Rumors have it that Apple AR gadgets will have a new HomePod-style spatial audio feature that would bring a more realistic AR experience. This is a great innovation since it will increase the depth of sound of the tech giant's new augmented reality devices, including the new Apple AR headset. A senior source told 9to5Mac that until now, the depth perception of the smartphone has provided the audio focus for AR apps such as Apple Maps, with worst-case scenarios of having to hold the phone front-to-back. Apple's new device will reportedly feature a "Active Edge," the same earpiece-inspired speaker system and spatial audio that comes with Apple's new Speaker iMac statement.

Despite the impending holiday season, Microsoft and future iPad devices in the $529 category will continue to receive the same discounts. The sale also coincides with the full release of the Project Scorpio, which will debut at, most likely, the media events on December 14-16th.

Newegg was listed in the list of provider stores where must be on board for the discounted device, without any indication that all retailers will sell the new iPad under the same throwaway accessories.

The new device is expected to come in January, alongside an upgraded 11.6 inch MacBook Pro, and perhaps a new Retina MacBook Air. Apple is also expected to announce two updated Macbooks or MacBook Airs, the next iteration in the Retina line! Apple Watch 2 will not be announced this month and further delays remain the chances of an October ARM-based Mac Pro launch. By now, we would be downright impressed on this day.
