San Francisco time at 10 o'clock on the morning of September 7, converted to Beijing time is on September 8 at 1 am!

As we all know, the Apple keynote in September was Apple's most content-laden conference of the year. The Apple conference will have a lot of perspectives.

These are just the most conservative and even May update Mac Pro, Mac mini.


iPhone 7/iPhone 7 Plus

The iPhone series products are naturally essential as the most important highlight of the Apple conference. After all, there are such two models in one year (this year, there are more SEs). According to the news of the previous N domestic and foreign news, broke the news! The appearance of the iPhone 7/7 Plus basically did not run. N factories in Shenzhen have begun to manufacture protective cases based on the iPhone 7/7 Plus models that we saw before.


Earlier exposure of iPhone 7 Plus on GeekBench

As for the configuration, the previous generation was the Apple A9, the previous generation was the Apple A8, and the previous generation was the Apple A7. This generation is of course the Apple A10. The model is known to all, and performance is the best. GeekBench had previously exposed the Apple A10 as a dual-core, single-core running score of 3,548. This score is even higher than the iPad Pro's Apple A9X single-core score, far higher than the iPhone 2s' 2500 points. Of course, this running point is definitely in the test phase, so the single-core power of the Apple A10 will only be higher.

Regarding memory, the data given by GeekBench shows that the iPhone 7 Plus is equipped with 3GB of RAM. Because the SoC of the Apple A10 is packaged with memory, there is no possibility of debugging for memory. The 3GB RAM is basically determined. As for the battery, from the point of view of the size of the model, the capacity of the battery has almost no room to increase, and even if it does, its floating deviation value will be within 100mAh. Resolution and camera pixels remain unchanged. As for the camera sensor model, because the iPhone 7 Plus uses a dual camera solution, so it will certainly use a different camera than before, dual camera solution is not to add a camera so simple, it is a set of bundled programs, so the iPhone 7 Plus's camera sensor is definitely different from the previous generation. In addition, the fact that the 3.5mm headphone jack is removed is already a fact.

Finally, there is a lot of talk about the iPhone 7/7 Plus's IP68 waterproof and dustproof specifications.


Apple Watch 2

According to previous exposure of the Apple Watch 2 battery picture, Apple Watch 2 battery capacity will increase by 35% over the first generation, the first generation of Apple Watch 42mm battery capacity is only 246mAh, while the second generation will reach 334mAh, but according to The performance of the first-generation Apple Watch's battery life (normal use of the day's level), even if increased by 35% of the battery capacity, it's battery life performance will not exceed 2 days ... ...

Other changes include:

Add more sensors for health monitoring, such as testing blood pressure, blood oxygen.

Appearance will be lighter than the first generation, according to rumors that the thickness of the fuselage will be reduced by 30 to 40%.

With the next-generation S2 processor, you can better run the independent WatchOS third-party APP that is behind the iPhone.


2016 MacBook Pro&Air

Although Apple updated the MacBook product line in 2016, it was only a minor upgrade of configuration and color, and the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air still remain in 2015 models. The MacBook Pro and Air series have not undergone major upgrades for 3 years. Its appearance has not changed in recent years. Apple's senior vice president also stated that the MacBook Air product line has already lacked its existing competitiveness. Therefore, we have reason to believe that this year's MacBook Pro, Air series will undergo major changes, at least the appearance can change.

As we all know, there is a special change in the mobile version of the sixth-generation Core. This is the only generation of Core Duo equipped with a 4-core i5 on the mobile version, which has previously been limited. The i5 on the MacBook Pro is a low-voltage dual-core version ( The 15-inch MacBook Pro uses a quad-core 8-thread i7), and thanks to the sixth-generation Core, the 13-inch version of the MacBook Pro has every reason to use the i5 6300HQ (4-core) or its custom-improved version.

Of course, the upgrade of the configuration is just a routine, and every year, the appearance and functionality is the focus of most users. Rumors about using Touch ID on the MacBook Pro/Air are no big news, and this time it is likely to really appear on them. This is also an effective way to increase the competitiveness of the MacBook Pro/Air market. After all, there is almost no market on the market. Fingerprint identification notebook (ThinkPad previously introduced).

Bloomberg News broke the record editor Mark Gurman also confirmed that the 2016 MacBook Pro will usher in a major upgrade in the last four years. The new MacBook Pro will be thinner and lighter than current models, with wider touchpads, narrower screen frames, smaller overall frame sizes, and chamfered edges, and at least one model will feature AMD's latest Polaris architecture graphics card. (Small core Polaris 11, RX 460 same paragraph). The top of the keyboard will replace the current function key with the OLED touch touchscreen bar, and at the same time carry the Touch ID fingerprint recognition device to support fingerprint fast login (Kee Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Fruit Powder House 9to5mac have also disclosed the same point of view). With regard to color matching, the MacBook Pro/Air will follow the pace of the MacBook with a rose gold version.
