Apple’s iPhone 14 event will reportedly take place in early September
Apple is aiming for its next product launch event on September 7, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The company usually hosts a big event in the first half of September, and now we have a very likely date to circle on the calendar. As with the other events that have taken place during the COVID-19 pandemic, this event is planned to be streamed online, Gurman reports.
Rumor has it that Apple will announce the iPhone 14 lineup at the show, which is expected to consist of: the base iPhone 14, a new large-screen iPhone 14, an iPhone 14 Pro, and an iPhone 14 Pro Max. . The Pro phones may be getting some of the flashier upgrades, as they’re rumored to lose the notch in favor of a pill-shaped punch cutout, get an always-on screen, and have the next-generation A-series processor. In recent years, the iPhones unveiled at the event went on sale shortly after — Gurman reports that store associates have been asked to prepare for some sort of September 16 launch — so if you’re looking for an upgrade, you may want to get your wallet ready.
At the event, Apple would also announce updates to the Apple Watch, including a new, more rugged model and a revised Apple Watch SE. The company is also reportedly working on the next generation of the AirPods Pro, which could come with lossless audio support, a new entry-level iPad that could ditch the headphone jack, and more, so there are a lot of potential products that Apple could may reveal at the upcoming event.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
