Samsung's Unpacked event is behind u.s., which ways attending is turning to the only-announced Apple Outcome on Sept. xiv. And though the invitation from Apple is suitably vague, we've got a pretty good idea of what could be coming soon from Cupertino.

Co-ordinate to i Mark Gurman'south Ability-On newsletter for Bloomberg from a few weeks back, Apple tree's upcoming fall event will feature five devices, a merits which matches previous rumors and leaks we've seen about the company'south production plans.

"Apple Inc. is in full preparation manner for another jam-packed holiday season of device launches," Gurman writes — and given his generally adept record around Apple tree leaks, we have no reason to think he'due south not right on this.

We don't know if the Sept. 14 upshot will be a massive product rollout or just the start of many fall releases from Apple. Terminal year, Apple hosted a trio of events for the Apple Watch and new MacBooks equally well as the iPhone 12. Either way, the Apple fall release schedule looks like being a busy one.

Below, we've included a rundown of all the products we can expect to encounter, besides as their potential features, co-ordinate to Gurman's latest claims and the other rumors we've heard.

Apple iPhone 13

The main focus of Apple's Sept. 14 effect should be the rumored iPhone 13. And as you lot'd expect, According to Gurman, the iPhone 13 lineup will see slightly fewer dramatic changes than last year'due south iPhone 12 launch, with Apple reportedly focusing on "upgrading camera features and faster speed, while retaining last year'southward blueprint."

As has been widely reported, Apple tree is likely to stick with the same four models introduced with the iPhone 12. The big deviation looks like it's going to exist a smaller notch on the front brandish, something we've heard a lot near before.

As for the focus on cameras, Gurman says we're likely going to see "a new video version of Portrait manner dubbed Cinematic Video," improved video recording capabilities in ProRes for the Pro models, plus a new AI-powered filter that could use various styles/lenses to your photos.

Upward until at present, rumors have pointed to the iPhone 13 Pro models getting the more pregnant changes — namely ProMotion technology that allows for a much faster 120Hz refresh rate to be featured on the Pro models. And speaking of screens, Gurman likewise mentions something Android phones have offered for a while — an always-on brandish — as an iPhone 13 possibility.

And it will be the iPhone 13, Gurman says, and non the iPhone 12s. In the past, iPhone upgrades that retain the same design as their predecessors have gotten the "S" label, though Apple is plain pushing frontwards to a new number this fourth dimension around.

Apple tree Watch Series 7

Apple's autumn event is also expected to see the arrival of the Apple tree Watch Serial 7, likely at the same time as the iPhone thirteen. Gurman expects "a bit of a redesign" to Apple tree's smartwatch, with flatter displays as per previous renders nosotros've seen. He besides tips the Scout 7 to come up with upgraded screen technology and a faster processor.

The other new feature Gurman teases is called "Fourth dimension to Run," which would be a variation on Apple's existing "Fourth dimension to Walk" feature for Apple tree Fitness Plus subscribers. According to Gurman, we could also see a meditation version of the "Fourth dimension to Walk" mode, too.

Elsewhere, we've also heard suggestions that the Watch 7 will come with a blood-glucose monitoring characteristic, although new rumors claim that characteristic won't testify up this fourth dimension around. Instead, it may take another twelvemonth for some of Apple'due south wellness ambitions to announced in the Apple tree Watch;

Apple MacBook Pro 2021

Rumors near new MacBook Pro 2021 models accept been swirling for months, but every bit Gurman and others accept previously reported, at that place's reason to think they've been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the global scrap shortage.

Even so, Gurman believes that the two new models — a MacBook Pro xiv-inch 2021 and MacBook Pro sixteen-inch 2021 — "should still get on sale by the time the current MacBook Pro [sixteen-inch model] hits its ii-yr anniversary" in November. That means the laptops could be unveiled during the same fall event as the iPhone 13 and Apple Watch, although it's also possible Apple could hold a divide consequence for Macs, every bit it's washed in the past — most recently with last year'south MacBook Air M1 and MacBook Pro M1 launch.

Gurman didn't go into whatsoever detail around the new Macbooks' specs and features, notwithstanding we've previously seen reports that they could run into the return of the SD card reader, the HDMI port and the MagSafe charger — all final featured in the discontinued 2015 models. We've likewise expecting the laptops both to exist powered by a new M1X chipset, while other rumors take included suggestions that they'll have Mini-LED screens, equally seen on the iPad Pro 2021 (12.9-inch).

Apple tree AirPods 3

Next upwards on Gurman's list was the AirPods 3, which is rumored to be the new version of Apple's entry-level AirPods.

Apple's latest entry-level wireless earbuds, the AirPods 2, was announced in 2019, but admittedly, wasn't as big of an overhaul, leading to many users opting for the Pro version instead. Simply if Gurman and others are correct, the AirPods line could be set for its biggest upgrade since its launch in 2016.

According to Gurman the AirPods 3's pattern will be close to that of the AirPods Pro, mimicking features like the in-ear shape and much shorter stems, merely at a cheaper price point. That mirrors previous rumors we've heard near both the design and the pricing.

We'd imagine new AirPods would debut alongside the iPhone 13, and so we're counting on this to happen sooner rather than subsequently.

Apple iPad mini 6 & iPad (9th gen)

Again, the iPad mini 6 has long been rumored and again, its arrival is long overdue.

Gurman described the upcoming iPad mini update as the "biggest upgrade always," reportedly considering of far thinner borders and a complete redesign compared to the electric current model. We've previously seen reports that the iPad mini six could go a mini-LED display and resemble the design of the Pro models.

What intrigued us more is that Gurman also expects "a faster ninth-generation iPad coming for students," simply he didn't provide any additional details.
