What to expect from today's Apple iPhone 13 event

Apple’s annual iPhone launch event is happening on Tuesday, September 14th, 10:30 Pm IST. Just like last year, this year's  announcements will too be entirely digital, in the slick, eyes drooling, over-produced style that’s become Apple’s trademark during the pandemic.

It does seem like the Apple Watch and AirPods could get some serious attention, though, even if the iPhone 13 looks more or less the same.

iPhone 13 will come with a new A Bionic processor which is the fastest and years ahead of the android chipset industry.

AN IPHONE 13 WITH A FAMILIAR DESIGN AND MAYBE A NEW NIGHTTIME CAMERA TRICK

Rumors suggest that the iPhone 13 will look a lot like the iPhone 12 but with a possibly smaller notch and high refresh rate displays on all or most models. Both Bloomberg and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo seem to be in agreement that the new iPhone will receive iterative if helpful changes. It is also rumoured to be a change in camera alignment unlike last year's.

A FLAT-EDGED APPLE WATCH SERIES 7 WITH A BIGGER SCREEN AND THE SAME HEALTH FEATURES

While the iPhone 13 is staying the same but with upgraded new internals, it seems the new Apple Watch Series 7 might get a more evolved redesign. The rounded body Apple’s used since the introduction of its smartwatch is rumoured to be replaced with flatter displays and edges, according to Bloomberg. The change sounds similar to the shift Apple made from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 12.

Other rumours suggests to the improvements of the mainline Series 7 could include a faster processor and overall bigger watches at 41mm and 45mm (up from 40mm and 44mm), thanks to a combination of larger displays, smaller bezels, or both, Bloomberg reports. It’s not clear if that would impact the compatibility of the current Apple watch bands that Apple has sold over the years, but here’s hoping it doesn’t.

Those hardware changes will allow for new watchfaces, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

THIRD-GENERATION AIRPODS WITH SOME AIRPODS PRO-INSPIRED LOOKS

The entry-level third-generation AirPods are also rumoured to be in line for a makeover. Early in 2020 pointed to a design that takes cues from the AirPods Pro, minus the earbuds’ swappable rubber tips.

Other reports suggests that it can have shorter stems, rounded earpieces, and wireless charging case that might have a 20 percent larger battery, according to reports.

There might be a whole lot of further official announcement, and we will need to wait for Apple to confirm all the new projects at today's Apple event.
