New M4 Macs
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently reported that Apple has been ramping up development of the first Macs with the M4 chip, introduced earlier this year with the new iPad Pro. The company is expected to announce new versions of the MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac with the M4 chip.
Apple typically holds special events dedicated to the Mac in October, so it won’t come as a surprise if the company chooses to do the same this year.
AirPods Pro 3
For this year, Apple is expected to announce two new versions of AirPods 4 that will replace both AirPods 2 and AirPods 3. These new AirPods are likely to be announced alongside the new iPhones at Apple’s September event.
iPhone SE 4
Apple is planning a major update for the iPhone SE. The third and current generation, introduced in 2022, features the same design as the iPhone 8 with a Home button and a 4.7-inch LCD screen.
However, although Apple will talk about new iPhones next week, sources claim that the iPhone SE 4 is expected to be introduced in the first half of 2025.
New HomePods
However, there are no hints that Apple plans to introduce new HomePods in September.

What about a new iPad mini at Apple’s September event?
It seems that Apple Stores around the world are running out of iPad mini 6 stock, which could be an indication of a new iPad mini coming soon. While Apple has already announced new iPads at the same event as new iPhones in the past, the company also often waits until October to launch new iPads.
In other words, there’s a 50% chance that an iPad mini 7 will be announced next month.
What will Apple announce at its September event?
Essentially, the company will unveil four new iPhones: the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. One of the new features will be a physical button dedicated to cameras. The Pro models will receive larger screens. All iPhone 16 models will be powered by the A18 chip and will work with Apple Intelligence.
Apple is also expected to launch Apple Watch Series 10 with a refreshed design, as well as Apple Watch Ultra 3 with minor improvements. Again, new entry-level AirPods are also expected next month. Of course, there’s also the official release of iOS 18 to the public.
Apple’s iPhone 16 event will take place at 10 a.m. PT on Monday, September 9. You can follow all the news here on 9to5Mac.
