Great news for Apple fans—9To5Mac reports that the Cupertino-based tech giant company, Apple, will start the online sales for the revamped Apple TV and the new iPad Pro later this October. Both products will be then available for retail in Apple stores starting the first week of November.
TechnoBuffalo reports that although the items may be bought earlier than the actual in-store retail dates, there seems to be no early-purchase advantage: buyers may purchase the items online later this month, but the products will only ship to customers early in November.
These reports come from 9to5Mac's unnamed but reliable sources, not from the company. Apple has said that the Apple TV will be available some time in October, and the iPad Pro will be available next month, however, they did not say that the Apple TV units will arrive early November, and that the iPad will be available for sale online late this month.
The Apple news outlet adds that Cupertino prepares to launch the new 21.5-inch iMac with 4K retina display as early as next week, most likely accompanied by new accessories “Magic Mouse 2,” “Magic Keyboard,” and “Magic Trackpad 2.”
First reported by Consomac, there is a code in OS X that revealed Apple's preparations for the accessories.
So far, although there are no details yet available for the accessories, some are guessing that Apple would add force-touch to the Magic Mouse and Trackpad, which allows users the convenience of the pressure-sensitive touch technology first utilized in the Apple Watch, MacBook trackpads, and iPhone 6s.
Earlier reports say that the Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2 are reported to be equipped with Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy technology, a welcome upgrade to the formerly equipped Bluetooth 2.0. The accessories are also powered by integrated Lithium-Ion battery packs, doing away with AA battery use.
There seems to be no designs worth noting just yet, save for what seems to be a power button at the top left side of the keyboard.
About the iPad Pro that's getting many fans excited, it's reportedly going to be the largest iPad to date, equipped with a 12.9-inch display. It's powered by a 64-bit A9X processor, 4GB of RAM, and will have 32 or 128GB storage options.
It will run on the iOS9, come with four speakers, and will be available in silver, gold, and space gray, starting at $799.
According to iMore, the Apple TV will be available for $149 with 32GB of storage, and $199 for 64GB
