The annual iPhone special event date has been announced by Apple. The celebrations get underway on September 12 this year, and the iPhone 15 is predicted to steal the show. View the complete list of announcements, including new hardware and software, that we anticipate seeing at the Apple event below.
Apple iPhone Launch Event Details
The Apple event for this year will start at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET on September 12. The event’s invitation from Apple teases the phrase “Wonderlust,” and some have assumed the blue and gray color scheme may be a clue at the iPhone 15’s color options.
Once more, the “Wonderlust” event is a hybrid affair. This indicates that it will have the pre-recorded keynote that most of us view at home. However, media personnel will view from the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park and then have hands-on experience with the iPhone 15 and other new products.
You can access the TV app on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, as well as Apple’s official YouTube channel, if you’re watching from home.
iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to be unveiled this year at Apple’s September event. The following is a list of the features and modifications that have been speculated for the base iPhone 15 models:
- The Dynamic Island, which debuted on the iPhone 14 Pro last year, will now be available on the iPhone 15’s non-Pro models.
- For charging and data transfer, the iPhone 15 will sport a USB-C port in place of the Lightning port.
- According to rumors, the iPhone 15 will ship with a braided USB-C cable that matches its hue. Additionally, compared to the present 1-meter Lightning cord included in the iPhone package, that wire might be 1.5 meters long.
- By switching from the A15 Bionic chip to the A16 Bionic chip, efficiency and performance are improved.
- Black, green, blue, yellow, and pink are the colors of the iPhone 15.
- Support for the new Qi2 wireless charging specification, which enables 15W wireless charging on a wider range of accessories.
As you may find, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus won’t differ significantly from the iPhone 14 models. The Dynamic Island feature and the move to USB-C are the two largest changes.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will most likely start at the same $799 and $899 costs as its predecessors. Pre-orders for the iPhone 15 are expected to open on September 15 after a September 12 announcement, and the first shipments will probably reach customers on September 22.
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
With design revisions, noticeably improved performance, and camera improvements, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are anticipated to receive their fair share of significant modifications this year. Here is a summary:
- The bezels surrounding the display will be substantially thinner on the iPhone 15 Pro series. The bezel on the iPhone 14 Pro is 2.17mm thick, however, it will supposedly be 1.5mm on the iPhone 15 Pro.
- The iPhone 15 Pro models will transition to USB-C for charging and data transfer, just like the iPhone 15. However, compared to the iPhone 14 Pro’s 27W charging speed, the iPhone 15 Pro may provide quicker charging speeds of up to 35W. The iPhone 15 Pro might also be able to transfer data at up to 40 Gbps using Thunderbolt.
- Support for the new Qi2 wireless charging specification, which enables 15W wireless charging on a wider range of accessories.
- The iPhone 15 Pro’s titanium chassis will take the place of the present stainless steel edges. In addition to being lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro, the gadgets will also have a matte, rather than a glossy, appearance.
- A new A17 Bionic chip that uses a 3nm fabrication technique and is anticipated to bring significant performance and efficiency benefits. This will be the company’s first 3nm chip ever.
- A new programmable Action button, similar to what was first introduced on the Apple Watch Ultra last year, will apparently take the place of the mute switch. Users of the iPhone 15 Pro will be able to designate this Action button to a variety of jobs.
- An improved camera system with periscope lens technology will be included in the iPhone 15 Pro Max (but not the iPhone 15 Pro). With its innovative periscope lens, you can get an optical zoom that is up to 5x or 6x. The optical zoom on the iPhone 14 Pro Max is now capped at 3x.
- Space black, silver, blue, and gray are the hues of the iPhone 15 Pro.
However, there will apparently be a price for these new capabilities. Both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are anticipated to cost more than the models they replace. The iPhone 15 Pro could start at $1,099 (an increase of $100), and the iPhone 15 Pro Max could start at $1,299 (an increase of $200), according to at least one expert.
A recent analyst report said that the iPhone 15 Pro Max could see shipping delays of two to three weeks due to supply concerns affecting the new camera technology. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are anticipated to go up for pre-order on September 15th.

Apple Watch Ultra 2
Although there aren’t many details available, the Apple Watch Ultra is also anticipated to receive an update this year. The upcoming Apple Watch Ultra 2 is expected to have an enhanced S9 processor with better performance and battery life.
According to Bloomberg, Apple tried out a black titanium hue for the Apple Watch Ultra last year but decided against it. Bloomberg predicted that the second-generation Apple Watch Ultra would come back in the black titanium hue, a prediction that leaker ShrimpApplePro has also made. They said on Twitter, “I can confirm this year we will have the black titanium this year along with the current standard titanium.”
Apple Watch Series 9
Apple reportedly intends to release a new Apple Watch Series 9 upgrade in conjunction to the new iPhone 15 hardware. However, the upcoming Apple Watch Series 9 is anticipated to be an incremental update with few significant improvements.
The only rumored update for the upcoming Apple Watch is an upgraded processor. According to rumors, the Apple Watch Series 9 will be equipped with the new S9 chipset, which delivers improved performance and battery life. Since the Apple Watch Series 6, this will be the first time that the performance of the device has changed.
The S8 processor, which powers the Apple Watch Series 8, is comparable to the S7 chip used in the Apple Watch Series 7, which was comparable to the S6 chip used in the Apple Watch Series 6.
One leaker claims that the Apple Watch Series 9 will also come in a new pink hue. Along with midnight, starlight, silver, and (PRODUCT)RED, this new hue would coexist. According to reports, Apple also intends to introduce a new band style with woven fabric components and a magnetic buckle.
All we know about the Apple Watch Series 9 is that. The dramatic “Apple Watch X” overhaul, though, that Apple is purportedly working on might be released as early as next year. According to reports, the Apple Watch X represents the “biggest redesign of the Watch ever.”
AirPods Pro with USB-C
Apple is expected to announce a new model of AirPods Pro with a USB-C charging case during its September presentation, after the iPhone 15’s transition to USB-C. The only modification to the new AirPods Pro is anticipated to be the switch from Lightning to USB-C. Apple will probably also sell a standalone model of the AirPods Pro charging case with USB-C, saving existing users from having to purchase a brand-new set of headphones.
It’s possible that Apple is working on USB-C versions of some of its other accessories, including the MagSafe Battery Pack, the MagSafe Duo, and its other Mac peripherals. Whether those announcements will be made at the September event is up in the air.
