Apple California Streaming Event Announced
Apple is expected to unveil a number of new products at the event, including the iPhone 13 series, Apple Watch Series 7, and possibly a new MagSafe charger. Although none of the above products have been officially announced by Apple, previous rumors suggest that they will be unveiled at the company's September 14 event.
Apple is rumored to be releasing four models of its next-generation iPhones, starting with the iPhone 13 series. The iPhone 12 series will have a similar lineup to the previous iPhone 12 series. According to previous rumors, the higher-end iPhone 13 Pro models will have 120Hz displays and smaller notches.
Apple is also expected to add a slew of new features to its next-generation iPhone models. To begin with, the iPhone 13 series is expected to feature larger batteries than the iPhone 12 models, as well as 25W fast charging. The company is expected to introduce a new portrait video mode as well as a new ProRes video recording format. The iPhone 13 series could be more expensive than its predecessors due to the ongoing chip shortage and rising production costs.
Due to production issues, the new Apple Watch Series 7 models are expected to be available in limited quantities at first. The problems stem from the device's new flat-edge design and larger dial sizes of 41mm and 45mm. The Apple Watch 7 is also expected to include a body temperature sensor as well as Ultra-Wideband (UWB) support.
Aside from the two products mentioned above, Apple recently added a new MagSafe charger to the FCC database. According to reports, during the event, the company may also release a new model of the MagSafe charger with stronger magnets and improved charging efficiency.
