Apple’s iPhone 14 motorboat lawsuit is conscionable weeks away, and it’s expected to showcase a scope of caller devices — not conscionable a caller iPhone. We’re besides connected the lookout for 3 (yes, we said three) caller Apple Watch models and adjacent a refreshed brace of AirPods Pro earbuds.

Apple’s expected to clasp a tiny in-person lawsuit astatine its Apple Park field and watercourse the amusement online, akin to what it did with WWDC successful June. Here’s what we mightiness spot astatine Apple’s hardware-heavy event, which is expected to hap connected September 7th, 2022.

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max get immoderate large upgrades

Apple will, of course, uncover the marque caller iPhone 14 successful September, but the modular exemplary apt won’t beryllium the prima of the show. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are expected to transportation the bulk of the caller and breathtaking features.

There are 3 large features expected successful the 14 Pro and Pro Max: an always-on display (a diagnostic Android phones person had for years); a 48-megapixel rear camera with a larger sensor; and a surface that gets escaped of the notch successful favour of smaller camera cutouts. The telephone should besides get an upgraded A16 processing chip. It’s an awesome database of features that Apple whitethorn usage to warrant a rumored terms hike.

However, it doesn’t look similar the modular mentation of the iPhone 14 volition travel with galore large changes. The biggest update to the non-Pro exemplary is expected to beryllium the instauration of a larger 6.7-inch show option. Previous rumors from expert Ming-Chi Kuo bespeak that the iPhone 14 (plus the Pro and Pro Max) may besides person a amended selfie camera that uses autofocus. Performance-wise, the basal iPhone 14 volition apt usage the aforesaid A15 processor utilized successful the iPhone 13 series.

And if you’re a tiny telephone lover, I’m atrocious to accidental that a caller Mini apt won’t marque an quality this year.

New Apple Watch models: Series 8, SE, and “Pro”

Apple’s gearing up to motorboat 3 caller Apple Watch models: the Watch Series 8; a refreshed SE; and a caller rugged “Pro” exemplary designed for athletes who partake successful utmost sports.

Let’s commencement with the Series 8. According to Bloomberg newsman Mark Gurman, the next-gen ticker volition travel equipped with a caller S8 chip, but it won’t connection a notable show upgrade implicit the S7 and S6 chips. While Apple isn’t expected to see a mode to show your humor unit conscionable yet, it whitethorn travel with a somesthesia sensor that will observe if you person a fever.

Meanwhile, the caller Apple Watch SE is expected to replace the fund Watch Series 3. It volition apt travel with the aforesaid S8 chip, an upgrade implicit the S5 spot the 2020 SE exemplary uses. Other than that, it doesn’t look similar immoderate different immense changes are successful store — it’s expected to clasp the aforesaid show size arsenic the existent SE.

As for the rumored rugged Apple Watch “Pro,” Gurman believes it could travel with a larger “nearly 2-inch display” that’s “more shatter-resistant.” It whitethorn besides athletics a “strong metal” lawsuit alternatively of a rubberized exterior that was hinted astatine previously. But don’t expect this ticker to beryllium inexpensive — Gurman expects it to outgo anyplace from $900 to $999.

The adjacent procreation of the AirPods Pro

The AirPods Pro haven’t received an update since their initial motorboat successful 2019. Now, astir 3 years later, we whitethorn yet spot the merchandise of the AirPods Pro 2.

First off, expect them to look different. The caller AirPods Pro whitethorn resemble the Beats Fit Pro, perchance with an in-ear helping extremity plan that drops the stem. They could besides person a absorption connected fittingness tracking acknowledgment to the imaginable for upgraded question sensors.

Kuo besides hinted astatine the possibility of the AirPods Pro supporting lossless audio, allowing for higher-quality sound. This would besides marque the AirPods Pro 2 the archetypal exemplary to usage the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) — adjacent the high-end AirPods Max don’t enactment it. If the AirPods Pro 2 bash extremity up supporting the Apple Lossless Audio Codec, it’ll beryllium absorbing to spot however Apple manages to get astir the limitations of Bluetooth, which mostly requires compressing audio quality.

The AirPods Pro 2 charging lawsuit whitethorn besides get an upgrade. It whitethorn travel with a tiny talker that makes a dependable erstwhile you effort to find it via the Find My app. Only the AirPods themselves marque a dependable close now, and adding the capableness to the lawsuit could travel successful useful if it ever gets separated from your AirPods.

We whitethorn get iOS 16 and watchOS 9 motorboat dates

We first heard astir iOS 16 erstwhile Apple announced it successful June, and we person a beauteous bully thought of what to expect based connected what we’ve seen from the nationalist beta. Gurman says Apple wrapped up improvement past week, and the institution is apt to motorboat a finalized mentation of iOS 16 wrong astir a week of its iPhone 14 event.

iOS 16 brings a fig of caller features, including the quality to edit and unsend messages arsenic good arsenic a customizable fastener screen. It besides introduces repositioned notifications that look astatine the bottommost of your fastener surface and a Live Activities fastener surface widget that provides updates connected real-time events, specified arsenic sports scores oregon nutrient transportation progress. Oh yeah, and battery percent is back... but not successful the mode you mightiness expect (or like).

In summation to iOS 16, Apple could besides launch watchOS 9 alongside its 3 caller smartwatches. The watchOS 9 beta has been retired for a mates of months now, and it’s acceptable to bring rather a fewer improvements to the Apple Watch. This includes caller moving metrics, medicine reminders, slumber signifier tracking, passive AFib monitoring, and enhanced watchface customization.

Is that all?

It looks similar this is it for this peculiar Apple event, but luckily, we shouldn’t person to hold overmuch longer for different circular of caller Apple products. Apple’s expected to instrumentality to its aged pre-pandemic docket of holding an iPhone lawsuit successful September and past a abstracted lawsuit successful October to showcase its caller iPads and Macs.

That’s erstwhile we tin expect a caller M2-equipped iPad Pro arsenic good arsenic an entry-level iPad with the A14 chip. Apple’s besides rumored to merchandise 3 caller Macs, including a Mac Mini, Mac Pro, and MacBook Pro, each with Apple’s M2 chip. iPadOS and macOS Ventura volition apt get astir this clip arsenic well.

We’re inactive waiting for Apple’s long-rumored mixed world headset, too, and it would beryllium benignant of a agelong changeable to expect the institution to amusement it disconnected this year. It looks similar Apple is making immoderate progress, though. Its board of directors reportedly got to trial retired the device earlier this year, but Kuo predicts the instrumentality won’t motorboat until January 2023.
