iPhone 14 at Apple’s September event
The iPhone 14 series will be the star of Apple’s September event. With four new models set to be unveiled, expect a lot of hype from a new iPhone 14 Plus/Max. While the regular models won’t have much to differ from the current generation iPhone 13, a larger model would be a nice addition. At Apple’s September event, expect big changes for the iPhone 14 Pro, as previously reported by 9to5Mac. With a new design, a better processor and huge improvements on the camera side, the iPhone 14 series will likely be one of Apple’s biggest releases in years.
Three new Apple Watches are coming
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple will introduce three new Apple Watch models in 2022, which he calls the most significant update to the watch in years. These watches could be unveiled at the Apple September Event. The Apple Watch Series 8 will at least get a new body temperature sensor and better battery life. The Apple Watch SE will likely see a second generation, while Apple is also preparing a rugged “Pro” version of the current watch with a different design and premium finish for extreme sports.
AirPods Pro 2 at Apple’s September event
In addition to the iPhone 14 series and the new Apple Watch models, Apple could present at the September event the new AirPods Pro 2. With a similar design to the current generation, 9to5Mac’s sources have confirmed that the next AirPods Pro model – codenamed B698 – will feature the next version of the H1 chip, Apple’s own audio processor. Additionally, reports of LC3 codec support in the AirPods Max beta firmware indicate that the AirPods Pro 2 could be the first to add Bluetooth 5.2 support. This codec will bring more stability and efficiency to wireless headphones. Not only that, but this new standard will help AirPods Pro 2 improve sound quality for voice calls and songs with higher bitrate support. Although Bluetooth Low Energy and the LC3 codec do not promise “lossless Bluetooth”, they will certainly improve the sound quality a lot.
Apple Mixed Reality Headset
Rumors about Apple’s Mixed Reality Headset have grown over the past year. During Apple’s event in September, the company could revive Steve Jobs’ “One More Thing” phrase to tease the company’s upcoming Mixed Reality headset. Rumors currently expect it to be unveiled at the end of this year and go on sale in 2023. Apple’s September event could be the perfect time for Apple to reveal to the public that it is entering a new market. For example, earlier this year, the company teased that it was working on a new Mac Pro without further details.
iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13 Ventura, watchOS 9 and tvOS 16 coming during Apple’s September event?
It depends. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iPadOS 16 has been delayed by at least a month, as Apple plans to release it in October – along with macOS 13 Ventura. During Apple’s September event, CEO Tim Cook will likely announce the release date for iOS 16, watchOS 9 and tvOS 16.

New Macs and iPads could come a little later
Apple is also expected to introduce several new Macs and at least two iPads in 2022. While the company unveiled a new MacBook Pro in October, Apple could be preparing another keynote a month later to bring in new Macs and iPads. In his newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said Apple has new Mac minis and advanced MacBook Pros for later this year. 9to5Mac’s sources have already confirmed that Apple is working on the base model of the tenth generation iPad and a new iPad Pro.
When will Apple hold its event in September?
Apple usually holds its events on Tuesdays. If the company follows last year’s trend, the keynote could be held on September 13, as it is the second Tuesday of the month. Although nothing has been confirmed – and there are no rumors about the possible date – it’s common sense that this could be the perfect time for the company to introduce the iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8 and more. Since WWDC 2022 had a hybrid experience, it looks like the company will bring the same experience to its September event, as a report says that Apple has already started recording the keynote.
