[MacRumors]

Four days out from Apple's "Awe dropping" fall event on Tuesday, September 9, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has summarized his expectations for what the company will reveal next week.

Aside from a couple of new details and the inclusion of some more recent leaks from other sources, much of the following is a recap of Gurman's reports over the last several months:

Bear in mind that Gurman's summary is not exhaustive and omits several other key changes to the above devices that have been rumored from other sources.

[choreographics]

Probably around 70 new Apple Watch bands, which might be the most exciting part after the keynote.

 

[slippery-pete]

My Uncle Sal plans to go to local Apple Store today to see if he can get any intel.

 

[Kylo83]

So no new screen for 17 pro max with extra brightness and AirPods Pro no lossless or improvements to sound quality, also no thermal cooling for iPhones, from marks guide

 

[eqquito]

I know its not going to happen but I need the iPad Pro with M5 announcement, I have been holding on buying a new iPad and will be buying the next one.

 

[flybass]

Weak year for the Apple.

 

[iMac The Knife]

Another snooze-fest incoming...

 

[kiranmk2]

No A19 chip for the iPhone 17? (A19 only listed for Air model and A19 pro from Pro models) I really hope Apple doesn't start this crap again.

 

[Stiille]

Just because he didn’t mentioned it, does not mean that it won’t be there - just relax until Tuesday morning

 

[wanha]

so probably no new Apple TV next week then... the wait continues

 

[Laplace22]

Im so on the fence for a new watch. The Garmin fenix 8 Amoled DLC-titan 47mm or the AW ultra 3. Ive had several apple watches but changes to Garmin a few years back and just love the extra battery time. Only feature Im missing on Garmin is Apple pay (but Garmin pay works fine) and GSM so I can train without bringing along my phone. All the other features with million apps on AW was fun for 3 days but after that never really used as it was more conveniant to just use the phone. So AW Ultra 3 with 4-5 days battery and Im buying it. Otherwise its gonna be a new Garmin

 

[DMG35]

The iPhone Air is such a waste of a product. Ask Samsung how the sales of their device are going. People don't want an ultra thin phone that can't last half a day off the charger. I just don't understand Apple's thinking on this one.

 

[Kylo83]

He normally knows all the small details, he mentioned it for the watch

 

[DMG35]

. So AW Ultra 3 with 4-5 days battery and Im buying it.

There is a 0% chance that is happening.

 

[Falco McGregor]

so probably no new Apple TV next week then... the wait continues

Probably launching in October with the iPads and HomePods.

It’s a trial run of one-half of the foldable that’s coming out next year.

 

[Happy_John]

What? There's an Apple Event next Tuesday? Without this article I would have never known (apart from the multiple articles every day about it).

 

[BelgianChoklit]

No report from Prosser on what to expect next week? Or is he still in he "uncomfortable" reporting Apple stuff now?

 

[Happy_John]

My Uncle Sal plans to go to local Apple Store today to see if he can get any intel.

He'll be out of luck. There'll be a distinct lack of intel(ligence) from Apple. It's either been declared "vintage/obsolete" or its release has been delayed.

 

[Agent007]

and a "pricey, high-end" cross-body strap that has apparently been a priority of the company’s design team.

High-end "eco-friendly" plastic, no doubt. Pricey when you get mugged and have to replace your phone. "The accelerometer senses when iPhone is snatched and automatically wipes your personal information."

I know its not going to happen but I need the iPad Pro with M5 announcement, I have been holding on buying a new iPad and will be buying the next one.

iPad workflows are suffering with those slow M4s. Can't believe they gimped a tablet like that.

runway-style camera bump

More like run-away style.

 

[Magnusson]

Why so many different iPhones? Whats happening.. lol.

 

[H00513R]

My Uncle Sal plans to go to local Apple Store today to see if he can get any intel.

They dropped Intel years ago…

 

[klasma]

My Uncle Sal plans to go to local Apple Store today to see if he can get any intel.

I think they phased out all Intel by now.

I’m only watching to find out when the new iPadOS 26 is going to be released and to see if they say anything more about it. I don’t need a phone and my iPad Pro M2 and iPad mini are all I need for the present.
