According to Bloomberg Mark Gurman, Apple plans to hold its first autumn press conference on Wednesday, September 7 (it is expected to be in the early morning of September 8th Beijing time). The event will focus on the release of the iPhone 14 series models and the Apple Watch Series 8.
standard version iPhone 14 models are expected to have little change, but the iPhone 14 Pro models will include updated camera technology, cancellation of the notch groove and replace it with "pill + single punch", A16 chip, etc.
Apple plans to release four iPhone 14 series models, including 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max. It is worth noting that since the sales of the iPhone 12 mini and 13 mini devices are not as expected, there will be no new 5.4-inch "iPhone 14 mini" released.
leaks show that Apple has three Apple Watch in development, including the new Apple Watch Series 8, the updated Apple Watch SE 2 and the new Apple Watch Pro version (it is expected to have a larger body, a newer design and a stronger special construction).
Apple also plans to launch a new entry-level iPad 10, an updated iPad Pro model, Mac Pro with Apple Silicon chip, and more, but these devices may be left for the second event in October.
IT Home learned that Apple usually sends official invitation letters about a week before the press conference, so this time it may release a preview at the end of August. According to reports, Apple is already preparing for a pre-recorded event, indicating that it will once again be broadcast virtually instead of offline live. Of course, Apple may also invite a small number of media members to participate in offline meetings.
Gurman said Apple has informed some Apple Store retail store employees to prepare for a new product launch on Friday, September 16, suggesting that new iPhone and Apple Watch models may be available on that date.
