Leaker says Apple will unveil two brand new products later today

• A leaker said Apple will announce the Apple Watch Series 6 and the next-gen iPad Air on Tuesday, according to information received from unnamed sources.
• The Apple Watch Series 5 is no longer available to order at some retailers, including the online Apple store in some markets.
• The cheapest iPad Air version seems to be sold out, with online orders having a late September ship date estimate.

Apple is doing things differently when it comes to new product launches. The novel coronavirus pandemic forced the company to cancel all in-person press conferences that it might have had planned this year. The main WWDC 2020 keynote was prerecorded and streamed online, and the iPhone 12 launch event will probably have the same fate. The virus is still far from being contained, with California fighting to flatten the curve.

It’s not just product launches that changed this year. The iPhone announcement that takes place in the second week of September has been postponed to October, according to some leaks. Apple confirmed a few weeks ago that the iPhone 12 will not make the late September launch date, following delays related to the health crisis. At the time, Apple never said when it would hold the iPhone announcement event, and most people assumed it would still happen in mid-September. A couple of prominent leakers offered earlier this week conflicting views on an imminent Apple announcement. Apple would either launch new products on Tuesday via regular press releases or just reveal the iPhone 12 press event date. One of them says the Apple Watch 6 and next-gen iPad Air are due going to be unveiled this week, as initially scheduled.
