Apple is hosting a launch event at its headquarters in Cupertino, California on September 7. The company is expected to announce new iPhone models, as it has done every September since 2012.
Apple has been using pre-recorded videos for its launch events since early 2020 thanks in part to Covid restrictions, and this will be the first iPhone launch with an in-person component since 2019. Apple is streaming the launch event online at its website and YouTube in addition to inviting media to its campus.
Apple's hype-filled fall launches are a landmark event for Apple. They usually attract millions of concurrent viewers on YouTube. They grab worldwide attention and set the stage for a holiday marketing blitz in the last three months of the year, when Apple sales are at their highest.
This year's event has the tagline "far away", which could refer to features such as night sky photography,
Last year, Apple launched new iPhones and Apple Watches at a September event, then followed it up with an October launch featuring iPads and Macs.
Here's what Apple is likely to launch next Wednesday, based on reports.
iPhone 14: Four new models

Apple is expected to release four new iPhone models. If Apple's current naming convention holds up, they'll be called the iPhone 14.
This year, Apple will likely drop the "mini" model with a 4,7-inch screen, according to reports. Instead, Apple could offer two phone sizes, one with a 6,1-inch screen and the other with a 6,7-inch screen, each coming in a standard model and a "Pro" model. more expensive.
The Pro models should get more upgrades, according to reports from Bloomberg News, TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and other Apple analysts and watchers.
Since 2017, iPhones have included a space at the top of the phone screen with space for Apple's FaceID system, which includes multiple sensors and a camera. Pro models could ditch Apple's "notch" where it houses the FaceID camera for a slimmer, more streamlined "pill" or "cutout" approach with a smaller space that must remain empty, leaving room for a even bigger
The Pro models are also expected to receive upgraded A116 processors and cameras. The camera bump should expand.
Apple could release an always-on screen display to show notifications, as some Android phones have been doing for years. iPhone beta software released over the summer suggested that Apple may be considering a similar feature due to new weather and battery life widgets.
One of the biggest questions is how Apple will price its iPhones in a time of global inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty in some regions. Other consumer electronics, such as Sony's Playstation 5, have seen their prices drop.
Apple's cheapest iPhone 13 model is the $13 iPhone 699 Mini, which is expected to be discontinued. That would make Apple's main device, which is currently the iPhone 13, the cheapest new model at $829, if its price doesn't change. Some analysts also expect Apple to increase the price of its Pro models.
Apple typically lowers the price of older models when it releases new ones, providing an option for more price-sensitive consumers.
Apple Watch

Apple is expected to introduce the eighth major new version of its Watch next week. Last year, the Apple Watch Series 7 got a slightly larger screen, but the redesign didn't significantly change the look of the device, which has remained virtually the same since 2014.
Also expect more evolution this year. Apple is considering a body temperature sensor in new devices, according to the Wall Street Journal, which could help with fertility and sleep tracking. Other sleep tracking features could include the ability to detect advanced sleep patterns or apnea.
But Apple Watch Series 8's biggest announcement might be a new "Pro" model with a bigger screen and a more durable finish. Apple has already released Apple Watches with expensive case materials such as gold, ceramic and titanium, and the new "Pro" model described by Bloomberg and Kuo could be one of the first high-end Apple Watches to benefit from additional features compared to its cheaper one. brothers and sisters.
Also likely: a new, updated version of the Apple Watch SE, its $329 entry-level watch model.

How to Edit an iMessage in iOS 16
Todd Haselton | CNBC
iPhone owners who don't plan to buy new hardware this fall will still receive an annual iPhone software update, iOS 16, which was announced in June and tested over the summer. .
The software has several new features that users will notice immediately. Banner's biggest feature is the ability to customize the iPhone lock screen with widgets that can display weather forecasts, calendar appointments, and other information at a glance. Users can also change the lock screen clock font for the first time.
iOS 16 also lets you cancel or edit iMessage text messages, as long as you catch up with them within minutes of sending.
iOS 16 will also introduce short term loans from Apple called Apple Pay Later. The feature will allow users to buy things online with Apple Pay but pay for the item in four installments without paying interest.
A cool feature of iOS 16 is that if a user has both an iPhone and a Mac laptop or desktop computer, they can use the iPhone as a very high definition webcam.
After the event: iPads, Macs
Invitation to Apple's September event.

Apple is unlikely to release any new iPads next week as their software isn't ready yet. Earlier this month, Apple told TechCrunch that iPadOS, the iPad software, will ship after iOS this fall, suggesting a staggered release.
Apple's statement was terse and the company doesn't like to talk about unannounced products. But in general, it likes to release new hardware with new software, so the statement clearly suggested that the new iPads would arrive at a later launch date than the iPhones.
iPadOS and iOS are very similar, but this year iPadOS is getting a feature called Stage Manager that could allow users to multitask more efficiently – but was also rejected by early testers. Improved iPads could include more powerful processors that approximate laptop processors, smoother displays, and better integration with accessories.
Apple also uncharacteristically teased a new "Mac Pro" in the spring. The Mac Pro is currently a $5 power tower using an Intel processor.
Apple wants to switch its entire Mac line from Intel to its own M-series processors, but an expensive niche product doesn't fit as well with Apple's consumer iPhones and Apple Watches. Instead, new Macs could be announced at a separate event later this year, as happened last year.
