This year’s iPhone event will mark a full year since Apple announced its AirPower charging pad, which was shown to be able to wirelessly charge up to three devices at one time - perfect for keeping an iPhone, Apple Watch, and a pair of AirPods juiced up. The new Apple Watch will almost certainly come with watchOS 5 ( announced at WWDC earlier this year) which adds automatic workout detection, a walkie-talkie mode, and better notifications.

The Series 4 is also expected to offer an LTE model as well, similar to last year’s Series 3, although with a more subtle red ring on the digital crown to denote the cellular status. It might also feature an integrated EKG that would help establish the health of the wearer’s heart and identify cardiac issues early.Īpple is expected to be taking advantage of that larger display with new watchfaces, too, with the leaked image showing off more complications on the face than ever before. Leaked images of the Apple Watch Series 4 show that Apple will be offering a bigger display on the watch for a nearly edge-to-edge design, along with what appears to be a slimmer size than the previous versions (although it seems that legacy bands will still be compatible).
While the iPhone story this year seems to be a more iterative update, things are very different for the Apple Watch, which looks to be getting its first major redesign since the original model was released back in 2015. The 6.1-inch device - let’s call it the iPhone 9 for now, although what Apple actually decided to name it hasn’t leaked yet - would cut some of the X and XS phone’s more premium features like the OLED screen, stainless steel frame, and possibly even the 3D Touch system (introduced with much fanfare with the iPhone 6S, but since faded into obscurity).īut while Apple offering a cheaper iPhone X-style device is interesting, it would also mark the end of an era for the company’s phones, shifting away from the fingerprint-based Touch ID system for Face ID and bigger phones.

The last phone is more interesting - a cheaper, 6.1-inch LCD iPhone that would offer the bezel-less display and Face ID of the X and XS phones at a lower price point, replacing the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus as Apple’s new “entry” model. There is the chance that Apple will have some new, exclusive feature for the XS models, following the pattern of using -S devices to introduce new functionality like Touch ID, Siri, or 3D Touch. (A new gold color is expected to join the existing black and white options, though). Neither of the new XS phones is expected to break too much from the mold that Apple set with the iPhone X - they’ll both feature OLED displays, stainless steel frames, and the often copied Face ID notch, with most of the changes coming internally in the form of a new A12 processor and more RAM. Image: 9to5Macīut along with the XS, Apple is also expected to announce a larger, 6.5-inch version in the vein of its Plus models that offers a bigger screen and larger battery - although the bigger XS is reportedly called the iPhone XS Max, not the XS Plus. Apple is expected to announce three of them: first up is the iPhone XS, an updated version of last year’s iPhone X, with the same notched, bezel-less, 5.8-inch screen, but with improved internal specs - the same as Apple’s other -S class updates. Until then, though, here’s what to expect: New iPhonesĪs always, the headliner at this year’s event is going to be new iPhones.
