We are getting started!

iClarified - 2020-11-10 09:51:43
We will be providing coverage of Apple's upcoming 'One More Thing' special event beginning November 10, 2020 at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET.

Apple is widely expected to unveil three new MacBooks at the event that feature custom Apple Silicon. However, we don't expect a major design change this year.


Additionally, Apple could use the event to unveil its long rumored AirTag tracker. It's likely that AirTag will make use of the ultra-wideband chip in newer devices for precise location tracking. Earlier today, an image leaked that purportedly shows a keychain accessory that could be used to hold the tracker.
