APPLE WATCH SERIES 5

Last year, the Apple Watch just got a big remake, so the Series 5 is expected to be a bit less of a change. Apple will upgrade the processor to an S5 chipset that will be more power-efficient and faster than before. A leak has disclosed new titanium and ceramic case options.

Another rumour says that this year, Apple may add sleep tracking to the Apple Watch, which is one of the main health-tracking features that the Watch currently needs.

There are also some bigger remakes coming to the entire Apple Watch line in watchOS 6, which were announced earlier this year at WWDC: a standalone App Store that will allow Watch apps to be installed and run independently from a tethered iPhone and the long-overdue addition of menstrual cycle tracking.

And obviously, there will be some new strap colours.

APPLE TAG

As per the rumours, Apple is working on its own Tile-Esque Bluetooth tracking tag, and we can expect an official announcement tomorrow. There's plenty of evidence, both circumstantial (like Apple's rebranded Find My app) and blatantly obvious (like the leaked code in iOS 13 explaining how the feature works).

Apple's iteration is said to use AR to help find your lost items, which could be very interesting as well as helpful. And products like Tile rely on a local network of hardware to find lost items.

NEW APPLE TV HARDWARE

Apple TV deserves an update from a long time, and rumours say that it has one in the works that could feature a faster A12 processor. Given that Apple Arcade games are meant to be cross-platform, a better processor could help Apple TV keep up when the service launches later this year.

SOFTWARE

We already have an idea of what to expect when it comes to Apple's 2019 software updates. We hope to get release information for iOS 13, iPadOS, watchOS 6, tvOS, the HomePod, and macOS 10.15 Catalina.

16-INCH MACBOOK PRO

Current Apple's MacBook Pro design has is just perfect, and Apple is said to be working on a new 16-inch model, which is ready to introduce an all-new design (with a less lousy keyboard) early this year.

MAC PRO AND PRO DISPLAY RELEASE DATES

This was announced at WWDC, Apple made some big promises for its most demanding pro users, but we still don't have exact pricing for the Mac Pro or a release date for either the Pro or its accompanying display. We hope to get more details on Tuesday.
