New Delhi: As the days count down to Apple’s annual September event, excitement among tech enthusiasts is palpable. Set to potentially take place on September 13, the event promises to be a platform for unveiling a slew of innovative products and updates. As customary, the rumor mill has been churning with speculations and leaks leading up to the event.
While the spotlight will undoubtedly be on the new iPhone 15 series, Apple aficionados can anticipate a diverse array of offerings on the horizon, including new Macs, the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and more.
Apple iPhone 15 Series:
At the heart of the event stands the eagerly awaited iPhone 15 series. Following the format of the previous year, this lineup is anticipated to comprise four models. The standard iPhone 15 models will succeed their iPhone 14 predecessors, while the Pro iPhone 15 models are poised to replace the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.
Notably, the high-end Pro models are expected to feature several significant upgrades. These include larger screens with slimmer bezels, lending a more immersive experience to users. The elusive periscope lens, a much-anticipated addition to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, promises improved optical zoom for the rear-facing camera.
One notable shift is the reported departure from Apple’s proprietary Lightning charger in favor of USB-C charging. This switch will undoubtedly simplify charging for users who won’t need a plethora of charging cables for their various devices. Moreover, the premium Pro models are likely to sport titanium edges instead of the traditional stainless steel, lending a sleek and modern aesthetic.
Apple is also reportedly considering an increase in the pricing of its high-end Pro models. Since 2019, the company has maintained a pricing structure that starts at $999 for the Pro model and $1,099 for the Pro Max model.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 and More:
Rumors are circulating about an upgraded Apple Watch Ultra model. With whispers of a black titanium case and a faster S9 chip, the Ultra 2 aims to elevate the user experience. While specifics remain scarce, this potential launch follows last year’s introduction of the Apple Watch Ultra, a ruggedized and high-end smartwatch.
New iMac and iPad Mini:
Anticipation is building for a vibrant new iMac, rumored to showcase Apple’s M3 processor. While the exterior design may remain largely unchanged, the under-the-hood upgrades are set to bring enhanced performance and efficiency to users. Additionally, there are murmurs about a new iPad mini 7, rumored to emphasize a new processor as its “main selling point.”
Software Upgrades:
Aside from hardware, the event is expected to shed light on upcoming software updates. iOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and watchOS 10, introduced at this year’s WWDC, will likely take center stage. Highlights include a Standby mode, personalized contact posters, and the Live Transcription feature for iOS 17. iPadOS 17 is set to introduce customization options akin to those found on iPhones, allowing users to tailor their iPad lock screens.
As the anticipation mounts, Apple’s September event promises to offer an exciting glimpse into a new realm of tech innovation, connectivity, and user-centric enhancements.
