What are we expecting this year?

[doogald]

I just read a rumor saying that the new phones may not have 3D Touch. Although I don’t use all the 3D Touch features, I did use it enough to not be too happy if the new phones don’t have it. Might be another reason I skip out this year lol.

Most of the credible rumors suggest there will be three phones, and most of them suggest that one of them will be a cheaper, LCD, 6.1" model, and I believe it will be only that model (which I believe is likely the successor to the SE, despite the size) that will not have 3D Touch (just as the SE does not have it). I would bet that if there truly are two OLED models, they will have 3D Touch.

That rumor I saw regarding that was about 2019 iPhones.

At this point in time there are so many rumors floating around, I honestly don’t know who to believe. All these are based on what Apple has previously done in the past. For myself, it’s a wait and see situation and who knows, maybe Apple will have a surprise up their sleeve?

I am hoping to have new and improved Home Pod this year. Any chance for that?

From what I’ve read we shouldn’t expect any HomePod updates until 2019 but you never know.

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

Man, I forgot that the home pod exists.

Any guess on whether the new 3 phones will be oled or lcd?

 

[Golfdriver97]

possibly a new Mac Mini

I think getting a mini for about $300 would be a good move for Apple. Something somewhat inexpensive to get potential new consumers in the ecosystem for a relatively low price.

I'm going to go with what seems to be the most common rumor. Two OLED, One is supposed to be the same size as the current iPhone X and then one at 6.5". Then a 6.1" LCD. I think that all makes sense as well. That should cover most peoples prices points and needs.

6.5" sounds so huge.

Apple Pencil for iPhone!

6.5" sounds so huge.

If the rumors are true, it will be about the same size as the current plus models but bigger screen like the current X.

I have the X now. I will get the 6.5 X. Can I order it now?

...You could try to ‘pre order’ it off of EBay if you’re willing to go that route...
Here’s an auction for one...

Good luck to you if you choose to go for one this way.
