Well, no live event this year, but Apple still has products in the pipeline, so the show must go on.
This year:
1) iOS 10.14
2) WatchOS 7
3) tvOS 14
5) iPadOS 14
6) MacOS 10.16 Santa SomethingSomething
I think this will be the year that Apple announces ARM Macs are coming (they pre-announced Intel systems with a 6-month to 1-year lead time). They need time to get developers working on this stuff, so if systems are going to ship later this year or first half of 2021 then the OS must be announced now!
Or do they just announce the crazy things in secret with, "Oh, hey, everything works just fine. We've developed a top secret emulator that runs all of your x86 code with no worries!" Seems to me that is a bad idea because developers will have no reason to write native software.
Hmmm …
I think it has to be announced in advance.
Apple also has to have time to cut orders with Intel. No reason to order 5 million chips if you only need … 1/3 of them?
Any-hoo, chat away!
