With Tim Cook sharing that there’s no time for updates on stats, he jumped straight into the Apple Watch, where third-party watch faces were shown alongside new third-party apps like iTranslate and even GoPro. An assortment of new bands from Hermes and the Red Foundation will be available for the Apple Watch alongside two new Apple Watch colors, gold and rose gold, both available alongside the launch of Watch OS 2 on September 16.

iPad Pro & iPad Mini 4

At 12.9 inches across, Apple’s new iPad Pro is massive, sporting 5.6 million pixels. With a 10-hour battery life, four speakers, and measured at just 6.9 millimeters thin, this thing is a beast, boasting the all-new A9x processor with speeds comparable to desktops. Users can expect to take advantage of iOS 9’s new iPad features while also enjoying iPad Pro accessories like the Apple Pen and new Smart Keyboard. This brand-new behemoth of a tablet starting at $799 is expected to launch this November alongside an updated iPad Mini 4.

Apple TV

Taking things over to your living room, there’s the all-new Apple TV. It’s twice as tall as the old Apple TV, and features a fresh interface, but have you seen the new remote? It allows you to game on the new Apple TV with motion control, pull up shows with Siri, and swipe through the interface with a thumb-based touchpad. The new Apple TV  will be available late October.

iPhone 6S & 6S Plus

Last but not least, Apple had to close out the show with the iPhone 6S and 6S plus. With 3D touch, the pressure you put on the screen now changes the way iOS reacts, opening the door for new features. But what else is new about the 6S? Inside you’ll find a A9 processor with a 70 percent faster CPU, a sharper 12-megapixel iSight camera, and a new 5-megapixel front-facing FaceTime camera. Don’t forget about the upgraded Siri, 4K video, and Live Photos, which move when you click them. Pricing is unchanged for an Apple flagship, and it’s all available September 25.

Apple has announced an all-new iPad mini. This seventh-generation model, which has long been anticipated, features an A17 Pro chip designed to support Apple Intelligence. Visually, it looks just like the last iPad mini, but there are some key upgrades under the hood.

The A17 Pro chip, also found on the iPhone 15 Pro series, features a 6-core CPU that delivers 30% better performance than the previous model. Its 5-core GPU also offers improved graphics performance. In addition to an A17 Pro chip, the 2024 iPad mini features an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, a 12MP primary camera, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro.

Apple Intelligence is right around the corner, with a few absent perks
Apple Intelligence update on iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Back in September. Apple announced that its suite of next-gen AI features would make their way to supported hardware in October. Today, Bloomberg reports that rollout of those AI features – clubbed under the Apple Intelligence banner – will begin on October 28.

The AI toolkit will arrive with the iOS 18.1 update for the iPhone 15 Pro pair, the entire iPhone 16 series, and iPads with M1 (or newer) silicon in the series. Unfortunately, this is not the full Apple Intelligence package that the company announced a while ago.

2025 iPhones and iPads might have new Apple chips in them

For many years, Apple has been committed to replacing third-party parts in its products with those it manufactures itself. A notable instance is when Apple moved away from Intel-based processors for its Macs and replaced them with in-house Apple M series chips. It now appears that more Apple-made parts may be incorporated into some of its mobile products as soon as next year.

According to DigiTimes, Apple plans to use its own Wi-Fi chips in the 2025 iPads and the following year's iPhone 18 series. The upcoming iPhone SE 4 could also be the first iPhone equipped with an Apple-branded 5G chip, with the iPhone 17 series expected to follow suit later in the same year.
