The following Apple event, named "Wonderlust," will start at 10am PDT (10:30pm IST) on September 12. The debut date for the company's upcoming smartphone series, which is slated to include the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, was predicted by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman earlier this month. The 'Wonderlust' event should be streamed live on YouTube, Apple TV+, and the company's website, like with prior Apple events.

Thanks to the developer and public betas that have been distributed to consumers, we already know that Apple will upgrade its smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, Mac computers, and Apple TV devices with new operating system versions. A few days after the launch event, the company is anticipated to release iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, tvOS 17, and macOS Sonoma. 

iPhone 15 series

As the follow-ups to its iPhone 14 lineup, Apple is anticipated to release four new smartphones this year. However, the new models are expected to include significant hardware improvements. According to recent sources, every model is anticipated to have a USB Type-C port with the potential for Thunderbolt/USB 4 connectivity and faster charging at up to 35W. The Dynamic Island, which debuted with the Pro models of the previous year, is expected to be worn by all four models. According to reports, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will receive Apple upgrade to the A16 Bionic processor, while the Pro models may get a 3nm A17 Bionic chipset.

A new Action button is expected to replace the mute switch on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. According to a rumour, this button may be programmable and may let you to open programmes, carry out tasks, activate device and accessibility features, or even start shortcuts. The most expensive model is anticipated to have a periscope camera, which is believed to provide better optical zoom capability. Both versions are anticipated to ship with new colour options and a titanium chassis.

Apple Watch Ultra (2nd Gen) and Apple Watch Series 9

Contrary to the iPhone 15 series, information about Apple's plans to introduce new wearable devices is scarce. The second-generation Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch Series 9 may include the new S9 chip, which would be the first significant improvement to the watch's CPU since the Series 6 model, which was announced in 2020, in terms of performance and battery life. 

You might have to wait until Apple officially reveals these rumoured items at the forthcoming launch event if you're hoping for significant hardware enhancements. Even if these are merely incremental updates, Apple is apparently working on a significant Apple Watch X model for 2024 that might be released in time for the smartwatch's tenth anniversary the following year.

AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) refresh

The AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) were announced by Apple alongside the iPhone 14 collection of handsets, the Apple Watch Series 8, and the Apple Watch Ultra last year. The AirPods Pro model's longer battery life, enhanced active noise cancellation, and support for case tracking using an AirTag are all features of the second-generation model. Apple is rumoured to introduce the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) with a USB Type-C port at its next "Wonderlust" event.

This isn't the first time the business has updated an accessory; in fact, Apple just released an improved version of its AirPods Pro (1st Gen) device that includes a MagSafe-compatible charging case. The company's flagship truly wireless stereo (TWS) headphones are said to accommodate the new charging connector, although plans to update other recent models, such the AirPods (3rd Gen) and the AirPods Max, were not mentioned in the prior story.
