Apple event: what to expect on September 7th, from iPhone 14 to Apple Watch Series 8

As the saying goes, only three things are certain in life: death, taxes, and Apple's September event. Once again, the company is (probably) announcing a slew of new products next month, with the date officially set for 7 September. And if the onslaught of rumors is anything to buy, there could be plenty to look forward to during Apple's 'Far Out' event.

From the iPhone 14 to the Apple Watch Series 8, there are a few products that feel like shoo-ins this year. But the iPad and AirPods lineups could also be getting some love, and there may even be a surprise or two in store.

This is the obvious one. Apple has released a new iPhone every September (except for 2020, when the pandemic pushed things back a month), and we're not expecting things to be any different in 2022. And just like every year, the rumor mill has been working overtime to churn out countless rumors about Apple's next smartphone.
From the removal of the notch to the addition of an always-on display, it sounds like we're in for some exciting upgrades – for the Pro model, that is. Rumour has it Apple is planning to differentiate the standard and high-end iPhone more than normal this year – with the basic iPhone 14 not even set to receive a chip upgrade. And if you're a fan of small phones, you might want to hang on to that iPhone 13 mini – persistent leaks all point to Apple doing away with the iPhone mini this year, replacing it instead with a larger, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max'.
