The company sent out invitations last week and posted an announcement on its events page promising a Sept. 15 live stream at ane p.m. EDT/x a.m. PDT. The event is being billed as "Fourth dimension Flies," which would seem to betoken to the Apple Picket being the focus. Bloomberg has besides reported that the Sept. fifteen is all virtually the Apple Scout half-dozen and a new iPad Air model.

If you don't want to miss a moment of Apple tree'southward big moment, here'southward how yous can live stream the Apple Event. Nosotros've also got a closer look at all the fall products Apple is working on that might exist role of its autumn product launches.

How to alive stream the Apple Effect

The Time Flies consequence gets underway at 1 p.one thousand. EDT/ten a.one thousand. PDT today (Sept. fifteen). In that location's no way to attend in person — like Apple tree's Worldwide Programmer Conference keynote in June, this is a pre-taped presentation that the company is live streaming.

You lot'll exist able to spotter from the Apple Events website through a web browser. Anyone with an Apple TV tin also sentry on the big screen via the Apple tree Events app. Y'all can too watch the Apple Outcome via YouTube, where Apple already has a placeholder.

So at present that you know how to sentinel the Sept. 15 Apple result, here's what you lot're likely to see.

Apple tree Picket Series six

The Apple tree Watch Series 6 is expected to replace the Apple Watch Series 5 and introduce a host of new capabilities including blood oxygen (or SpO2) monitoring. We already know that Apple Watch sleep tracking is happening, too, every bit it's a centerpiece of the watchOS 7 update.

Those new features, particularly sleep tracking, will crave a performance boost, and Apple could address that with improved battery life. That could either exist handled with a more power efficient chip or the use of a more efficient Micro LED display on the Apple Watch half-dozen.

In addition to the Apple Picket 6, Apple will apparently release a lower-cost version, reportedly called the Apple tree Lookout man SE. Expect this smartwatch to describe on features from the Apple Lookout man 4 and v, as Apple looks to stave off competition from other clothing makers who produce less expensive devices. This likely ways the terminate of the Apple tree Scout 3 in Apple's lineup.

We could see the final release of watchOS vii following upward this summer's beta testing for the new smartwatch software. If Apple tree follow its past pattern, it would release the OS a few days before the new watches ship.

New iPad Air four

Apple tree already released a new iPad Pro earlier this year, which leaves other parts of its tablet lineup seeking attention. A likely candidate for an update is the iPad Air, with at least one rumor monger challenge the iPad Air 4 could debut this fall.

Several features that Apple introduced with the iPad Pro could notice their way into this new iPad, such as USB-C connectivity, Magic Keyboard support and a newer A12Z Bionic processor. The new iPad Air could as well wait a lot similar the iPad Pro, too. (And at to the lowest degree 1 report suggests a potentially higher price for the new tablet.)

A terminal-minute Apple Event leak from Evan Blass says the new iPad Air will feature Apple tree's newest A14 flake, which we expected to debut on the iPhone12. We don't put a lot of weight behind this rumor, but information technology's possible.

As with watchOS, in that location'due south a new version of iPadOS in the works. Information technology'due south possible Apple could announce a launch engagement for iPadOS fourteen timed with the release of any new iPads. Of class, since iPadOS is so closely intertwined with iOS 14, Apple's phone software could be set up to launch, too — unless that release is timed for whenever the iPhone 12 appears.

Apple Silicon MacBook

At WWDC, Apple unveiled plans to brand its own laptop chips. The beginning Apple tree Silicon MacBooks are expected to get in this year, A rumor earlier this week claimed that a fourteen-inch MacBook Pro with an Apple-congenital processor would debut at the Sept. 15 event, simply the merits seems dubious. Before rumors had pointed to a lower-price laptop like the MacBook existence the showtime Apple tree Silicon release.

A more probable scenario is that Apple holds a carve up production event that includes any Apple Silicon announcements. In its preview of tomorrow'due south Time Flies event, Bloomberg says that the commencement Apple Silicon-based Macs are expected "past November."

Given the success of its AirPods wireless earbuds, Apple could be looking to branch out into headphones too. The AirPods Studio headphones are rumored to be in the works, and these over-the-ear headphones are probable to feature agile racket counterfoil along with a Transparency feature to let in exterior noises when you need to hear the globe effectually y'all.

AirTags have been rumored for more than a year at present. These are device trackers that volition help you lot find things like keys and other valuable objects that take a trend to go missing. AirTags are expected to work with the U1 Ultra Wideband sensor plant in recent iPhones. (Basically, the iPhone eleven and later, including — we would presume — the new iPhone 12 models.)

The Bloomberg report claiming the Sept. 15 event will focus primarily on the Apple Watch likewise says that a smaller version of the HomePod speaker will debut in that location. Apple is as well rumored to exist working on a revived version of the AirPower wireless charging mat information technology scrapped more than than a year agone.

It'south not but hardware that Apple's working on. Over the summer, word leaked out that Apple was planning to launch an Apple tree 1 bundle that would bring together its news, music, streaming TV and gaming services into one single subscription. Code hinting at the Apple I package was recently spotted in the Apple Music app for Android, suggesting a launch is imminent; that launch was supposed to happen with the iPhone 12, though.

What about the iPhone 12?

Then when is the iPhone's time to shine? The new iPhones aren't expected to ship until October, so it'south expected a launch event would happen closer to that date. Still, a JP Morgan report raises the possibility of the iPhone 12 making a surprise advent at the Apple Lookout man consequence.

If the iPhone 12 doesn't announced on Sept. 15, it certainly won't be because there's not a lot to say about them. Apple is reportedly planning four models that introduce meaning changes to its phone lineup.

The four models include a vi.1-inch iPhone 12 Max along with a smaller 5.4-inch iPhone 12 as the two affordable options in Apple's lineup. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are expected to debut every bit well, with larger screens than their iPhone 11 Pro counterparts.

All four iPhone 12 models should feature 5G connectivity, making these the first Apple phones capable of delivering the faster wireless speeds. 5G phones have notwithstanding to really take off, but it'southward thought that once the iPhone adds back up for the new networking standard, it will become more widely adopted.

Besides the differing screen sizes, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max could both feature OLED panels. Previously, Apple has used an LCD screen in the iPhone 11 model that those phones are expected to replace.

Even more noun changes are planned for the iPhone 12 Pro models. Apple is widely expected to add together a LiDAR sensor to the triple camera array on the back of the new phones, which will help back up augmented reality apps. At that place's also a rumor that the screens on the Pro models could support a faster refresh charge per unit, though not everyone agrees that this feature is likely.

What'due south as well up in the air is just when we'll see the new iPhones. Apple will probable ship the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max in Oct. It'southward possible the iPhone 12 Pro models could ship later, equally Apple uses a staggered launch to deal with production deals caused by the COVID-xix outbreak.

More Apple events to come?

If the rumors are truthful, and the iPhone 12 doesn't join the Apple tree Watch half dozen and iPad Air 4 at today's Time Flies event, it's all but certain Apple will be doing this all again in a few weeks. Nosotros'd wait at least one additional Apple event, either in late September or early Oct, to bear witness off the new iPhones.

Apple Silicon-based Macs could also debut at that fourth dimension (over again, if they're not featured in the Sept. 15 effect). Or Apple could actually make full up our fall calendar with yet another result specifically devoted to its MacBook plans.

Whatever happens, expect to hear a lot coming out of Cupertino over the grade of the adjacent month or so.
