more time. Maybe 2021 iPhone would wow a slightly larger group of people.

What more do we need a phone to do? *

*Design change not withstanding

Edited to add: I would like to see more focus on software performance, bug fixes and integration.

This leaves no room for an Apple Silicon Mac event. Doesn't make sense.

I certainly hope Apple launches actual new iPad Pro models on September 7th. I’m itching to upgrade from my 2018 12.9” model, if they put an A14X in it, maybe include 5G. The screen could go on as is, given it’s so good already. Micro LED would be ok if they’re ready for that upgrade.

The other thing I’d like to see changed is the FaceID cameras getting moved to the long edge, since it’s so often used in landscape.

That's what I want, the iPad Pro 12.9 inch mini led model..thats coming out September 7th? I thought it was coming out in March 2021

Nothing about Apple TV 6. 😭

Since his claim of it shipping soon (in May), I’m not sure he has a very reliable sources.

 

[robjulo]

His been on fire of late, someone new must be feeding him info.

Nope. Not falling for his schtick again.

 

[boss.king]

Wait why would they deliver iPhone pro models in the month of november! That’s election month! Makes no sense!!

The world is bigger than the US.

 

[AppleTO]

Yeah, I’m kinda more looking forward to Apple Silicon Macs this year tbh.

I might do an Apple TV hardware update though... if they release a new one.

Why would that matter, iPhone X came out in November.

You mean when Prosser got every single thing wrong about WWDC 2020?

 

[Zdigital2015]

I'm very interested in what happens with the new iPads as the rumors have been sort of confusing there. If it truly was a press release I think that means we won't see the A14 in the iPad Air as they'll want to make a big deal of that chip. So that means A13 iPad Air and then probably A12 for the cheaper iPad (I'm assuming Apple doesn't like the A11).

Also the Apple Watch will likely get a speed boost and will be a more significant upgrade over the 5, so it again seems odd for no event.

I realize they probably won't invite people in person all things considered, but their WWDC stream was pretty great and I'd love to see more of that style.

September
———————-
iPad Air - A13
iPad mini - A13
iPad - A12

The A11 suffers from the Secure Enclave vulnerability documented in a story a few weeks back, plus I’m not even sure it’s being produced anymore.

Late Q1/Early Q2 2021
———————————-
iPad Pro - A14X

But that is going to be another huge storm in the teapot...again.

September is the month for iPhones/Apple watch with a two week delayed release. 📱

October is Mac’s and iPads. 💻

The way he said it... things could change Ofcourse they can. Trying to protect himself

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Why would that matter, iPhone X came out in November.

That was a main flagship phone! The whole iphone design changed that’s why November release was necessary.

There are 4 phones this year, with new radios and form factors.

true but I don’t think it will be revolutionary.

After they adjust the price and/or increase the internal storage. One is too high, the other is too low.

There is no more revolutionary. The revolution was in 2007, the iPhone is now a mature product.

The XR wasn’t revolutionary nor was there a pandemic. Yet it was delayed to October 2018. Given we’re expecting four new iPhones, Oct/Nov shouldn’t be surprising.

 

[Cosmosent]

What's causing the Release Date for the two Pro models to slip out ?

Anybody know ?

Disagree !

The A7 in the 5s was Revolutionary !

That was the last time !

As a leaker, when you get some REALLLY good and exciting information that NO ONE else has, it almost makes sense to wait to see if anyone else puts it out first. Yeah, you might be scooped BUT to announce first may be informing Apple of EXACTLY who leaked the info Good leakers know you can’t report everything.
