Apple’s iPhone 14 event will be Sept. 7. Here’s what to expect

Ready to upgrade your iPhone? Can you wait a couple more weeks? It would be a good idea for you, as Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 14 on Wednesday, Sept. 7, during an in-person event. This is the first in-person event for Apple since the pandemic forced companies to do only virtual events.  

The livestream will start at 10 am PT/1 pm ET and will surely be streamed across multiple platforms, including Apple.com.

Apple announced the event on Tuesday via invites to members of the press with the tagline of “Far out.” Your guess is as good as mine as to what it means, but Apple usually likes to have a little bit of fun with the tagline and provide an obscure hint about what to expect. 

Actually, the invite does look like the Apple logo is made out of stars and planets. Maybe an improved night shooting mode is coming to the iPhone 14 line? Or at the very least to iPhone 14 Pro models. Or could it be that there’s some sort of new zoom feature coming to the cameras? As I said, your guess is as good as mine. 

Four iPhone 14 models

Speaking of expectations, just what is Apple going to announce during the special event? A new iPhone, of course. There are rumored to be four different iPhone 14 models, with the mini iPhone model being replaced iPhone 14 Max with a 6.7-inch display. So, in total, the lineup should end up with an iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. 

Three Apple Watch models

Apple also has new Apple Watch models on tap. Three of them, to be exact. According to Bloomberg, a new Apple Watch 8 with a body temperature sensor and women’s health features, an updated Apple Watch SE, and an Apple Watch Pro (a new type of device for the company) are all expected to be announced during the event. 

AirPods Pro 2

Also rumored to be ready for an announcement is a new model of Apple’s AirPods Pro. There’s not a lot of concrete information about what’s new in what will effectively be the AirPods Pro 2, but I imagine a new design, better battery life, improved ANC, and sound quality are all included.
