Apple's September 15 Event Said to Be Focused on iPad and Apple Watch, Not iPhones

Or maybe the updates aren‘t small. Just saying.
Apple is designing their own 5G antenna at the last minute. The Qualcomm deal was signed only a year ago. Many other manufacturers are using Qualcomm’s solution or designed their own a long time ago.
Not really. The media has definitely been odd in 2020 though.
iPhones will happen, as usual. Everyone just relax and stop the “OMG 2020” drama.
Bad stuff happens every year.
There's got to be more announced than the Watch and iPad.
I am looking to buy an iPad Pro 12.9” now am deliberating whether to wait until Tuesday before I buy... grrr... was hoping for iPads to get announced today so I could safely order... but another weeks wait it is... I should imagine this event will be heavily iPad focused just due to the fact it’s the 10 year anniversary this year.
I would be very surprised to see new iPad Pros this year. I think the next update will have a mini-LED display and come next spring.
If whats been rumoured is true, they are not really big updates. Unless the rumours and leaks so far have not covered everything. I still think Apple could throw a curveball.
I read the other day that the new iPhones will come with iOS14.1 so that would suggest a normal September release timeframe for iOS and MacOS
I don't think the next generation of iPad Pros will be released until first half of 2021 based off the rumors. If you want a Pro now, you might as well get it now.
Damn it would be so weird if they don't announce the iPhones this month.
Think carefully about the consequences of that. Paper launch an iPhone but have no supplies until Oct/Nov.
What do you think happens to the price of iPhone 11? Why would Apple volunteer to Osborne their entire iPhone 11 lineup several weeks before it is necessary and lose $100 per iPhone?
Fingers crossed on AirPods Studios and the other products they have planned!
But in all likelihood, they'll save that for October.
Its probably signifying the flow of oxygen in the blood of the body
They don't HAVE to, we just want them to because it's September 😜 That being said, I assume they'll release them as soon as they are able to.
What if they have the One More Thing and show something big for AR, like Apple Glasses?
They don't have to ship them now, Apple Watch was announced months in advance, so was the original iPhone.
That's an unanswerable question until you know what it is included in the iPhones and therefore what they've gone through to get to this stage, and I'm not talking about rumours! There's already talk of Apple redesigning the antennae for the 5G so if true - still a rumour - then that's not bought off the shelf
True, but they will have a lot to announce in October if that’s the case. iPhones (which they usually give a lot of time too), ARM Mac’s, the rumoured Air Tags, AirPods studio headphones and a new mini Homepod. That will be a BIG event In October.

Apple announces ‘Time Flies’ event for September 15th
The iPhone 12 is supposedly delayed.

Weird holding event for potentially only 2 products and maybe Airtags. Being digital only and prerecorded makes less lame.

They did something similar with the iPhone X. Plus iPhone sales usually slump around this time and Apple only reports numbers by quarter (AFAIK) so as long as the pre-orders are high enough they're not really canalizing anything. Lots of unknowns, so I'm not confident, but it does not make sense to have two big events a month (or less) apart. So I think we'll see an iPhone reveal.
It seems that if there were just a delay in the iP12, then they would announce it now, with delayed order and shipping dates. There’s some precedence for that, I think.
I wonder if not announcing is an indication of uncertainty over when exactly they’ll be ready to ship... I’m pretty sure the devices would have to already be in production now even for an October release, so the only uncertainty I could imagine would be yield...
