The variety of the MacBook Air has been renovated this Tuesday. The update has been minimal, just a new generation of Intel processors get more clock speed, from 1.3 to 1.6 prior to the current 1.4 to 1.7 (GHz). No other changes apart from a decrease in prices.

Collecting rumors: this is what we expect from Apple in the coming months

What Apple is preparing for the upcoming months? The truth is that there are many rumors about it. Today we review everything that the Cupertino company could bring at WWDC 2014, or throughout the year.

According to recent rumors and reports, Apple is preparing to launch many new features in the coming months. While you should treat analyzes Apple product carefully, the report Ming-Chi Kuo for KGI Securities unusual given the matter encompassingvision. Kuo is a known analisista and has rarely been wrong in their predictions.

The analyst usually do quite realistic, nuanced and contrasting statements. Therefore, making a compilation of what we have been hearing during these months, and comparing it to what the Ming-Chi Kuo himself has reported for his report to KGI Securities, we can summarize all the new Apple products that could reach in the coming months.

iWatch
According to the rumors, of which we saw recently new and interesting data, assuming iWatch could finally see the light at the second or third quarter of the fiscal year. That means it could be featured this WWDC. This is consistent with the expectations of Ming-Chi Kuo about new Apple products, and believes the device will feature an interesting integration with iPhone and iPad, as well as having an impeccable and elegant appearance.

The iWatch, after much debate, expected in two main sizes, which could indicate a model man and a woman, with a screen between 1.3 and 1.5 inches AMOLED. In addition, these new Apple products would have a sapphire crystal cover and probably even more difficult, many biometric sensors, and even the possibility of charging wirelessly. Ming-Chi Kuo believes the iWatch, if so, could cost more than $1000.

iPhone 6

The expected iPhone6 ​​has been one of the potential new products Apple has since more rumors for months now. This model could be larger than the above and there are even rumors of two possible versions of 4.7 and another 5.5 inches. Ming-Chi Kuo believes that this will happen and both models also will wear a A8 chip, 1GB of RAM, screen LTPS panels, image stabilization system and Touch ID.

Rumors also point to a significant reduction in the bezel along with a reduction in the thickness of the phone, reaching 6.5 mm. Kuo expects a massive release model assumes 4.7-inch iPhone 6 in September this year, seeing the light version later than 5.5. Another suggestion on these potential new products Apple is that the iPhone 5.5 will only be available on a 64GB model with sapphire crystal screen.

New iPads

The second generation would still recent iPad Air. This new model could incorporate Touch ID and a new A8 processor of course we've also heard though in different directions. Ming-Chi Kuo reported that this would be one of the new Apple products to expect and also would have a 8mpx camera, which is quite likely as I discussed a while ago. According to Kuo, the iPad Air 2 could arrive before October.

Regarding the iPad Pro, this rumor is difficult to be realized and does not seem to have much background. However, Ming-Chi Kuo is convinced that Apple is preparing to launch this model for future cases. One of the most striking details is that apart from its size little else is known about this and not expect Kuo possible 2014 release but later.

iMac

Based on analysis of Ming-Chi Kuo, among the new products Apple is expected to lower priced iMac that would have reduced benefits but help to improve the output of the computer by up to 23%. In fact, Kuo is so convinced of this fact that you think will be the first announcement from the company this year. Some other voices believe that a new iMac reduced price is more related to the world of education.

Apple TV or iTv

So many rumors suggest that Apple TV is suffering huge improvements and even a complete remodeling of its interface. The possibility that a completely new device with many features that can compete with other products in the same sector appears. Kuo 2014 only expect a renewal and not a new Apple TV. We expect a new integration with a cable system, a novel system that relates to the world of video games or the inclusion of new motion detecting means to interact with it.

However, Ming-Chi Kuo believes will not be in 2014 when we see these developments. According to his analysis this product still has much to develop to be ready for sale. On the other hand yes we could see a new version of Apple TV, with improvements such as a new and updated features A8 chip.

Mac mini
To date, almost all models of Apple computers have been relaunched or overhauled in one way or another. However, the Mac mini is the only one left, and now we're wondering if it really soon will undergo remodeling or a simple upgrade.

This computer has not been updated since October 2012, so we believe that a possible set-up is near. In January, we tubimos information from a Belgian shop ensures that the end of February would have units of the new Mac mini. February and March have passed and still no news.

Typically, these small leaks usually indicate that in reality this new model is expected and already preparing to put it on sale. There are not often false these indications, so we will be attentive to the movements of other retailers.

Could it be submitted new generation of Mac mini in June? I personally think it will be in September.
