Then the next event isn&#8217;t anticipated until March 2021 &#8211; read on to find out more.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-3658198-1\">When is Apple&#8217;s next event?<\/h2>\n<p>The next Apple event is expected to take place on Tuesday 10 November.<\/p>\n<p>The event will kick off at 10am in San Francisco. That translates into the following times around the world:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>UK: 10 November at 6pm (GMT)<\/li>\n<li>Europe: 10 November at 7pm (CET)<\/li>\n<li>US: 10 November at 9am (AKDT), 10am (PDT), 11am (MDT), noon (CDT), 1pm (EDT)<\/li>\n<li>Canada: 10 November at 10am (PDT), 11am (MDT), noon (CDT), 1pm (EDT), 2pm (ADT)<\/li>\n<li>India: 10 November at 10.30pm (IST)<\/li>\n<li>Australia: 11 November at 1am (AWST), 2.30am (ACST), 3am (AEST)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The announcements will most likely last around 1 hours. The first bit &#8211; probably between 5 and 15 minutes &#8211; will be preliminary chat, sales figures, promotional videos and so on. Then they&#8217;ll get into the serious product announcements.<\/p>\n<p>You will find all the information about <a title=\"How to watch the Apple Event\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/how-to\/iphone\/watch-iphone-event-live-3701979\/\">how to watch the Apple Event here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is likely that the event will take the form of a broadcast from Apple Park, as has been Apple&#8217;s custom in 2020. There will not be a live audience, instead we will all be able to tune in and watch the broadcast.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-3658198-2\">What will Apple announce at the November event<\/h2>\n<p>Apple has promised that it will begin its transition fron Intel processors to Apple-designed processors that use the ARM-architecture before the end of 2020, so the unveiling of the the first Silicon-powered Mac seems likely at the November event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It seems likely that this event will focus on the Mac and Apple&#8217;s work transitioning to Silicon from Intel. However we may also see a few other new products detailed below.<\/p>\n<p>One other thing seems sure to put in an appearance &#8211; <a title=\"macOS Big Sur release date\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/macos-big-sur-release-date-3779573\/\">macOS Big Sur<\/a>, the <a title=\"latest version of macOS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/feature\/os-x-macos-versions-3662757\/\">latest version of macOS<\/a>, is yet to launch despite being promised back in June, so we expect Apple to launch it in conjunction with, or shortly after, the event.<\/p>\n<p>Below we will examine everything Apple could announce at the event in more detail.<\/p>\n<p>For more information read <a title=\"What to expect at the 10 November Apple Event\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/what-expect-apple-november-event-3796662\/\">what to expect at the 10 November Apple Event.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Silcon MacBook<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lz lightbox idgowned\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.amobil.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/when-is-the-next-apple-event.png\" alt=\"Silicon Mac\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-original-width=\"1600\" data-original-height=\"900\"> <\/p>\n<p><noscript> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lightbox idgowned\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.amobil.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/when-is-the-next-apple-event.png\" alt=\"Silicon Mac\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-original-width=\"1600\" data-original-height=\"900\"> <\/noscript> <\/p>\n<p>Apple has said that it will launch its first Apple Silicon-powered Mac before the end of 2020. The company has decided to move from Intel processors to its own processors, that will be closely related to the ARM chips used in iPhones and iPads. Apple&#8217;s calling them Apple Silicon.

If Apple wants to reach the masses with its service, a dongle that will let them stream Apple&#8217;s new content to their TV sets could be an essential part of the equation.<\/p>\n<p>There are reports that the company is ready to launch updated Apple TV hardware, so maybe we&#8217;ll see it in November.<\/p>\n<p>We look at the rumours about the <a title=\"Apple TV stick release date\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/apple\/new-apple-tv-3663891\/\">new Apple TV here<\/a>.

This small disc or sticker will be applicable to keys, wallets and other important items, and will then be trackable in the revamped Find My app (which combines the old Find My iPhone and Find My Friends apps). Surely it will arrive before the end of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>We examine these rumours here: <a title=\"Apple to unveil 'Tag' object tracker\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/iosapps\/apple-tag-object-tracker-3701850\/\">Apple to unveil &#8216;Tag&#8217; object tracker<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-3658198-3\">Will Apple hold a Spring 2021 event?<\/h2>\n<p>With no spring event in 2020 will Apple hold one in 2021?

In 2015 Apple held an event called &#8216;Spring Forward&#8217; on 9 March, where it announced pricing and the launch date for the original Apple Watch and unveiled the 12in MacBook. Then on 21 March 2016, at the &#8216;Let us loop you in&#8217; event, we got the <a title=\"iPhone SE review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/review\/iphone\/apple-iphone-se-review-2017-uk-3625110\/\">iPhone SE<\/a>, the <a title=\"iPad Pro 9.7 review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/review\/ipad\/ipad-pro-97in-review-apples-97-inch-ipad-pro-reviewed-3637908\/\">iPad Pro 9.7<\/a> and iOS 9.3.<\/p>\n<p>Spring 2017 was a bit of a disappointment for Apple followers: instead of a full-blown event the company quietly closed down its online store then sent out a press release announcing the launch of the <a title=\"iPad 2017 review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/review\/ipad\/new-ipad-2017-review-3656385\/\">iPad 2017<\/a> and the <a title=\"Gallery: Special edition (Product) RED iPhone 7 Plus in pictures\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/iphone\/gallery-special-edition-product-red-iphone-7-plus-in-pictures-3656577\/\">red iPhone 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Then in 2018 Apple held an <a title=\"What to expect at Apple's 27 March education event\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/apple\/apple-27-march-education-event-3673983\/\">education-focused event<\/a> on 27 March at a school in Chicago. The company made a series of announcements including a new iPad (with support for Apple Pencil), updates to Pages, Numbers and Keynote, and GarageBand. As well as talking at length about what it can do for teachers and students.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what we expect to see in spring 2021:<\/p>\n<h3>AirPods Studio &amp; Lite<\/h3>\n<p>Apple is said to be planning to introduce more than one set of headphones.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve collected the most plausible and interesting <a title=\"Apple overear headphones\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/apple\/apple-studiopods-headphones-3672650\/\">rumours about the AirPods Studio here<\/a>.

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic Apple has continued to launch updated Macs, iPhones and iPads.<\/p>\n<p>But Apple does tend to hold events &#8211; they are after all a great way to grab everyone&#8217;s attention and also communicate their messaging effectively.<\/p>\n<p>In a normal year, Apple generally holds a number of events: one in the spring, one in the summer, one in September and one in October. Some years there will be no spring event and other years Apple will skip the October event, like it did in 2019. Obviously 2020 is a little different to usual, but normally we&#8217;d expect a line up something like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>March, or spring (education and creativity themes, often includes iPads)<\/li>\n<li>June (WWDC &#8211; mostly software, sometimes high-end\/pro hardware)<\/li>\n<li>September (iPhones and Apple Watches)<\/li>\n<li>October (iPads and sometimes consumer-focused Macs)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So we can make some predictions about the other events in 2021&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-3658198-5\">WWDC 2021<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a long way away, but what about 2021&#8217;s WWDC?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what Apple has announced at WWDC in the past:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At WWDC 2020 Apple told us about iOS 14 and macOS 11 Big Sur. It also announced the transition from Intel to its own Apple Silicon processors.<\/li>\n<li>At WWDC 2019 Apple told us about iOS 13 and macOS Catalina. It also unveiled the <a title=\"New Mac Pro\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/mac\/new-mac-pro-2018-latest-rumours-release-date-uk-price-features-specs-3536364\/\">new Mac Pro<\/a> and <a title=\"Apple's new display news\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/mac\/new-apple-8k-retina-display-rumours-release-date-3474851\/\">new display<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>At WWDC 2018 we learned about <a title=\"iOS 12 release date &amp; new features\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/iosapps\/ios-12-3664535\/\">iOS 1<\/a>2 and <a title=\"macOS Mojave release date, new features &amp; system requirements\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/news\/mac-software\/macos-10-14-mojave-3669087\/\">macOS Mojave<\/a>.
