On September 7, Apple will hold its traditional event. While there are several products that the company could be preparing, two of them are expected the most: the iPhone 14 series and the Apple Watch Series 8. Here’s what Apple could announce at its September “Far Out” event.
iPhone 14 at the Apple September event
The iPhone 14 series will be the star of Apple’s “Far Out” September event. With four new models being introduced, expect a lot of hype from a new iPhone 14 Plus/Max. While the regular models won’t differ much from the current iPhone 13 generation, a larger model will be a nice addition.
Expect big changes for the iPhone 14 Pro at the Apple September event, as reported by 9to5Mac. With a new design, a better processor and massive improvements on the camera side, the iPhone 14 series will likely be one of the biggest Apple launches in years.
Latest iPhone 14 Model Rumors
In these past weeks, 9to5Mac has reported that while there will be no price increase for the regular iPhone 14 models, Apple will likely increase the prices of the iPhone 14 Pro by up to $100. In addition, a well-known iPhone case leaker shared identical silicone cases for the iPhone 14 line that Apple is likely to announce alongside the new phones at the September event, such as you can learn more about it here.
Another leaker shared the iPhone colors he expects Apple to introduce in a few weeks:
- iPhone 14: Green, purple, blue, black, white and red. According to his sources, pink has been replaced by purple;
- iPhone 14 Pro: Green, purple, silver, gold and graphite. He says purple takes the place of Sierra Blue.

Three new Apple Watches are coming
BloombergMark Gurman has reported that Apple will introduce three new Apple Watch models in 2022, which he calls the most significant update to the watch in years.
These watches could be unveiled at the Apple September Event. In any case, the Apple Watch Series 8 will get a new body temperature sensor and a longer battery life. The Apple Watch SE is likely to see a second generation, while Apple is also preparing a rugged “Pro” version of the current watch with a different design and premium finish for extreme sports.
Below, we’ve gathered everything we know about these upcoming Apple Watches that are likely to be unveiled at the Apple September event.
AirPods Pro 2 at the Apple September event
Apart from the iPhone 14 series and new Apple Watch models, Apple could introduce the new AirPods Pro 2 at the September event.
With a similar design to the current generation, 9to5Mac sources confirmed that the next AirPods Pro model – codenamed B698 – will feature the next version of the H1 chip, Apple’s proprietary audio processor. Additionally, references for LC3 codec support on the AirPods Max beta firmware tease that AirPods Pro 2 could be the first to add Bluetooth 5.2 support.
This codec brings more stability and efficiency to wireless earbuds. Not only that, but this new standard will help AirPods Pro 2 improve sound quality for voice calls and songs with higher bitrate support. While power-efficient Bluetooth and LC3 codec don’t promise “Lossless Bluetooth”, they will certainly improve sound quality significantly.
Apple Mixed Reality headset
Rumors about the Apple Mixed Reality Headset have increased over the past year. At the Apple event in September, the company could revive Steve Jobs’ “One More Thing” phrase to tease the company’s upcoming Mixed Reality headset.
Rumors currently point that it won’t be unveiled until the end of this year and will be sold in 2023. The Apple event in September could be the perfect timing for Apple to announce to the public that it is entering a new market.
For example, early this year, the company teased that it was working on a new Mac Pro without further details.
Will iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13 Ventura, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16 come during the Apple September Event?
It depends. According to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, iPadOS 16 has been delayed by at least a month as Apple aims for an October release – alongside macOS 13 Ventura. During the Apple September Event, CEO Tim Cook is likely to announce the release date for iOS 16, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16.
iOS 16 code refers to an Always-On Display on the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro. With a new lock screen, more Focus Filter features and messaging improvements, users will benefit a lot from this operating system.

New Macs and iPads may come a little later
Apple is also expected to introduce several new Macs and at least two iPads in 2022. While the company unveiled a new MacBook Pro in October, Apple could be preparing a new keynote a month later to release new Macs and iPads.
In his newsletter, BloombergMark Gurman said Apple will have new Mac minis and high-end MacBook Pros later this year. 9to5Mac sources have confirmed that Apple is working on the tenth-generation base model iPad and a new iPad Pro.
When will Apple hold its September event?
Apple is holding its iPhone 14 event on September 7, a Wednesday. The invite teases a personal event at the Steve Jobs Theater, although Bloomberg reported a few weeks ago that Apple was already recording its keynote.
With an earlier announcement, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple wants to report a stronger third quarter, in addition to avoiding supply restrictions, because you can learn more about it here.
The “Far Out” message could mean that the company is aiming for an astrophotography feature or even the long-awaited support for satellite communications. We’ll know in less than two weeks.
