For the autumn Apple Occasion schedule, September is the principle month for exercise, because it has generally been when the occasion takes place, or the primary in a sequence of occasions.

There isn’t any assure that Apple’s September occasion would be the just one, because it does often broaden its product launches into October. Within the case of 2020, it held occasions in September, October, and November, prompted by varied points brought on by COVID.

The variety of occasions Apple will finally maintain will depend on many alternative issues, outdoors of a pandemic. This could embrace the meant launch schedules for its varied merchandise, in addition to any manufacturing points which will get in the way in which and intrude with prearranged plans.

The amount of merchandise also can lead to Apple splintering off a class or two right into a second occasion, if solely to stop the primary from being too cluttered for its personal good.

Late August rumors have claimed that Apple might be holding an October occasion, meant to point out off new Mac fashions.

Even with such rumors, there is not any assure of an October occasion in any respect.

Over the past ten years, Apple had October occasions in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021. October occasions did not occur in 2015, 2017, 2019, nor in 2022.

We do not really know if there might be an October occasion to comply with September, wanting analyzing what Apple leaves out from its first occasion. However there is a very sturdy likelihood there might be two given the power of the Apple product portfolio.

The usual iPhone mannequin for 2023, the iPhone 15 and its supersized counterpart, the iPhone 15 Plus, will type the non-Professional tier of the iPhone vary.

The rumors largely focus on smaller upgrades fairly than large shifts, reminiscent of gaining the A16 used within the iPhone 14 Professional lineup.

The cameras on the rear can also get a lift, within the type of a 48-megapixel wide-angle sensor and lens combo.

A low-key change would be the change from Lightning to USB-C for the bodily connector port, which rumors say has resulted in Apple requiring Made For iPhone certification for third-party equipment.

As for colours, rumors level to there being a pale inexperienced choice for this 12 months. On August 30, photographs of leaked coloration choices appear to point that the vary could also be pretty pale or mute in tone for 2023.

Persevering with Apple’s tendency to supply a quartet of iPhones, the iPhone 15 Professional is anticipated to be joined by the iPhone 15 Professional Max. Although there was hypothesis that the naming conference could also be modified.

On extra concrete adjustments, the design could possibly be made extra rounded on the edges, with a titanium physique as a substitute of metal to avoid wasting weight.

Just like the iPhone 15, the skinny bezel theories have prolonged to the Professional vary, although the show should still see one other change. There have been claims Apple will slip the proximity sensor into the Dynamic Island space, as a substitute of mounting it beneath the show.

Show applied sciences like ProMotion and All the time-On are anticipated to remain a Professional-tier profit.

Inside, the A17 is anticipated to supply appreciable pace enhancements to the vary, partly due to a call to undertake TSMC’s 3-nanometer manufacturing course of fairly than a 4-nanometer model.

For the cameras, the 48-megapixel sensor reappears in rumors, however with the Professional Max or Extremely having a extra pronounced digital camera bump. This may permit Apple to incorporate a periscope lens association, which might help enhance the optical zoom capabilities of the digital camera.

The mute change might not be included within the Professional fashions anymore, with quite a few rumors claiming {that a} new “Motion Button” might be used as a substitute. This multi-function button could possibly be utilized in many configurable methods, together with appearing like a conventional digital camera shutter button.

The change to USB-C, in addition to battery capability bumps, have additionally been rumored.

Present rumors have Apple providing three shades of grey and a darkish blue coloration, with the invitation alleged to be hiding the colours in plain sight.

Together with a brand new coloration, leaks point out Apple might be making adjustments to not less than one of many iPhone equipment. Pretend leather-based circumstances have been found on social media, supposedly produced from a number of supplies.

Whereas the iPhone 15 Professional line will launch on time, there was the menace that manufacturing issues might’ve brought on the discharge of the fashions to be delayed. Nevertheless, on August 30, a report reckoned that points with “stacked SCIS, panels, batteries,” and titanium frames had been principally resolved earlier than the crunch manufacturing interval.

With the introduction of watchOS 10, you’d anticipate that Apple can be eager to make adjustments to the Apple Watch Sequence 9 to mirror the milestone. Nevertheless, rumors have repeatedly indicated that the adjustments will not be that main for the wearable machine.

Certainly, the majority of {hardware} updates relate to the Apple Watch X as a substitute.

The Sequence 9 is anticipated to be supplied in 41mm and 45mm measurement choices.

Apple Watch Extremely

What’s anticipated to be a much bigger change is the efficiency of the S9 chip. After comparatively minimal chip enhancements in earlier fashions, the S9 is believed to supply much more efficiency by comparability.

An up to date Apple Watch Extremely can be considered on the Apple Watch roster, however there’s not a lot else to anticipate apart from the chip improve at this stage.

One late rumor claims that Apple is utilizing 3D printing for the chassis of a future Apple Watch, with testing carried out on a stainless-steel Apple Watch Sequence 9, although not essentially for manufacturing in the mean time.

Apple has launched new iPad fashions within the fall for the final couple of years, and the final set it did was the October launches of the gen-10 iPad and the up to date 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Professional.

It is completely believable that Apple might refresh the fashions within the fall, however precisely what Apple will introduce is a bit troublesome to find out because of the relative lack of rumors.

iPad mini

Thus far, rumors have supplied an up to date iPad mini 7 might land within the fall, although others say a 2024 launch is extra probably. A revamp with OLED and a brand new Magic Keyboard has additionally been claimed in late August for an early 2024 launch.

For the iPad Professional, an replace to M3 is not completely out of the bounds of believability, however since there are rumors of an OLED iPad Professional launch in 2024, Apple could wait till then.

If Apple does find yourself splitting the product pile into two occasions and provides an October occasion to the schedule, its Mac adjustments are normally those to be bumped over to it. Rumors have already put ahead this narrative, although it might not be an occasion and will find yourself being a press launch debut for the updates.

For fall 2023, that successfully means the shift over from the M2 technology to the beginning of the M3, and subsequently entry-level Mac choices. As traditional for Apple, the M3 Professional, M3 Max, and M3 Extremely launches might be additional down the street.

Apple tends to make the 13-inch MacBook Professional, the 13-inch MacBook Air, and the Mac mini the primary fashions to ship in a chip technology, and they’re nonetheless good candidates this time round. The 24-inch iMac can be awaiting an improve, lacking out on the M2 technology, although there’s much less of an opportunity of an M3 15-inch MacBook Air because the M2 hasn’t been round that lengthy.

Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional at WWDC 2023

The opposite massive title that might get bumped to a follow-up occasion is the Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional. Following the WWDC introduction and forward of an early 2024 launch, there is a good likelihood that some type of replace might be supplied by Apple.

The magnitude of the headset with none sellable items in time for the vacations means it could possibly be given loads of time to be talked about in an October occasion replace.

Whether or not it will get talked about in September or bumped to October is up for debate, however Apple will not be lacking a chance to speak about the way forward for its headset.
