Exactly. At a time when the TRS-80 and the Commodore PET and such were monochrome displays, the Apple II had color.
Any product rumors are followed by “I’m broke but my wallet is open..” You’re buying apple on maxed out credit, and Apple is worth 2.5 T…
NOVEMBER?! I hope the MBPs come sooner, just started a new job and they are wanting to order me a new MacBook, asked them to wait until late Sep to see if I can get that new model. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later!
My guess is that Apple releases the iPhones (4 devices) and the Applewatch in September. In October they will release the Macbook Pros (2 devices) and iPads (Mini + Regular) plus the Applepencil. Airpods are coming via Press release.
So they got 5 devices to cover in September and 4,5 in October. I am just looking forward to the iPad Mini 6 and I hope it is being annouced as early as possible but I somehow don‘t expect it before October.
I agree with Macrumors that iPhone and Macs are definitley not being released at the same time because both are highly anticipated but I don‘t see the Mini being annouced via pressrelease only. This is the biggest upgrade in 10 years so this will be part of an event for sure. Aside from that they have a new Mini Applepencil to cover which fits perfectly aswell.

I think you are mostly correct. I don‘t believe either that they will announce 7-8 products on one event and then only 2 on the other one. As my post stated above I believe iPhones and the Applewatch being released in September which we already saw in the past. And for the October event it would fit perfectly to announce the highly anticipated Macbooks and then both iPads with one being the biggest redesign in 10 years what will bring some attention from the Macbooks to the Mini and vica versa.
I’m just getting the 13 PM this year. I have the 12 PM but only got that because it was a freebie from work.
Will get the MacBook Pro early next year used once the hype has died down. Too expensive new, can get a much better price 6 months after release.

My guess on the events this fall:
September: iPhone 13 and Apple Watch 7
October: iPad air 4, iPad mini 6, new Apple TV
November: MacBook Pro 14" and 16", M1X Mac mini, preview of iMac Pro 30".

The Air 5 isn‘t expected before 2022 so a „surprise“ release this fall is very unlikely. There rather is coming the updated regular iPad (9th gen). Plus I think there only will be 2 events because 3 aren‘t needed.
Indeed. I was a bit of an Atari 800 fan, though, also because you could connect it to a color TV or monitor as with the Apple II (this came shortly after the TRS-80, which we lovingly dubbed as the "TRash-80" with its measly 4K of RAM). I had this sort of rivalry going between another friend of mine who owned an Apple II+ at the time. The first PC I ever laid my hands on, though, was a Commodore PET. Being able to program in BASIC and save your programs to cassette was just so captivating. "Hunt The Wumpus" was the biggest hit back then for us.
Ah, how times have changed.
Can I get the matching phone with that?
...And let's be honest, that 5 days Watch is at *best* 2 days of Watch recording cycling adventures with strava running. I can rinse my Watch battery in less than a good day's bike ride, and that's with its cellular data turned off, connected to my phone. Trying to log more than a couple of hours workout on cellular somewhere in the countryside with not very good signal is a joke.
