(Image: Ian Zelbo) Even as the hours pass, the concept artists are still at it. Here’s Ian Zelbo’s (opens in a new tab) take on the Apple Watch Pro, which seems to be based on those CAD files we saw this week, along with that weird protrusion on the right (because “pro” means protrusion , correctly;) . 2022-09-07T05:57:10.557Z
A fan rendering of the rumored Apple Car (Image: Vanarama) One product we definitely don’t expect to see is the much-hyped Apple Car (which is already proving more popular than other brands – even though it doesn’t exist yet). Today’s event may be called “Far Out,” but we have a feeling this one is a little further out. 2022-09-07T05:53:43.942Z
(Image credit: Apple) Today is the day! In just a few hours we will know which rumors were true and which were far-fetched. Here’s a new one – some users think we might be getting an ‘Apple Watch for kids’ today, although a new version of the Apple Watch SE 2 seems rather more likely. 2022-09-06T16:13:12.791Z
A fan rendition of AirPods Pro 2 (Image: Konstantin Milenin) We’re also hoping to see a delayed update to the AirPods Pro tomorrow – and recent rumors suggest they’ll come with a new charging case that’ll be much easier to find, thanks to the new built-in speakers. Right now, users can play a sound from their individual AirPods – but anyone who’s ever lost their charging case will attest to the fact that it’s a whole different ball game. Details about the headphones themselves are more elusive, but we’ve heard rumors for a while that they could finally ditch the iconic stem. This would be a big step for AirPods – while the design was mercilessly mocked at launch in 2016, these days it’s ubiquitous on the streets. 2022-09-06T14:58:13.826Z
(Image credit: Apple/Future owner) As for the Apple Watch Series 8, it looks like it will let the Apple Watch Pro enjoy the limelight. With the design rumored to be identical to the Series 7, we could find a more gradual upgrade here – although new features are rumored to include blood sugar and temperature monitoring. 2022-09-06T14:36:11.022Z
(Image credit: @ld_vova) Of course, it’s not just the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro that we can expect to see tomorrow. Equally likely is the next iteration of the Apple Watch. But it’s not just the Series 8 that’s being heavily rumored – there’s also an all-new version said to be dropping as well. The ‘Apple Watch Pro’ is said to be a new ‘rugged’ model with extra features aimed more at extreme sports enthusiasts. And yesterday we may have been given our first look at the design, with flat edges and… a whole new button. For a company that prefers to remove things (home buttons, headphone jacks, chargers) it would certainly be interesting to see Apple launch a more complex version of one of its existing products. 2022-09-06T13:51:26.954Z
(Image credit: BasicAppleGuy on Twitter) Oh yes. It wouldn’t be an Apple Event without Apple Event Bingo cards making the rounds. Here’s one of our favorite examples, courtesy of BasicAppleGuy (opens in new tab) (who was behind these hilarious alternative Apple Watch workouts). 2022-09-06T13:39:56.085Z We’ve heard repeatedly that Apple could be planning a big U(SB) turn with the iPhone 14, finally offering USB-C (opens in new tab) to the masses. Allowing for faster charging than Lightning and much more flexibility with accessories, USB-C has been a mainstay on fan wish lists for a few years now. But since it’s rumored to launch the iPhone 13, 12, and 11, we’ll take it with a grain of salt. 2022-09-06T13:34:20.583Z
(Image credit: EverythingApplePro) So what features do we expect from the iPhone 14? One of the most persistent rumors we’ve heard is that the iPhone 14 series (or at least some of them) are in line for an always-on display. This could allow essential information such as the time, date and notifications to remain on the screen without having to press the power button. 2022-09-06T12:45:07.226Z What about the camera? Rumor has it that the iPhone 14 Pro will feature an impressive 48MP sensor capable of producing 8K video. If that’s the case, the rest of the best camera phone lineup had better start making room for the iPhone 14. And it looks like we could finally get a periscope lens, which could mean up to 50x zoom capabilities. That said, recent reports have also claimed that the periscope lens might not make it to the iPhone 15, so we could be waiting a bit longer on that front. 2022-09-06T12:45:04.490Z
The purple iPhone 12 (Image credit: Apple) Almost as exciting as the new features are the new colors – and each iPhone generation tends to include at least one exclusive hue. Rumor has it that this year we get the first purple iPhone since the 12 and 12 mini – but instead of the pleasant pastel shade we were given in 2020, this year’s purple could be a lot more, er, purple. 2022-09-06T12:01:48.324Z
(Image credit: Apple/Future owner) While we don’t expect to see an iPhone 14 mini this year, another new model could take its place. Apple is rumored to be big this year – literally. A larger 6.7-inch version of the standard iPhone 14 is said to be on the cards, meaning the entry-level device will be available in the same sizes as the ‘Pro’ model. The only question is what will it be called – iPhone 14 Max or iPhone 14 Pro? Knowing Apple and their confusing naming conventions, it probably won’t make much sense. 2022-09-06T11:44:07.214Z
You might want to stick with this iPhone 13 mini (Image credit: Apple/Future) Almost as interesting as what is shown during an Apple event is what is not shown. And if various rumors are to be believed, the latest is set to include the iPhone mini. Supposedly plagued by poor sales, Apple is said to be abandoning the iPhone mini after just two years – which is bad news for those (like me) who prefer small phones. 2022-09-06T11:34:56.920Z
(Image: Jon Prosser & Ian Zelbo) Perhaps the most persistent rumor of the year concerned the design of the iPhone 14 Pro. Specifically the notch – or lack thereof. The controversial design touch is said to be replaced by a floating ‘pill + hole’ design that will free up some more real screen status. It’s still not entirely clear how this will work in practice (will the pill and pinhole come together when the screen is in use?), but anything that frees up even a few precious pixels can only be good for creatives. 2022-09-06T11:06:30.193Z
(Image credit: Apple) It’s that time of year again! Welcome to Creative Bloq’s Apple Event blog, where we’ll be keeping you updated on all the company’s shenanigans in Cupertino over the next couple of days. Rumor after leak has been pouring in for the past few months, and we’ve got a pretty complete idea of what to expect tomorrow. Over the next few hours, we’ll share everything we can expect to see, from the iPhone 14 to the Apple Watch Pro.
