Rich news and presentations 2015 the year comes to a close, it’s time to think about what will bring us the coming year.
iPhone 7
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will replace the current generation of Apple smartphones with 4.7 – and 5.5-inch screens. Record sales of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, which are only for the first weekend has sold 13 million copies, added the analysts confidence in the success of “Apple” smartphones.
Likely the iPhone 7 will radically new design and will lose the Home button. To compensate for her absence, the company will make the display more. The only question is where will Apple put the fingerprint scanner. It is expected that the biometric module will be integrated directly into the glass smartphone. The iPhone 7 will have 3 GB of RAM, and the smartphone will be dressed in a dust – and waterproof, able to withstand complete immersion.
High probability that the new smartphone Apple will lose the 3.5 mm audio Jack, because in theory he is the limiter of the thickness of the device.
iPhone 7c
Apple introduced the iPhone 5c in September 2013 alongside the iPhone 5s, suggesting it as a more affordable modification flagship. So the iPhone 7c with 4-inch casing can act in the same role at the September Speciale 2016.
The sources agree that the 4-inch iPhone will get a fingerprint scanner Touch ID and the metal casing, but as a device of class “C”, he will be deprived of the key features of top models such as the technology of 3D Touch. Moreover, it is claimed that the handset will have a variety of color options, and its value will lie in the range of $400 to $500.
iPad Air 3
iPad Air 3 will be the further development of the current generation full-sized Apple iPads. Any revolutionary changes in design are not expected, especially given the radical decrease in the thickness of the iPad Air 2: Apple has managed to reduce the waist of the tablet to 6.1 mm. the Main improvement is expected on the part of the hardware capabilities of the gadget. The device can find the use of the new processor Apple or A10 A10X. iPad Air 3 can get a absolutely free Apple Pencil, a private analogue of a Smart Keyboard and a display with 3D Touch technology.
iPad mini 5
The iPad mini the fifth generation will be a miniature version of the iPad Air. He debuted together with the third iPad Air. According to preliminary data, the fifth “MINICOM” will receive the same hardware as that released last year iPad Air 2: 8MP iSight main camera, a series A8X processor, 7.9-inch Retina display with anti-glare and 802.11 ac Wi-Fi.
Apple TV 5
In 2016 Apple will reveal fifth generation of the Apple TV set-top box. The company allegedly plans to launch trial production of the device until the end of December, and mass production of devices will begin in early 2016. Apple TV 5 should be significantly more powerful processor. A new “stuffing” would dramatically increase the performance of the set-top box, which will require the use of special elements for heat dissipation.
Apple TV 5 need innovation, and in the sleeve at the Apple yet, but there are some minor problems with the current consoles that need to be addressed next year. Voice assistant Siri though, and supports most languages on mobile devices, but doesn’t want to talk to them on Apple TV. Restrictions for developers associated with Siri Remote control, do not allow to fill up the App Store for set-top boxes worth’s masterpieces.
Apple Watch 2

Apple Watch 2 will have a large army of fans, if to use the device will not need to have an iPhone. Wearable electronics are willing to buy many users who were disappointed in the first generation hours.
iPod touch 7G
iPod touch 7G – most unlikely on the list an Apple product. Support devices with touch screen – almost full analog iPhone but without the cellular module is impractical for many reasons. Under this year’s iPod Touch 6G have been lost on the market, it has no explicit target audience and no prospects at the line of touch players.
4K Thunderbolt Display
Rumors that Apple is planning to release a line of monitors Thunderbolt Display, equipped with razor-sharp display class Retina, go with June last year. Two years ago WWDC, the company introduced a productive workstation Mac Pro, which received support 4K. Latest model MacBook also supports super crisp images. A matter of honor for Apple to release a branded display device for owners of the flagship PC. Moreover, most recently, the California giant has updated the monitor in 2011.

The official presentation of the platform, is expected in June at WWDC 2016, after which the beta build of OS will get the developers and the participants in the test program. In the operating system users will see Apple’s ideas for the development of the mobile OS under the leadership of chief designer Jonathan Quince, who in October 2012 has led the team in designing the GUI interface.
“Ten” will be released simultaneously with the new iPhone and will get a number of programmatic changes, including new features for the iPad Pro, the potential of which is clearly disclosed not 100 percent. Traditionally, many innovations OS borrow from the world of jailbreak. Users expect a custom control, profiles and more features to Touch ID scanner (hide applications, restrict access, etc).
iOS 10 will work on most devices that support iOS 9. Unfortunately, the owners of iPhone 4S and iPad 2 will most likely not be able to upgrade to a recent release.
OS X 10.12
At WWDC 2015, Apple made it clear that the releases of OS X now, rather, will follow mobile trends than to set them the tone. This is evidenced by the fact that the graphics engine is Metal, who a year ago made his debut in the iOS, only now added to OS X. Thanks to him, drawing on a Mac will run 40% faster. The Split function View also emerged in parallel with OS X and iOS allows you to work simultaneously with two applications on the screen. Watch Apple’s new OS X inherited system font to San Francisco.

The Pinned Sites feature will allow you to pin your most used sites in Safari, and a new Mute button — mute the sound coming from any tab. The Spaces feature is designed to organize your applications and view them on separate screens so the user can share their program, for example, work and personal.
