In just over a fortnight, an Apple event will take place (we assume). Simon and Nic lock in their final predictions for iPhone, Watch, iPad and maybe more!

Rumours of a Mac Mini and MacBook Air replacement run high, so will this mean a separate event altogether? Pondering and potential pricing included.

It’s the calm before the storm - hop on the hype train and get ready for a predictive / addictive Apple Slice!
