Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman said that Apple is planning to hold multiple events this fall. Together, these events will include the launch of a new iPhone, Apple Watch, new AirPods, upgraded iPad mini and redesigned MacBook Pro. Gurman said in his latest weekly Power On newsletter that, like last year, Apple will hold multiple events this fall, the first one may be the iPhone 13-related conference in September.
Last year, due to the global health crisis and production restrictions, the iPhone 12 lineup was not announced until October. The September 2020 conference did not focus on the new iPhone but showed the new Apple Watch, iPad and online service businesses. According to multiple reports, this year, Apple is expected to resume the tradition of announcing its flagship annual iPhone update in September.
In today’s communication, Gurman reiterated his report earlier last week that his expectations for the iPhone 13 include camera updates focused on the Pro model, more advanced displays, and smaller bangs. In addition to the new iPhone, as previously reported, Gurman said that Apple can be expected to launch a third-generation AirPods with an updated design, an updated iPad mini with a larger display, thinner bezels and improved performance, as well as Apple Watch Series 7 with flatter and improved display and performance.
As for the highly anticipated MacBook Pro with a mini LED display, updated design and M1X Apple Silicon chip, Gurman said they will be available after the second anniversary of the 16-inch MacBook Pro currently provided by Intel. The last update of the 16-inch MacBook Pro was in November 2019.
The first fall event in September may include the new iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods, while the new iPad and possible updates of some of the company’s services may remain in the second event, and the last event of the season will focus on Apple Silicon On Mac.
