The launch of Apple's fall products after officially entering September is closer than ever, as Apple is expected to reveal its iPhone 13 and Apple Watch Series 7 lineup, while there are also new releases for iPad and Mac, according to 9to5Mac.
And as the trend in Apple's recent virtual events over the past 18 months, the September event is expected to be a pre-recorded video with an impressive production value, featuring CEO Tim Cook and other executives.
Unlike last year, which saw the iPhone 12 release delayed in October and November, the iPhone 13 is believed to be on track to be announced and released in September.

Expectations indicate that the iPhone 13 will be similar in design to the iPhone 12, but to a smaller degree, and it is expected that the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will feature noticeable improvements in the camera, as well as “ProMotion” screens with support for a refresh rate of 120 Hz. .
Recently, Bloomberg Agency reported that the iPhone 13 will contain a new satellite communication technology, a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite technology to allow users to make calls and send messages in areas that do not have 4G and 5G coverage. According to the famous and trusted Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo.
The iPhone 13 is also said to feature a custom Qualcomm X60 core chip that supports satellite communications. It appears that other smartphone companies are currently waiting until 2022 to adopt the X65 baseband chip needed to implement satellite communications functions.
According to what Apple announced, about the specifications of the new phone, the weight will be 225 grams, the dimensions are 160.8 x 78.1 x 7.4 mm, and it comes in 5 colors: “black, white, gold, silver, blue”, and the materials for making the phone are glass, and a frame. Stainless steel, "Apple A14 Bionic" processor, 8 GB RAM, and 3 copies in terms of internal storage space, with a capacity of 128 / 256 / 512 GB.
Design and features of the new Apple Watch Series 7
The new Apple Watch Series 7 is expected to bring a large design to the wearable for the first time since 2018. Rumors suggest that this year's Apple Watch will feature a flat-edged design and will be available in new sizes 41mm and 45mm, up from 40mm. and 44mm, and is expected to be announced at Apple's event in September.
While health features are a major selling point for the Apple Watch, there are no major updates expected in this section this year. The company is said to be working on updates to existing features, including blood oxygen metering and arrhythmia notifications.
However, reports in late August have hit expectations, with both Nikkei and Bloomberg reporting that the Apple Watch Series 7 is facing production delays due to its new design.
This could mean that the Apple Watch Series 7 isn't announced in September after all, but the most likely outcome is that the device will be announced alongside the iPhone 13 but will be available later or in very limited versions initially.
iPad mini and iPad for beginners
While the iPad Pro was updated earlier this year with the M1 chip and other upgrades, Apple still has two more new iPads in the works for this year.
9to5Mac reports that Apple is preparing a new iPad mini powered by the same A15 processor as the iPhone 13, as well as a new entry-level iPad with an A13 chip inside. It is reported that the current entry-level 10.2-inch iPad is powered by the A12 Bionic chip.
Bloomberg previously reported that Apple is working on a new iPad mini later this year. The new iPad mini is expected to have slimmer bezels and no home button.
It is worth noting that the company last updated the iPad mini in 2019, introducing a faster A12 Bionic processor. And while expectations are that these new iPads will be announced sometime this fall, it's unclear whether the announcements will take place during the September event or perhaps during a second event sometime in October or November.
iOS 15 release expected in September.. new systems release dates
Finally, expectations are also that the company will announce the official release dates for its next round of software updates. While iOS 15, watchOS 8, tvOS 15, and macOS Monterey were revealed at WWDC, they're still only available in beta.
During the September event, we expect Apple to give another look at the new features coming in iOS 15 and watchOS 8 and announce official release dates. macOS Monterey likely won't come out until later this year, in October or November.
MacBook Pro release expected to be delayed to October or November
Sadly, if you've been waiting for the M1X-powered 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, you'll probably keep waiting. Currently, it may be released in October or November.
The new MacBook Pro is expected to feature small LED screens, and the return of MagSafe, HDMI and SD card connectivity options. Apple is also working on a high-end Mac mini that's powered by the same M1X chip.
Apple clearly has a lot in store for September after the lull of July and August. From new iPhones to iOS 15 and more.
