A few minutes ago we told you how the rumors spoke of a new iPad Pro with Face ID for this WWDC in June, earlier than Apple has us used to in recent years. But the rumors continue and this news must be added the possibility that before the end of the year the company launches new products with more affordable prices.
Specifically, we are talking about an evo HomePod, Apple's speaker, and a new MacBook Air, both with discounted prices compared to current models. Both products would arrive before the end of the year and could also be presented at WWDc 2018 just before the summer.
Following the strategy of recent years, Apple would launch a new speaker cheaper than the current HomePod. It would be a speaker also compatible with Siri that would have a smaller size and with good sound quality but not at the level of the current model. Despite the good reviews received by the HomePod, and that its price is at the level of other quality models and even more expensive, It is located in a range that makes many users not consider its acquisition. A more affordable model even at the expense of lower quality could be more widely accepted by users.
Rumors about the most affordable MacBook Air have been around for a long time. A model between $ 799 and $ 899, a lower price than the current model, and that would help increase laptop sales between 10 and 15% according to analysts. In addition to this laptop and the speaker, there has also been a lot of talk about a 2018 iPad cheaper than the 2017 model, which was already the cheapest tablet that Apple had launched so far. To end the "sale" launches, we should add the supposed 6,1-inch iPhone with an LCD screen that would be in a lower price range to the iPhone X and the supposed iPhone X Plus that would launch at the end of the year.
