iPhone 14
The focus of the upcoming Apple event is expected to be its smartphone lineup, led by the iPhone 14. This year’s announcement is anticipated to feature four models: the iPhone 14, a larger-screen variant, and the flagship iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.
The base model, the iPhone 14, is described as having a 6.1-inch display with the familiar notch design. Leaks suggest the primary internal change compared to the previous generation is a RAM upgrade from 4 GB to 6 GB. The device is rumored to be powered by an enhanced Apple A15 Bionic chip, continuing the performance trajectory established by last year’s flagship models.
Apple is expected to reserve the most notable features for the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. The Pro models reportedly retain the same overall specifications, with a 6.1-inch display for the first and a 6.7-inch display for the second. A 48‑megapixel main camera and 8K video recording are touted as new capabilities for the Pro line. A redesign to the notch, sometimes referred to online as a “pill” cutout, is also anticipated. In addition, the Pro models are expected to introduce the Apple A16 chipset and the Always-On Display feature.

Rumors indicate Apple will unveil up to three versions of its smartwatch lineup: the Apple Watch 8, the Apple Watch SE, and a new Apple Watch Pro.
The Apple Watch 8 is expected to carry forward the current styling and offer a 41‑mm or 45‑mm display. It is speculated to add body temperature sensing and other health-tracking enhancements aligned with the latest wearable devices in the market.
The second-generation Apple Watch SE is anticipated in 40‑ and 44‑mm sizes, introducing an optical heart-rate sensor and an electrocardiogram sensor. The SE line is also expected to gain improved Always-On Display functionality and overall performance improvements.
A new model, the Apple Watch Pro, is said to feature a larger 50‑mm display and a rugged titanium case, enhanced for demanding use. It is expected to include temperature sensing, a heart monitor, and a SpO2 sensor, matching the needs of athletes and adventurers.
AirPods Pro
According to multiple leaks, Apple is set to refresh its AirPods Pro line after several years of anticipation.
The updated earbuds are expected to support Bluetooth 5.2 and the Apple Lossless Audio Codec to improve both sound quality and wireless reliability. The design is said to stay familiar, while the charging case could gain a small feature, such as a built‑in speaker to help locate the case if misplaced. A USB Type-C port is also anticipated, replacing the traditional Lightning connector.
iPad10
Rumors point to a redesign for the base 10th-generation iPad, which may borrow the look of the more premium iPad Air. A side-mounted Touch ID sensor on the power button could lead to a near bezel‑less display, and USB Type-C is expected to replace Lightning for this model.
Leakers also suggest Apple will equip flagship iPads with the M2 processor, potentially introducing wireless charging and a larger display on future Pro models, possibly reaching 14 or 15 inches. Still, skepticism remains about a September release, given delays surrounding iPadOS 16. Market timing could shift to October as Apple aligns the hardware with the software release schedule.

Speculation surrounds Apple’s plan to migrate even the Mac mini to the latest M2 family. Some insiders expect a refreshed design alongside the new processor, though details remain scarce.
Analyst views on a September Mac mini release vary, with Ming-Chi Kuo suggesting the odds are modest. In parallel, Apple has previously introduced the Mac Pro as a high‑end workstation and reportedly prepared future M2 Extreme variants for the lineup. The current Mac Studio, built around the M1 Max/Ultra, remains a benchmark for performance. With the Mac Pro expected to evolve, discussions continue about timing and configuration, including potential high‑end options in 2023 and beyond.
Today’s lineup includes the 24‑inch iMac powered by the M1. Rumors hint at a larger, more powerful 27-inch iMac Pro built around M2 family chips, though confirmation is pending. Overall, expectations center on a broader transition to the newer silicon across Apple’s desktop ecosystem.
Despite widespread chatter, the exact release timelines remain uncertain as Apple calibrates hardware innovations with software readiness and market demand.
TV set-top box and speaker
September is expected to bring a refreshed Apple TV 4K at a lower price point, though detailed specifications remain scarce. Some analysts believe Apple may choose to limit mentioning the device during the keynote, releasing information closer to launch on its website instead.
Meanwhile, chatter about a refreshed HomePod continues. The next iteration is rumored to include a screen for managing media and smart‑home controls. With iPadOS 16 reshaping HomeKit integration, questions persist about how a new HomePod would fit into the evolving ecosystem. Some observers think Apple could delay public discussion of the speaker until after the event, prioritizing highlights from the iPhone lineup.
Mixed Reality Headset
Although there is no official confirmation, conversations around Apple’s augmented reality and virtual reality headset persist in online discourse. The latest leaks hint at a limited early production run for developers, followed by wider availability roughly a year later.
One scenario places the headset’s unveiling at the September event, while others suggest a June appearance at the WWDC conference could be more likely. As with many Apple projects, timelines hinge on software readiness and developer support, making the path to consumer availability gradually clearer over time.
