I honestly don't know how some people can afford to keep buying the latest Apple tech...on top of all other costs of living. Alright for some, I guess.
I upgrade yearly through T-Mobile’s JUMP offering. After I pay off half of my current phone I can upgrade and send in my 15PM in exchange. This year they want a $369 deposit because of my payment history (lol oops) but I’ve saved up for that, plus about $90 tax. I’ll pay about $50 a month for the phone for a year before the process starts all over. I could never pay $1200 outright.
 
So is this event just for iPhones?

I am waiting for Mac Mini and Mac Studio updates / M4 - will there be another event for these later this year, in October perhaps?

I ask because I am not familiar with these Apple events. Thanks!
When have you seen an iPhone event also announce new Macs? Maybe a long time ago but I don’t remember. Yes just iPhone
 
I think Google thought it would mess a bit with apple by releasing products on the 10th and this is why they moved this to the 9th
If there was Apple event and Google event on the same day I would watch Apple event. Who would watch Google event? I think only people who have decided in advance that they won’t buy Apple products :D
 
The title for EU is “It’s blow time”
For all iPhones sold outside the EU the lightning port will be reintroduced!
Honestly, test it outside the EU first, let's see if it makes any sense at all.
Of course Apple won't wait long to introduce AI in the EU, they certainly want to sell new iPhones in their second most important market!

I had my iPhone 7+ until I upgraded to the 14 Pro Max. Not sure why people have to update every year or two. The devices now are so close in features despite the marginal speed bump. I guess keep with the Joneses.
There's usually one feature or another that will suck people into updating every 2-3 years. I went from 11pro to 14pro for the much needed screen brightness increase (well worth it) BUT in most other ways, the 14pro is my least favorite phone of all time! It's such an uncomfortable lead weight, that I'm looking for any excuse to get rid of it now!
 
What are the chances of an updated AirPods Max or AirPods Max 2? It's beyond ridiculous how long we've been waiting now. At the very least just a moderate update - USB-C, H2 chip, new colours as rumoured.

It was mentioned a few weeks back but Mac Rumors don't seem to be mentioning it lately but still mentioning new AirPods.

Not sure why this type of comment is made over and over again. It's a borderline bullying comment in an attempt to justify and feel better about your decision.

Considering the price slashing on the Airpods Max, my gut tells me they might get a new model......but we haven't heard a peep about them, like we have new regular Airpods. If I was to bet money on it, I would bet we do NOT get new Airpods Max at this event.
 
It's kind of discouraging when they say 15PMX will only have a few AI features. Now it's making me reconsider upgrading lol.

I already need to upgrade my Ipad (10th Gen)
 
Always excited for an Apple event, sometimes let down but always upgrade…🤷‍♂️🤔🙉 This year a white iPhone 16 Pro Max 🍏📱
I’m leaning toward the white PM also, unless the bronze is killer in reviews, so far it appears to be a bland brown. Still thinking I’ll just do white. Never had a white iPhone and I think they look gorgeous.

For once I actually have no interest in anything this year. Got my M3 MBP last fall. Totally happy with my 15 Pro Max. 12.9" iPad Pro 2020 with magic keyboard is still going strong. Watch S7 does everything I need it to do. They might surprise me, but nothing of the rumoured new models makes me feel the need to upgrade.
 
Guys, the glow is just Apple Intelligence. Maybe the latest chips can do even cooler stuff. That's how you drive new iPhone sales, especially when they haven't upgraded a whole lot else.

I knew it was the 9th. I don’t know why people were convinced it was the 10th
Maybe because every September or October iPhone launch has occurred on a Tuesday, unless that week Tuesday fell on September 11th, in which case they held it on Wednesday? The last Monday iPhone event was June 7th, 2010, for the iPhone 4 which Steve Jobs announced. Apple follows pretty typical patterns for iPhone events, so this is unusual.
