After the leak of part of the code from iOS 14 to 9to5Mac and MacRumors, the news about Apple's plans for the coming months, both in software and hardware, are happening. And now it is the turn of the hardware, with interesting facts about the iPhone 9, the new iPad Pro, a new Apple TV with a new remote and the long-awaited AirTags.
iPhone 9
Rumors about Apple's next "cheap" iPhone have been happening in recent months, with alleged leaks from the assembly lines, but now it is the internal code of iOs 14 that gives us details about this smartphone that we should see this spring, if the coronavirus allows it. The data that emerges from this analysis of iOS 14 reveals that iPhone 9 will support Touch ID identification, no facial recognition, as we expected.
Also it will be compatible with the Express Transit function that allows you to use the iPhone as a card for public transport without even having to pick it up. This will be an important difference with respect to the iPhone 6, which does not support this function, so Apple hopes that users of this iPhone model who have not yet decided to update their device will be attracted to the new iPhone 9. It is expected launch this spring, although these plans may have been altered by the coronavirus and the impact it is having on factories in China.
iPad Pro
From what was found in iOS 14, the new iPad Pro model that will arrive this year, will include a triple camera, like the one that now includes the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, and as previous rumors had pointed out. A 3D ToF (Time of Flight) sensor will be included, which will allow much more precise 3D captures by measuring the depth of the field that we are photographing. This utility will also be necessary for developments in the field of Augmented Reality that would lead to the inclusion of its own application in iOS 14.
Apple TV
Data have also been found that make one suspect that a new Apple TV would be on the way, but it will also include a new control knob. The Siri Remote would be updated by a new model that could solve many of the defects that current users find at the command of Apple. There is also talk of a new application dedicated to exercise that would allow downloading and watching videos of the exercises that we are going to perform, with synchronization of the data obtained from our Apple Watch and integration with Apple Music to enjoy our favorite music while we exercise.
Air Tag
Apple's localized labels have been in the media for a long time awaiting release. The new details that have been found in iOS 14 include the fact that they would work with a user replaceable battery, contrary to other previous rumors that spoke of a fixed battery that would give it a limited life.
