10 questions about the last presentation of Apple, which have remained unanswered

We have long ceased to be surprised that know about new Apple products almost all long before their announcement. But, despite the fact that the presentation took place in a fairly compressed format and Tim and his team time to tell us a lot, Some questions remained unanswered.

1. Does the 3D technology will become popular Touch?

Apple came up with Force Touch, the first to use it in the Apple Watch, and then in the MacBook trackpad. Slightly modifying it and renaming technology 3D TouchThe company added it to the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.

On the Apple Watch and MacBook the analogue right click, we are used to on a desktop operating system, it was rather interesting feature than a necessity. But with the new iPhone to iOS 9 - it's really an amazing thing, that you try, just do not want to go back to the old methods of interaction. Journalists were kept in the hands of the iPhone 6s, they say that if the 3D Touch will be developed, it will be a real breakthrough in touch screen.

2. Due to what the new iPhone will be sold?

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus had very good sales, users will keep their love - large and very large display, compared with previous generations, the new design and other improvements.

At the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus of these "killer-features" only support 3D Touch and recording 4K-video. Like all the s-model, they have the same design and are not so radically different from their predecessors. Will there be enough of them to successfully sell?

3. Who needs the iPad Pro?

Prefix Pro title new iPad It means his professional orientation. But about any pro Apple says? Large screen, support for good keyboard and stylus does not make a professional tablet. Besides all this, designers, architects and doctors, who want to use the iPad Pro in as a working tool, and it will need more professional software, and it, as you know, on iOS not yet.

whether Apple will be able to lure professionals or iPad Pro is just an expensive toy for hipsters?

4. Will iPad Pro and Surface perceived as potential rivals?

Large iPad c keypad and stylus are very similar to the Surface Pro maykrosoftovskih. However, only in appearance, because the iPad runs on a mobile operating system, while in the Surface has full Windows 10, And with it the support of all desktop applications, in which professionals work. The question is what they eventually choose?

5. How comfortable will iPad Pro?

Tablet iPad Pro has a rather large size. As for weight, it does not exceed the weight of the original iPad. iPad Pro will not be perceived as a heavy for its size. But the weight is still far from being the determining factor, because the iPad Pro target audience is people who will use the tablet for serious problems, not to Twitter read over morning coffee. Nevertheless, the question the usability of such a large tablet remains open.

6. What will happen with the iPad Air?

For the first time in Apple's history, "full-sized" 9.7-inch version of the iPad has not received a hardware update. This is not a catastrophe, after all iPad Air 2 remains the same productive and would be relevant for the whole of next year. It is unclear just how Apple is going to position the line Air: Did he become a "second-best" tablet? Or ambitious update will take place a little later?

7. Apple TV 4 - a turning point in the development of, or catch-up?

If we look at the possibility of the new Apple TV in a list, they will be little different from Amazon Fire TV, Roku 3, NVIDIA Shield and other competitors. Voice-activated universal search, games, applications - all this we have already seen.

Yes, Apple products is one feature of which we all know - the company does not always invent something radically new, but more often simply polish to perfection existing solutions. But will one of the luster of the new Apple TV, to become successful?

8. What are the prospects for Apple TV?

It is believed that Apple deliberately held the renewal of its extender until it was ready to present its own streaming service. Now that the new Apple TV is on its way to the shops, some believe that the model of the distribution of video content on a paid subscription is set to launch next year. Is Apple TV will be a powerful foundation for the streaming service, how many years has been your iPod to iTunes Store?

9. Is there a niche for the game console, which is not the console?

Gaming department served as one of the main Apple TV 4 features. But, despite the fact that the "box" may provide a fairly good picture, it is not a competitor to the Xbox One or PlayStation 4. Just as the iPhone and the iPad, Apple's set-top box will be able to satisfy the gaming needs of ordinary people, but real gamers.

Amazon, NVIDIA and Roku can offer games about the same level, but you can not say that they have a much popularity. While not wanting to play the coolest games on relatively inexpensive console is not so much. whether Apple will be able to reverse this trend?

10. How will the hardware stuffing Apple Watch?

No one was waiting for Apple's new hours, because it does not yet even have time to get old. We were shown the new straps from Hermés and presented new colors. Are all Apple Watch future updates will be such? Probably not, and Apple just is not ready to introduce radically new update hours, as is the case with the iPad Air. Until about the middle of the Apple Watch next year, you should not worry, that's for sure.
