Excitement is mounting as California-based Apple has officially announced a special event scheduled for September 9. The tech giant is expected to unveil new iPhones and Apple Watches, but there are also rumors swirling about other anticipated products that might make an appearance next month, according to a report by 9To5Mac.
One of the most talked-about developments is the introduction of new M4 Macs. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently revealed that Apple is expediting the development of its first Macs equipped with the M4 chip, first seen in the latest iPad Pro. The upcoming lineup is expected to include refreshed versions of the MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac, all powered by the M4 chip.
Rumors suggest that while the MacBook Pro and iMac may retain their current designs, the Mac mini is set for a makeover. Speculations hint at a more compact design resembling an Apple TV for the new M4 Mac mini. However, eager fans may have to wait a bit longer, as Apple typically schedules a separate Mac-focused event in October.
Apple is also reportedly working on the third generation of its high-end wireless earbuds, the AirPods Pro. This new model is expected to bring a fresh design and upgraded chips, possibly introducing health-oriented features like a hearing test tool. However, the AirPods Pro 3 are not anticipated to debut until next year.
Additionally, Apple is expected to unveil two new versions of AirPods 4, which will replace the current AirPods 2 and AirPods 3. These updated AirPods are likely to be announced alongside the new iPhones in September.
Changes may also be on the horizon for Apple’s HomePod lineup. Leaked parts of a new HomePod suggest a model similar to the HomePod 2 but with an LCD touchscreen on top. Furthermore, Apple is rumored to be exploring a more advanced device with an 8-inch display running tvOS. However, it is unlikely that these new HomePod models will be revealed in September.
Another exciting possibility is the introduction of a more affordable version of Apple Vision Pro, catering to a broader audience. This budget-friendly model may not be available until the end of 2025 at the earliest. The September event might focus on the Vision Pro’s availability in more countries.
Speculations also point to a new iPad mini on the horizon, with reports of dwindling stock of the iPad mini 6 sparking rumors of an upcoming release. While Apple has previously launched new iPads alongside iPhones in September, sometimes they wait until October for such announcements. Therefore, the chances of seeing an iPad mini 7 next month are about 50/50.
