Apple is believed to be finalizing the “iPad keyboard” as well as new metal casings for the Apple Watch for September 9
It is no surprise that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has been at the centre of attention for journalists for quite some time. We are only days away from the much-anticipated September 9 event, which is likely to see the company launch various products alongside the iPhone. Recent reports hint at the possibility of fans being greeted with the first-ever “iPad keyboard,” alongside a less expensive gold variant of its Apple Watch.
According to the New York Times, the company has much more in store for fans than just the iPhone , as reports indicate that the new metal finishes for the Apple Watch “may surface” at next week’s event. KGI Securities’ analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had predicted the same in March, claiming that Apple might introduce up to three different casing materials for its wearable in a bid to cater to this fall’s holiday shopping season.
The 18-karat Gold Apple Watch Edition is currently available through online and retail stores for a staggering $10,000. However, fans can expect a more affordable variant this Wednesday, if recent reports are to be believed. The different casing materials expected to be introduced include white gold, carbon fiber, titanium and even Hublot’s “Magic Gold.”
By far, the most surprising news is that Apple might detract from its usual timeline of launching new iPads in October every year, and introduce the rumored iPad Pro next week. This has been fueled by reports claiming that the tech giant is working on the first-ever iPad keyboard that could be launched in the near future.
Only recently a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing showed Apple to be working on a wireless keyboard alongside the latest model of its Magic Mouse. However, it is unclear whether the rumored keyboard is the same that had surfaced in the news earlier.
With the rumor mill doing overtime in recent weeks, Apple fans shouldn’t be surprised to see various new product launches. Bidness Etc will be covering the Apple event to be held at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, at 10 AM Pacific daylight time.
