Two nights ago I was at the mall shopping for back to work clothes and passed by an Apple Store. It seemed like a lot of people were buying new iPhones. Part of me wanted to come in and whisper to each of them, "Don't buy one just yet!"

But I did not do it. I kept walking and decided to write this instead.

It's a bad idea to spend money on a new iPhone or Apple Watch right now. Apple announced on Wednesday that it's holding a fall event on September 7 that's almost certainly for the iPhone 14. It could also announce new Apple Watches, though the company sometimes separates events. Bloomberg said the new iPhones could ship as early as September 16, just weeks away.

Of course, maybe you don't even care about getting the latest and greatest. You just want an iPhone. It's just. But there is still a reason to wait. Apple usually lowers the prices of its iPhones a year after introducing the new ones. So you also save money by waiting a few weeks.

Apple is planning four new iPhone 14 models this year, according to Bloomberg. You can apparently expect a regular version, a larger version of the regular model for the first time, and two higher-end Pro models with additional bells and whistles. This larger-screen regular iPhone 14 might appeal to people who want the biggest screen on an Apple phone but didn't want to shell out more than $1 for the iPhone Pro Max.

You might also want to consider it a long-term purchase. You use your phone every day. You probably use it for taking pictures, maybe playing games. So if you're hanging on to it for a few years, maybe you should buy the latest model when it comes out – and if you can't afford it right now, consider budgeting for it next year. It will receive software updates for years to come.

The same goes for the Apple Watch. Apple is expected to introduce a new mid-range Apple Watch SE model. This was last updated in 2020, so it should be a big budget model upgrade and will likely bring in some features that have been found in more expensive models over the past couple of years. Additionally, Bloomberg says Apple is planning a new high-end Apple Watch Pro that could be more rugged. So if that's okay with you, you might want to wait too.

The decision is yours. But it seems some people don't always know to expect new iPhones in September. At this point, I recommend you wait to see what your options are. It can't hurt!
