Apple’s highly anticipated annual fall event is arriving soon, with the company confirming plans for a product launch on September 12, 2023. As hype builds, what can we expect Apple to unveil at this keynote speech? While specifics remain under wraps, analysis of rumors and previous launches provides clues.
About Apple’s September Events
For well over a decade, Apple’s September gatherings consistently showcase critical new releases setting the tone for the company’s product lineup.
This year’s event will likely follow the familiar formula, with Tim Cook taking the stage to announce the new iPhone 15 lineup, preview operating system updates, and possibly reveal “one more thing”.
Given Apple’s affinity for spectacle, people anticipate a polished prerecorded video packed with new goodies rather than an in-person presentation. But what exactly will those goodies be? Let’s break it down.
The Star of the Show: iPhone 15
The headliner of Apple’s fall keynote is inevitably the iPhone. The iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will almost certainly debut.
Rumors indicate the iPhone 15 will bring:
- The powerful new A16 processor
- An always-on display (Pro models)
- Upgraded 48MP camera (Pro models)
- USB-C charging port
- Scrapped SIM tray
- Dynamic Island on all models
- Higher base storage tiers
- New colors and materials
While the iPhone 14 was an incremental update, the 15 looks to deliver more substantial enhancements. But the iPhone will also likely share the stage with…
Apple Watch Series 8
Alongside new iPhones, Apple previews its latest Apple Watch revisions in the fall. We’ll probably see the Apple Watch Series 8 unveiled.
- Potential Apple Watch Series 8 upgrades include:
- Low-power mode for extended battery life
- Enhanced activity and sleep tracking
- Rugged Pro model with stronger frame
- Temperature sensor for women’s health insights
- New colors and bands
With watchOS 9’s expanded capabilities, the Series 8 has room to push the Apple Watch into exciting new territory.
More Potential Announcements
Beyond the flagship iPhone and Apple Watch developments, what else could Apple have in store?
We may see:
- Release dates for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14 and other OS updates
- A new standard AirPods model with USB-C case
- An updated entry-level iPad with A14 chip
- Apple Silicon Mac refreshes
- Apple TV enhancements
- Previews of Apple Car development
And of course, Apple loves to surprise us with just “one more thing”. We’ll have to wait until September 12th to find out!
Final Words
If history holds, Apple’s September event will set the agenda for its ecosystem. The presumed iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 8 headlines will establish the foundation.
But with Tim Cook promising 2023 will be “chock-full of new innovations”, expect memorable moments beyond the main attractions as Apple lays out its vision for the future.
