Apple is almost certain to uncover theiPhone 15range at its Wonderlust event on September 12 , but we ’re hope there are some surprises in store for the big keynote .
Over the years , the ship’s company has often gone beyond the expect melody - up of iPhone and Apple Watch launches to deliver unexpected tech intersection . There was a sentence when the surprise “ one more thing ” announcement came to be ask from the company during these launch result . And thus end being a surprise .
However , some of the biggest products in the ship’s company ’s renowned history arrived in this manner . We still call back Steve Jobs pull the iPod nano out of the little jeans air hole .
The first public FaceTime call between Steve Jobs and Jony I ve was a nerveless minute , as was the MacBook Air come out of the manilla envelope back in 2008 , and the Apple Watch launch in 2014 . More recently , Apple announced the electrical switch to M - Series processors and the Vision Pro headset in this signature fashion .
We ’re hoping for a similar surprise this year … .
Apple HomePad smart display
Apple refreshed the full - sized HomePod speaker a year ago , and the HomePod mini is still go great guns despite being almost three years previous . Rumours persistApple could set up a voguish speaker with an desegregate display , like to the Echo Show and Google Nest Hub . We ’d love to see this iPad and HomePod team up for a countertop machine with capital sound , access to Siri and a version of tvOS on a voguish display .
iPhone, iPad or MacBook Fold
File this one under ‘ maybe , but not yet ’ but we ’d love to see Apple eventually enter the folding kingdom and give Io users a chance to have the benefit of a flexible presentation .
Recent report suggest Apple might have larger ambitions than an iPhone Fold and the company’sfirst ever folding could be a MacBook / iPad hybrid .
AirPods Max 2
Apple ’s AirPods Max headphones make it in recent 2020 , which come too shortly for the company ’s pushing into Apple Music Lossless audio the next year . They are both incompatible with full lossless music both with pumped-up and wireless connections , at least without a proper DAC .
It ’s a shame because sonically , the earphones are among our favourites and the product has the excellent Spatial Audio tech and the signature tune unseamed connection with Apple devices .
consider there ’s hearsay of an rise to USB - 100 in the works , across the entire AirPods line , could Apple storm us with atrue second generation rendering of its over - ear headphones ?
Dynamic Island comes into its own
As our editor program Max Parkerpointed out in an judgment bit today , Apple has yet to provide an essential manipulation slip for the Dynamic Island feature , which replaced the notch on the iPhone 14 Pro models and is rumor to be present in all iPhone 15 manikin .
“ If the iPhone 15 does indeed inherit the Dynamic Island then Apple needs to try and sell the cause for its existence better , ” he write . “ Whether that ’s by bringing developers up on stage to show how it can be employ or by finding interesting ways of building it into aboriginal apps , it needs to feel more inbuilt to the phone . ”
Max reckons the Dynamic Island could be a stopgap for an iPhone with no notch at all . Now that would be the ultimate surprisal !
