Rumor: Apple to release new MacBook, iPad Pro, AirPower wireless charging mat in September

Apple’s new gear is en route and the rumor mill has it arriving in September.

Per DigiTimes, Apple will release a new entry level MacBook, complete with a 14 nm Kaby Lake processor, that should be priced around $1,200. Apparently Apple originally planned to ship the new MacBook in late 2017 with a 10 nm Kaby Lake processor, but Intel’s manufacturing delay into late 2019 forced the company to release the computer now with the 14 nm chip.

The site also stated that a refreshed 12.9-inch iPad Pro can be expected in September, alongside an 11-inch model that will replace the current 10.5-inch iPad Pro. Both iPads will have much smaller bezels, like the iPhone X. The new iPads will ship with a redesigned 18 W charger with a USB-C to Lightning cable.


Apple is also expected to deliver its AirPower wireless charging mat that it showed off at the iPhone X launch last September. The AirPower can charge three devices simultaneously, such as your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch and pricing is expected to fall between $160 and $195.

Odds are that means the AirPods wireless charging case, also announced at the September 2017 iPhone launch event, will ship in September.

Finally, Apple is expected to launch its three new iPhone models in September. Reports say a lower priced 6.1-inch LCD screen iPhone will be announced, along with OLED screen 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch models.

Based on Apple’s announcement timing in previous years, there’s a good chance the launch media event will be on September 11th or 12th with deliveries starting on September 21st.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
