New iPhone 15 Lineup With USB Type-C Port
At this event, Apple is expected to introduce at least four new iPhone models: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. There’s also speculation about an iPhone 15 Ultra, which may or may not be the Pro Max model.
The standout feature of the iPhone 15 is its adoption of USB-C, which comes as a result of EU regulations pushing for standardized ports across devices. Apple appears to be ahead of the 2024 deadline set by regulators, reflecting growing momentum for this shift in other regions as well.
New Updated Apple Watch Models
Apart from the iPhones, the event is likely to feature the unveiling of new Apple Watch models, including variants of the Apple Watch Series 9 and a mysterious Watch Ultra. The rumor mill has been relatively quiet regarding the Apple Watch Series 9, possibly indicating a less groundbreaking year for the wearable. Apple might be saving major innovations for the 10th anniversary next year.

AirPods
New AirPods are long overdue, and while a 2024 timeline for the H2 chip upgrade seems plausible, a standalone USB-C charging case could be in the works. An update to the AirPods Max and a new HomePod mini are possibilities.
iOS Software Updates For Compatible Apple Products
Apple is poised to announce significant software updates, including iOS 17, iPad 17, watchOS 10, and macOS Sonoma, which were initially launched for testing in June.
Other Expectations
The event may provide a closer look at the Vision Pro headset, with content details remaining uncertain. We might witness demos related to the “spatial computing” headset, as it nears its early 2024 release. Furthermore, more information on release dates for iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and watchOS updates is likely, while Mac updates may be deferred to 2024, possibly featuring the M3 chip.
