Apple always shows a lot during major announcements, but the company also tends to leave out a bunch of other products. Then again, with the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus<\/a>, Apple Watch, and a whole new payment platform all revealed over the course of two hours . . . even the world’s biggest corporation couldn’t cover everything! Here are the most glaring omissions from the list of new Apple updates:<\/p>\n

1. Updates to the iPad Line<\/strong><\/p>\n

With three iPad models, it comes as a bit of a surprise that there are not just one, but two new iPhones and still no new tablet, especially with the holiday season fast approaching. The technology company already moved the iPad refresh cycle<\/a> from March or April to the holidays with the iPad 4 two years ago. No word on the tablets\u2014the current-generation iPad Air, iPad mini Retina, and older iPad 2 and iPad mini\u2014could spell anything from a small, incremental update in advance of the holiday season to a much larger release next year.<\/p>\n

Of course, with the iPhone 6 launching in just two weeks and the Apple Watch expected early next year, the next few months are already going to be very busy for the company.<\/p>\n

2. Apple TV Software Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with releasing the final Gold Master (GM) version of iOS 8 to developers, Apple has also seeded the GM for the latest software update on the Apple TV. It’s unclear what these new Apple updates will bring, but the company completely glossed over the home theater hardware and software, not saying a word or mentioning anything on the website.<\/p>\n

3. Anything New in iOS 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure, the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch reveal was almost exclusively about the hardware and not the software, and the company already shared plenty about iOS 8 during the Apple Developer Conference earlier this summer. But aside from a few notes regarding landscape mode for the iPhone 6 Plus and any software that’s centered around hardware components (like the Apple Pay system), nothing new about the updated operating system was mentioned. There will be hundreds of new features and functions, many of which have already been announced and even more that haven’t . . . and not a word was said.<\/p>\n

4. An Update on Mac<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Macs, which are currently expected to be released late this holiday and possibly even early next year, received no mention whatsoever, further bolstering rumors that new computers won’t ship without the latest processors from Intel<\/a>. As for rumors surrounding a 12-inch MacBook Air and the removal of the 13-inch MacBook Pro? Not a peep.<\/p>\n

Were there any other new Apple updates that were not talked about that deserve to be mentioned? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
