The company will publish a press release on its website

Launching new products in front of a live audience is obviously pretty much impossible right now, and Apple seemingly doesn’t want to switch to a digital event for all its new devices.

So while the 2020 iPhone is expected to be pushed back for about a month, not the same thing will happen with the Apple Watch Series 6 and the refreshed iPhone generation due in the fall.

More specifically, leaker Jon Prosser claims in a tweet that Apple will take the wraps off new Apple Watch and iPad models on Tuesday, and the whole thing would happen with a press release.

In other words, Apple won’t make a really big deal about these devices, so the only announcement will actually be a detailed press release published on the official apple.com website.

Most likely, the pre-order program for these new models would kick off on Friday, while the shipping will start a week later. This is the typical calendar that Apple has used before and is only possible if the company indeed announces the new models on Tuesday.

2020 iPhone

As for the new iPhones launching this year, there’s a good chance that the unveiling would take place in October, some one month later than usual.

And this is because the Cupertino-based tech giant has struggled to deal with the delays caused by the global health crisis, which has obviously affected the operations of its suppliers in various parts of the world, including China.

On the other hand, the 2020 iPhone is very likely to be announced as part of a digital event, as Apple always takes the wraps off new-generation models with much fanfare. When this is expected to happen, however, is something that remains to be seen, but October seems to be a very likely date now.
