AAPL LONG SET UP (IPHONE 12 & 12 MAX) Apple has officially announced its 2020 flagship iPhones: the $999 iPhone 12 Pro and $1,099 12 Pro Max, featuring support for 5G and a new squared-off design that’s reminiscent of the iPhone 4. It’s also the first major redesign for Apple’s full-screen smartphones since it introduced the bezel-less design with the iPhone X in 2017.Apple has officially announced its 2020 flagship iPhones: the $999 iPhone 12 Pro and $1,099 12 Pro Max, featuring support for 5G and a new squared-off design that’s reminiscent of the iPhone 4. It’s also the first major redesign for Apple’s full-screen smartphones since it introduced the bezel-less design with the iPhone X in 2017.The new iPhone 12 Pro models will feature Apple’s A14 Bionic chip which VP Greg Joswiak has previously said was the “most powerful chip ever made” by Apple. The new chip is Apple’s first to use a 5nm process (instead of the 7nm process used on last year’s A13 Bionic). Apple says that both the new 6-core CPU and the four-core GPU are the fastest ever, with performance that the company claims is up to 50 percent faster than any other phone.
One of the biggest new additions on this year’s models is 5G. The iPhone 12 Pro will support both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G, meaning that both phones should work with all the various types of 5G networks from all three major US carriers. Apple says that it offers “the most 5G bands of any smartphone” promising that it’ll support a wide array of cellular carriers around the world and their various 5G standards.
Also new — and exclusive to the iPhone 12 Pro models — is a LIDAR sensor, which, similar to the iPad Pro, will be used for additional AR effects. Apple also says that the LIDAR scanner will be used to help focus in low-light situation, making autofocus for low-light photography up to six times faster. It also enables Night Mode portrait photography shots.
The new iPhone 12 Pro models also offer “Ceramic Shield” technology, which Apple says offers glass that’s tougher than any other smartphone display, with four times better “drop performance” when it comes to preventing your phone from cracking when dropped.
Like last year’s iPhone 11 Pro models, Apple is once again offering a triple-camera system on both the iPhone 12 Pro, with 12-megapixel wide, telephoto, and ultra-wide camera lenses. The wide camera now offers a faster ƒ/1.6 aperture, which Apple says offers 27 percent improved low-light performance, while the 52mm focal telephoto now offers 4x optical zoom.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max builds out the camera system even further. There’s a new 12MP telephoto with a 65mm focal length, that can optically zoom in up to 2.5 times. There’s a new wide camera with a f/1.6 apeture and a new OIS system. The wide sensor is also 47 percent larger, which combines with the lower aperture for 87 percent better low-light performance.
Apple also teased a new feature it calls “Apple ProRAW” that will be available on the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max later this year. The company says that it’ll offer existing computational photography benefits like its Deep Fusion and Smart HDR along with the flexibility of RAW photos. The format will be available across all four cameras, and will let users adjust things like sharpening, color highlights, and more while still taking advantage of Apple’s existing photography enhancements.
The new iPhone 12 Pro phones will also be able to shoot in HDR video, a first for the product line, including support for shooting directly in Dolby Vision HDR. The iPhone 12 will also be able to edit Dolby Vision HDR video straight from the Photos app.
The iPhone 12 Pro will start at $999, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max will start at $1,099, with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options. Preorders for the iPhone 12 Pro will start on Friday, October 16th and will ship a week later on October 23rd, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max will see preorders on November 6th and ship on November 13th.

September 2020 Event
Apple held an event on Tuesday, September 15, unveiling the new Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch SE, iPad Air, and eighth-generation iPad.

October 2020
New iPhones
Fall always brings new iPhones, and this year will be no exception. We're expecting four new iPhone models in 5.4-, 6.1-, and 6.7-inch size options, all of which are rumored to feature OLED displays and 5G connectivity.
The 6.7-inch and one of the 6.1-inch iPhone models will be "Pro" models priced higher than the 5.4-inch model and the other 6.1-inch model, which are expected to be more affordable alternatives akin to the iPhone 11.
Apple in July confirmed that this year's iPhones are going to be a little bit delayed. Rather than launching in September, the new iPhones are expected to become available for purchase a few weeks later in October, and current rumors suggest we'll also have an October iPhone event.

That’s the way..uh..uh! 🕺 That’s the way..uh..uh!
That’s the way we like it! Not only KC & the Sunshine Band lifts the mood but also confirmed turnaround zones like the one on our Apple chart. We think the low in wave in Red is in. Subsequently, we expect share prices to rise until we hit the $160 area. The next major hurdle for the bulls is the $128.78 mark.
Feel free to share your thoughts! Happy Trading!

AirTags
Apple is working on an "AirTag" that will compete with products like Tile, offering up Bluetooth tracking for items like keys, wallets, cameras, and more. AirTags will integrate into the Find My app and will take advantage of offline tracking capabilities. Recent rumors have suggested AirTags could be introduced alongside new iPhones.
AirPods Studio
Apple is rumored to be working on high-end over-ear Bluetooth headphones with an all-new design and superior sound quality, which may be called "AirPods Studio." There may be two versions in development, a premium model with leather-like fabrics and a fitness-focused model with lighter, breathable materials. Detachable ear cups and headband padding may be included, which would allow these components to be swapped out. The headphones are expected to feature Active Noise Cancellation like the AirPods Pro. Apple is targeting a 2020 launch date, and pricing could be around $350.
Cheaper HomePod
Apple is working on a smaller, cheaper HomePod that is expected to feature the same general form factor but with reduced audio quality and a smaller size. Apple is rumored to be targeting a release date in the second half of the year.
Late 2020
Apple is working on Arm-based Macs that use its own Apple Silicon chips, and while we don't yet know what the first Arm-based Mac will be, Apple has said that the first machine equipped with Apple Silicon will be released before the end of the year.
Other Products in the Works
There are several other products that have been rumored, but we don't know exactly when to expect them.
Small Wireless Charging Mat
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said Apple is working on a "smaller wireless charging mat" set to be released in 2020. No other context or information was provided on the upcoming product, so it's not clear if this wireless charging mat will be a scaled down version of the AirPower, which was discontinued, or something else entirely.
Low-Cost iPad
Apple is rumored to be working on a new low-cost iPad that could come in the second half of 2020.
New Apple TV
Code found in an internal build of iOS 13 references a new Apple TV 11,1 model, suggesting Apple is working on an updated Apple TV. Little is known about the new device, but it could feature an A12 processor. There's no word on when we can expect a release.
New 16-inch MacBook Pro
Apple refreshed the 13-inch MacBook Pro in May, adding scissor switch keyboards and a new 32GB maximum RAM option, but there are also rumors that a new 16-inch MacBook Pro will be released in 2020, and it could feature a mini-LED display. It's not clear if the ongoing health crisis will affect Apple's plans, however, and the rumored mini-LED MacBook Pro could be delayed until 2021.
12-Inch MacBook
While there have been rumors that the first Arm-based Mac with an Apple Silicon chip will be a MacBook Pro, Chinese language newspaper The China Times believes Apple is working on a new variant of the 12-inch Retina MacBook that weighs less than one kilogram (2.2lbs).
The MacBook is said to feature an A14X processor codenamed "Tonga," which will have a battery life between 15 and 20 hours. The site says that the machine could launch in 2020, but most Arm-based rumors have focused on the MacBook Pro and iMac.
Refreshed iMac
Apple refreshed the 27-inch iMac in August, but there are still rumors of a 23 to 24-inch iMac with "iPad Pro design language" and thinner bezels similar to the bezels on the Pro Display XDR, which could come in late 2020 or early 2021. This iMac is also expected to have an Apple Silicon chip and a custom-designed Apple GPU.
Apple TV
Apple is working on a new version of the Apple TV with an updated processor and a redesigned Apple TV remote that could have a Find My-like feature that allows the remote to be tracked down when it's lost within the house. The new Apple TV is expected to launch in 2021.

Apple - US Tech worth more than entire EU Stock Market! 🐂
According to Bank of America, the US tech sector is now worth more than the entire European stock market.
Although, in the wake of the recent setback in the tech sector, the main concern seems to be massive overvaluation as a reason for the latest selloff.
We, however, see arguments against a pessimistic view. Many tech stocks are seen as profiteers of the virus crisis due to the increasing pressure to digitize. Stocks like Apple or Amazon are already showing greater resistance to the fear of the second pandemic wave and new lockdown measures.
Apple, for example, had rallied the previous evening after an early approach to the 100-dollar mark and went out of trading three percent higher.
Since the recent high, the market has reached the yellow target box for the current pullback. Even though the ideal target was breached to the downside by $2, we expect the bulls to step back in very soon, taking Appel to new all-time highs.
Under $128.78, the alternative scenario should still be taken into consideration. We give this scenario a 30% probability, which would pave the way towards $95, bevor the current decline is completed.
To summarize, both scenarios are pointing to new all-time highs in the medium-term perspective.
What's your opinion on the tech sector?
