What to Expect at the September 14 Apple Event: iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, and More

It might happen, seems like the 13 could use whatever differentiation it can get. On the flip side, with the rumored concerns about production costs, that might get squeezed out.
We'll know for sure soon enough...
What do I expect? Unfortunately, more hype than substance.
I think this will be relatively low-key for Apple. There are so many issues surrounding chip and technology manufacturing since the pandemic, it has been causing all sorts of issues around the world.
I think they played their cards right on this one and it will probably be a blessing in disguise so they can spend even more time on next years event. I think expectations have become too much in terms of how consumers expect some radical changes each year. In the grand scheme of things 12 months is not that long.
As a certain individual once said (not a name to mention on MacRumors!):
"Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years."
I'll give you a clue, his surname rhymes with Bates!

Credit card is all warmed up and ready to go.....13Pro AW series 7
i hope that "bronze" render is wrong. the gold usually is. not that Apple get a gold that looks gold either... guess after blue and green they had fewer choices. so, at this stage, silver it might have to be... (looking at all the cases i've put on phones it makes no difference anyway LOL)
you guys think iPhone 12 mini apple leather case will fit the 13 mini case? I can't imagine them making it so the 2 cases don't fit so they can sell more
I'm ok with them going up 100 or so because of the chip shortage, but I am really curious about the new MacBooks. I am still on my mid-2012 and I am looking to get a new 13/14 incher this year. Is the current M1 worth it for mild editing of YouTube videos and digital art?
I'm in for a watch. Also, the faster we do this event the faster we can get to the really cool stuff, namely the new MacBook pro's next month or the month after.
I'll probably get a 13 Pro Max simply because I always want the best camera available - and the iPhone 6 I have for backup is just too old (won't run current OS) and the iPhone 7 has a broken screen and bad battery (and at this point it isn't worth getting the battery replaced).
I'll keep my 12 as a backup in case something goes wrong with the 13 and to fly my drone without annoying notifications.
But what I'm really waiting for is the 16" MacBook Pro which I've been dying to buy since WWDC - which is when I sold my 2019 in anticipation of replacing it (and now take rumors with a much larger dose of salt).
Of course I was being clever selling it before the M1x model tanked the value of the Intel MBP - but now I've been without a laptop for three months.
The 16" is rumored to have just about everything I want on a laptop (except for a few USB-A ports).

I am f—-ing burnt out from all of these events every year. And without Steve, Phil, Scott, Jony … 😴
I’m asking if you guys think they woll
I can’t see them not designing it to not fit 12 case
Small, incremental changes from a company that no longer cares about privacy. Meh.
I'll consider a new S7 watch over my S5, if it's thinner. This is the only Apple product that I care it gets thinner, cuz you know, I wear it.
If it's not thinner, then I think I'll pass, unless its got some killer features. The S6 was extremely underwhelming so I passed on that one.

We're expecting the same shiet as last year.
Meh. Nothing to see here let alone to justify a world wide announcement.
What’s compelling for you? I’ll be able to “power scroll” with promotion? Square edges on a watch instead of curved, but otherwise identical function?
I hate to be one of the ppl who always says that they won’t upgrade this year but I’m going to be that guy. Looking at the 13 Pro Max and owning the 12 Pro Max I can’t see the logic in shelling out another grand plus for it. When I bought my 12 Pro Max I had the 11 Pro Max and I felt like I should have saved money. I got my mom a 12 Pro Max as well because she was coming from an 11 so it was a huge upgrade for her. If the Apple Watch is redesigned I’ll grab one of those. But as always we shall see…
