Top 10 New Apple Products Coming in September
Miscellaneous / / September 05, 2023
iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Ultra, Apple Watch 9, AirPods Lite and more.
The long-awaited autumn presentation will take place already soon, and after analyzing all the insides, we can most likely talk about upcoming announcements.
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
The flagship iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be the main release, with the latter arguably getting most of the innovations. Eat opinionthat Apple will abandon the cumbersome name of this model and replace it with the iPhone 15 Ultra, by analogy with the clock.
Smartphones will inherit the design of their predecessors, but the edges of the side faces will be more rounded. The devices will get the same 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays with ProMotion and a dynamic island, albeit with smaller bezels. Also, judging by the rumors, the stainless steel frame will be replaced by a stronger and lighter titanium.
Both new products will be equipped with an A17 processor, 8 GB of memory and a U2 ultra-wideband chip, as well as a USB-C connector with support for USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3. The new connector, in addition to fast data transfer, will also provide charging power up to 35 watts. Another change is a programmable button that will be built into the place of the silent mode switch. By analogy with the Apple Watch Ultra, it will allow you to launch various functions and actions, including quick commands, without unlocking the device.
Exclusive to iPhone 15 Ultra, however, is a completely redesigned camera unit with a new periscope lens, 6x optical zoom, and support for 8K video recording.
iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
Basic line update iPhone will be much more restrained. The key innovations of smartphones are the display with a dynamic island and thinner frames, as in older models, as well as the replacement of the Lightning port with USB‑C. The latter, in contrast to the iPhone 15 Pro and Ultra, does not support 35-watt charging and only with USB 2.0.
The difference between the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus is one - the screen is 6.1 versus 6.7 inches. Otherwise, the devices will be identical: an A16 processor from last year's Pro line, 6 GB of RAM (possibly faster LPDDR5), a U2 ultra-wideband chip, and, according to some rumors, camera upgrade to 48 MP.
Apple Watch Series 9
The Series 9 update is likely to be very minor. The company holds all the developments for the tenth anniversary Apple Watch, which will be next year, and promises a powerful rethinking of the gadget, as it was with the iPhone X.
The Apple Watch 9 will come in the same design and size of 41mm and 45mm, with the only improvement being the S9 chip. If you believe insiders, it will provide a significant increase in performance and improved autonomy. Otherwise, there will be no changes compared to last year's Series 8.
Apple Watch Ultra 2
You can’t count on a big update of the extreme series of watches that was released only a year ago, but it will definitely be. Due to thinner frames, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 screen diagonal can increase from 1.9 to 2.1 inches. And the new S9 chip will provide a performance boost and improved autonomy.
Eat information about reducing the weight of the watch, which could mean a thinner and smaller case. Rumors also point to new color "dark titan", which was originally planned for the first generation, but was never implemented.
iPad mini 7
Of the tablet announcements, the iPad Mini seems the most likely, although it's not 100% guaranteed either. Innovations, if any, will affect only the filling. Apple Maybe equip the tablet with both the A16 chip and get by with the improved A15, which is installed in the iPhone 14.
An increase in internal memory is also expected - 128 instead of 64 GB in the minimum version would be a reasonable step, given the ever-growing volume of files. If this happens, then it is logical to assume an increase in the older version of the drive to 512 GB.
AirPods Lite, AirPods with USB-C
Rumors about a new model in the AirPods line have been around for a long time, and it will most likely be shown at the September event. It is assumed that these will be simplified headphones at a more affordable price ($ 99), which will be called AirPods Lite or AirPods SE, similar to the iPhone SE and Apple Watch SE.
With the transition to USB-C in the iPhone, Apple is also likely to release updated versions of existing models. AirPods with the same port. However, it is not clear if there will be any other changes besides this.
Taking the idea of a new connector further, we can assume that Apple will introduce a version of EarPods with USB-C to connect to the iPhone 15, or completely abandon branded wired headphones.
New accessories
As is usually the case during the September event, Apple will introduce a line of new iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands. Insiders claimthat this year the company will be ditching the signature leather cases that accompany each generation of iPhone releases in favor of more environmentally friendly materials.
As for watch accessories, expected at least one new version of the Modern Buckle strap with a magnetic buckle, which, unlike the previous one, will not be made of leather, but of textile. Again, for the sake of the environment.
Apple will also release cables with USB-C plugs on both sides. They will have a stronger fabric braid in the colors of the new iPhone 15. Moreover, it is assumed that the company will increase their length from 1 to 1.5 meters.
Update iOS, iPadOS, watchOS
Traditionally, Apple announces the release dates of the final versions. iOS 17 and watchOS 10. As a rule, they can be installed a few days after the presentation. This year, the release is likely to take place on Monday, September 18th. iPadOS usually becomes available with iOS, but sometimes comes out a little later.
