Apple Watch Series 5

Like last year, Apple is also expected to announce the upgrade to its Apple Watch and the question remains what additional things can the company add **to an almost perfect smartwatch** . The company is expected to update the device with the new S5 chipset at the very least. A rumour has suggested that Apple could be adding a Sleep tracking feature to the device as well. New strap colours are also expected.

16-inch MacBook Pro

The **16-inch variant of Apple's popular line of MacBook Pro** laptops has been in the pipeline for sometime now. Apple was expected to announce it this year and while the iPhone event is not the ideal place to launch the product, we expect the company to address the laptop at the very least.
