In the run-up to the event, we're continuing to hear more tidbits about what to expect for the major new hardware, as well as some other smaller announcements Apple may have in store, so read on for all the details!

Apple Announces 'Wonderlust' Event Expected to Feature iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9 and More

It's official! Apple this week announced that it will be a holding an event on Tuesday, September 12 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Apple has invited some reporters and creators to attend the event at Steve Jobs Theater, while a live stream will be available on Apple's website, YouTube, and through the Apple Events app on the Apple TV.

At the event, Apple is widely expected to announce the iPhone 15 series, the Apple Watch Series 9, a second-generation Apple Watch Ultra, and updated AirPods with a USB-C charging case. As always, there could be some other surprises in store as well.

Apple Event: New Products to Expect Beyond the iPhone 15

Apple's annual September event always involves new iPhone models, but several other products and accessories are expected to be announced at the event next month.

We've put together a list of everything to expect at Apple's event beyond the iPhone 15 series, including various new USB-C and Thunderbolt cables for the iPhone, new iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands, and more.

Apple Reportedly Plans to Unveil New AirPods With USB-C Charging Case at iPhone 15 Event

All four iPhone 15 models are widely expected to be equipped with a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port. Alongside this change, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman this week reported that Apple plans to announce updated AirPods with a USB-C charging case during its event on Tuesday, September 12.

It's unclear if Apple will announce any other changes for AirPods beyond the switch to USB-C.

iPhone 15 Rumors: New Colors, Production Issues Resolved, and More

Shortly after Apple announced its event, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared more predictions and manufacturing details for the iPhone 15 lineup.

Kuo corroborated previously rumored color options for the Pro models, including gray, silver/white, black, and blue. He also said the switch from a stainless steel frame to a titanium frame will result in the iPhone 15 Pro models weighing less than iPhone 14 Pro models.

6 New AirPods Pro Features Coming in iOS 17

Apple should release iOS 17 to the public in September. The software update includes at least six new features for the AirPods Pro, including Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and others.

iOS 17 is compatible with the iPhone XS and newer, and currently remains in beta testing for developers and public beta testers. Apple released the eighth beta of iOS 17 this week, with testing now nearing completion.

Redesigned Magic Keyboard Expected to Accompany New iPad Pro

Apple is rumored to be planning new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models with OLED displays and an M3 chip for release in the first half of 2024.

I’m trying to be less cynical, but “wonderlust” is the dumbest name for an event.

Likely no 15 mini. Well, my 13 mini is still doing great. Not expecting great improvements on the Apple Watch field - still not round, still a very short battery life. That's good news for Withings, I'll upgrade my stylish and round ScanWatch to the next iteration, the ScanWatch 2 in October. 30 days battery life and all the health sensors one can wish for. Those Airpods might be interesting though. Hopefully Apple will surprise us with "One More Thing"?

 

[3530025]

Excited to finally unify all of my devices with USB-C!

 

[Sevendaymelee]

In the next two weeks, I will have gotten my first Apple Watch, and my first new car, an EV. After years of stubbornly clinging to the old world, I'm ready to leap into the modern one, and Apple Watch is going to be a huge part of that (I'll be using it to operate my car). Pretty excited!

Every Apple Keynote is less and less and less and less and less and less excitement......

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Apple, Inc. To Announce All New "WonderBust® Pro" Alternative Reality Brassiere At "WonderLust" Event​

CUPERTINO, CA—Apple, Inc. announced Saturday that it plans to showcase an entirely new, category-defining, world-changing product at its September 12, 2023 event to be held at its headquarters in Cupertino, CA.

"Normally, we like to keep our product announcements as closely-held secrets so as not to disrupt the measurable levels of magic and amazement present," said Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, Inc. "But in this case, due to the importance of this product, we felt we had to make a one-time exception."

"The 'WonderBust® Pro' will bring exciting new alternative reality experiences to breasts the world over," said John Ternus, Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering. "Women, men, your dog, your cat... If it has breasts, those breasts can and will be augmented in exciting and magical alternative reality."

Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President of Software Engineering, stressed that the WonderBust® Pro ,"Should not be confused with regular breast containment, augmentation, or enhancing garments or procedures," adding, with a smile and gentle toss of his hair, "we think you're going to love your breasts when experienced through WonderBust® Pro."

Apple is also pleased to announce that the WonderBust® Pro will be available in dark-ish sort of space gray, a silver that is basically a light gray, and a color that's sort of a light-ish blue or maybe purple depending on how the light shines on it but otherwise will be mostly gray.

------

Apple, Inc. is maker of the popular iPhone® personal portable computing device used and beloved by over 2 billion people the world over. Apple, Inc. is also rumored to manufacture computers.

That’s because we spend too much time on McRumors.

Actually you're right, it's very accurate to say most people already know what to expect from Apple on the next iPhone from the press/rumor sites. There are only so many improvements before there isn't much to improve. Right now Apple is busy hyping all its services you can subscribe to generate more revenue.

That’s a typo, it was meant to say “wonderless”.

USB-C mandate is the second worst thing to come out of EU.

Similar on the watch, but I'll go for the Venu 3.

However, the iPhone Xr is gettting long in the tooth and will become the "But, HOW could you lose your phone?!" Backup Device.

You’re not alone but no worries, I got you! Here’s a sampling from a list of absolute banger event name suggestions I emailed to Tim:

• Techfap
• USB-C U in September
• Urgonnaluvit
• Sharepriceflation
• Phonemic Awareness

It’s hilarious how apple is treating the move to usb C as a feature. If it wasn’t for the EU, they never would have moved to this standard.

Doesn’t have to be. Apple could actually innovate and completely revamp iOS and give us a brand new OS (complete with pro software features to compete with android).

Apple's annual September event always involves new iPhone models

Well, Apple‘s September event doesn’t always involve new iPhones. The first time Apple announced an iPhone in a September event wasn‘t until iPhone 5. In 2020, the September event was about iPad Air and Apple Watch; the iPhone event was in October. Although in modern times it’s more likely than not that the September event will be for iPhone.

I think you mean the rumors are treating it as a feature because Apple has said anything about it.

We have literal Folding screen phones with front and rear facing screens.
And Apples like “ I guess we can give you USB-C “

Having been using iOS 17 for months now I can confirm that’s a hard no. lol
