This September is business as usual for Apple, as the company is expected to make its annual new iPhone announcement [1] tomorrow, Sept. 9. However, current rumors suggest that not only will the new iPhone 6S be unveiled, but so will a number of other products such as new iPads and the long-awaited next generation of Apple TV. We've got a complete breakdown of everything you can hope to see come out of tomorrow's event.
- iPhone 6S and 6S Plus — The newest addition to the iPhone family isn't going to be a complete revamp of current iPhones, but it should arrive with a number of internal improvements [2] like a camera with 12 megapixels, force-touch technology, a longer battery life, and a model that comes in rose gold. And for those who were part of "Bendgate" last time, the iPhone 6S can reportedly [3] withstand more pressure. There are also rumors that an iPhone 6S Plus will be released [4] but with not too many specific details on what the key differences between the two phones could be.
- Apple TV — It's been a long time coming and finally, a new Apple TV should arrive on Wednesday. This version of Apple TV reportedly comes with an array of improvements, like operating at a much faster speed and a new remote [5] designed with motion sensitivity so you can play games. It will also include Siri and the App Store. Most notably, rumors suggest that it will contain Universal Search [6], a feature where you can search for any TV show or movie and see results from different apps. It should retail for $149.
- More iPads — The iPad Pro [7] is expected to be the next generation of iPads for Apple. It will reportedly have a 2732 x 2048 display and include a force-touch screen and a stylus. But if you're looking for just a simple upgrade, the iPad Mini 4 [8] might be what you want. It should be thinner with an 8-megapixel camera and include either an A8 or A9 chip for a faster processor that can support Split View.
- Release Dates — After debuting iOS 9, Watch OS2, and OS X El Capitan at WWDC in June, Apple will most likely either state the release dates for these upgrades or pull a surprise and make them available tomorrow. Each update is pretty exciting, especially Apple's latest operating system [9], iOS 9, which comes with a slew of new features like longer battery life, an improved Siri, a News app, and a Maps app that supports public transportation. As for Apple Watch users, the Watch OS 2 [10] might make the watch even more worth owning. New watch faces will be available, like a Time Travel feature to see your calendar over a length of time, and you can even use it as an alarm clock. OS X El Capitan [11] is just as exciting, with the cool new Split View feature, a better Spotlight, and several other upgrades to enhance your Mac experience.
Stay tuned tomorrow for the official information surrounding each of these products and softwares!
