Apple holds three or four events every year. And usually there is a spring event in March, this is not a developer conference in June, and the biggest event is in September in which Apple focuses on the iPhone and the Apple watch, and sometimes there is an event in October if there are iPads or Macs. It is expected to be released in the fall. Certainly, there will be a live follow-up to those events as usual, and then provide a detailed article of all that is stated in them, so what is expected of Apple at the March 25, 2019 conference, especially after the iPad Air, iPad mini and AirPods were launched a few days ago?


The Apple conference is scheduled to take place tomorrow, Monday, March 25th. According to rumors, Apple plans to focus on the service sector in the first place, especially the introduction of the new Apple News and TV service. Here's what we expect to see:

Apple News Service

Apple offers a news service with a monthly subscription of $ 9.99 per month, which gives Apple News users unlimited access to news and stories from paid websites such as the Wall Street Journal, and Apple guarantees access to the likes of those paid news sites and magazines in exchange for 50% of all subscription revenue.

The service will also include magazines, similar to the service provided by Texture, the magazine app that Apple purchased in 2018.

This app is no longer available on the App Store. :-(

TV broadcast service

Apple is also working on the TV broadcast service that is expected to include more than twenty TV shows and films underway. This is in addition to obtaining subscriptions from so-called "cable" service providers such as wired television and wired internet.

Apple plans to allow its customers to sign up for services like Starz and Showtime directly within the TV app, and Apple can also provide channel packages that collect content from multiple "cable" providers at a low price.

There is no information about the cost of this service, but Apple will announce it at the March event and launch it later this year, perhaps in the summer or fall. It is worth noting that many famous people were invited to attend this event, such as comedian Steve Carell and others.


iOS 12.2

The current beta version of this update already contains hints for Apple News. So, Apple is also expected to release the iOS 12.2 update right after the event, to give users access to the new subscriptions.

In addition to this subscription service, the Apple news app includes new countries such as Canada, and also introduces a new Animoji, HomeKit TV support for third-party TVs, as well as many other modifications that we will talk about later in detail when the update is released.

It is also worth noting that the upcoming iOS 12.2 is already installed on devices The new iPad That was announced a few days ago, as well as updates for Apple AirPods.


New features for Apple Pay

According to Bloomberg, Apple plans to preview the new Apple Pay features at the March 25 event that will lay the groundwork for the iPhone's credit card partnership with Goldman Sachs, and Goldman Sachs is an American multinational financial and investment services institution, one of the most famous banking institutions in the United States and the world. . But it is not entirely clear what new features Apple will announce, but there are updates to the design of the Wallet app in iOS 12.2, which Apple will definitely highlight at its conference. The wallet app is expected to contain features unavailable to a standard credit card, such as budget tools, spending recommendations, limits, and more.


New hardware

Since Apple announced a number of products a few days ago, and expectations that the iPod touch of the seventh generation will soon be released in addition to AirPower soon, we do not expect to see any announcements of any new devices at this event, but who knows, Apple might surprise us.


other details

The March 25 event will be organized at ten o'clock in the morning American time and at seven o'clock in the evening Cairo time, that is, eight o'clock in Mecca time. At the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park. Apple intends to broadcast the event live on its website, and through the Events app on Apple TV.
