I guess we're down to a matter of hours now, so I should get my predictions on the board.

What I want:
• Announced transition to Ax chips.
• New versions of Mac OS, iPhone OS, iPad OS, WatchOS

New iMac announcement
- larger screen with thinner bezel
- 9K resolution (8K editing plus toolbars.)
- All SSD, USB 4.0, FaceID, updated SD card slot.
- with Ax chip...shipping in October.

• New MacBook Ax and Mac Mini Ax announcement (developer machines.) Low-end Mac Mini returns to US$599.
• Mac Pro Ax teased, but not announced.
• No iPhone or iPad hardware announcements (hold for September event)

New Apple Console announcement (name change from Apple TV)
- brings a serious push to Apple TV, Music, Internet, HomeKit and Gaming services in one powerful package.
- much more streamlined and better looking than the forthcoming 'Boxy' and 'Curvy' consoles.
- fully upgraded remote and 1 gaming controller included.
- flight simulation and car racing games included, based on Apple Maps (Apple announces Claris-like gaming division)

• New Apple Watch, with a serious world breakthrough medical application (Apple solves diabetes monitoring?)

What we'll get:
• Announced transition to Ax chips.
• New versions of Mac OS, iPhone OS, iPad OS, WatchOS

New iMac announcement
- larger screen with thinner bezel.
- Mostly SSD, TouchID
- Available now with Intel chip...Ax version shipping in Spring 2021

• Either new MacBook Ax or Mini Ax announcement (for developers)
• No iPhone or iPad hardware announcements (hold for September event)
• New Apple TV with slightly better remote.
• New Apple Watch, with more battery life and temperature/other sensors for Covid-19 detection.
