As per usual, there will be four models, consisting of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The iPhone 16 will have a screen that is similar to the iPhone 15’s for non-Pro versions, measuring 6.1 or 6.7 inches in the Plus version.

Other changes may include an upgrade of more sensors to 48MP or the expansion of Tetraprism lenses from the iPhone 15 Pro Max to all Pro models. There could be even more changes to the outside of the device, such as the expansion of Action button across all models and the long-rumored capture button. The iPad may get its usual update at the same time as the iPhone. It was last updated in 2022. This means it is due for an update. The iPad has been the subject of few rumors, but it’s likely to receive a processor upgrade to the A-series. The tenth generation iPadSince the sixth generation iPad mini was released in September 2021 it could be enough time for the compact model get a similar specification bump. Expect nothing from the iPad Air or iPad Pro lines, as they were updated earlier in 2024. Mac mini Apple updated the Mac Mini in January 2023. An update to the M4 is likely this fall. Rumors have also suggested that an update will be coming for the model soon. The M4 Mac mini is rumored to have a new form factor that has been long-awaited. This will make the Mac desktop even smaller and more compact. It may also be a visual departure from the current aluminum puck design. It is likely that the M4 Mac Mini will be joined by a M4 Pro Edition. It should look similar to the M4 version but have a faster chip. iMac In November 2023 the 24-inch iMac received its last update, bringing it up to M3. It is believed that, despite the relatively short gap between updates, it will not miss the M4 update. Apple’s 24-inch iMac and M3However the desktop Mac might not only be available in one size.

Apple Watch Series 10 According to many rumors, Apple Watch Series 10 may be renamed Series X and undergo a series of major updates that are fitting for a milestone. A rendering of what the Apple Watch Series 10 might look like. This includes making the Apple Watch smaller and thinner than ever before. The display could be even bigger than the Apple Watch Ultra at 50.8mm. These changes may not be very useful to users of older models. Rumors have circulated that the connectors used to attach bands to the Apple Watch could change in the next version. This would make older bands obsolete. Apple has announced a number upcoming changes to AirPods and AirPods Max. It would be logical that new models might make an appearance at the September event. AirPods 4 in the charging caseA pair of AirPods could be included in the charging case. AirPods 4 may expand the range by offering two variants. One would be a cheaper model with an updated design, and USB-C connector for the case. The second model could be a midrange offering with Find My and active noise cancellation built into the case. AirPods Max were released in December 2020 and have not been updated since. Price drops and rumors have led to the belief that an update is imminent. AirPods MaxA pair of AirPods maxSo far, rumors suggest that there will be a move to USB-C, to match other Apple hardware. There may also be a switch to H2 chip. This could lead to better noise cancellation as well as improved battery life. What is unlikely to appear at the event? Some products will not be updated, simply because they were recently updated. The iPad Pro models, for example, were updated to M4 in 2024 along with new models of iPad Air. There has been too little time in between updates for this to happen. In other cases, the delay is due to rumors or analyst forecasts that say changes will be further in the future. MacBook Air, for example, is expected to receive another update in spring 2025. While the Mac Studio and Mac Pro are in the right timeframe for an upgrade, it is expected that they will wait until 2025. Some estimates expect a late 2025 release. AirPods Pro were last updated in September of 2022, with improvements to ANC (Automatic Noise Cancellation) and Transparency due to the use of H2. It was later updated to include a USB charging case instead. Rumors suggest that a third generation release could occur in 2025 and not 2024.
