The next Apple event could be just around the corner. There hasn’t been any official word yet, but we speculate the iPhone 13, AirPods 3 and Apple Watch 7 could be on the way sometime this month for the company’s fall event. We could also see the iPad Mini 6 and a ninth-generation iPad later this year. It was previously thought that the event could be partially in-person, but Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that with Apple’s rumored decision to delay its return to in-person work, the next event will probably be completely virtual like last year’s. Apple has had two events in 2021 so far. The first event was in April, where we got a glimpse of new iPad upgrades, colorful iMacs, AirTags trackers, a purple iPhone 12 and more. ( Here’s everything Apple announced in the spring.) Then, two months later, it held the annual WWDC, developers event, where we saw a first look at iOS 15, MacOS Monterey (also known as MacOS 12), WatchOS 8 and iPadOS 15.

Although there hasn’t been any word, official or otherwise, on the exact date and time for Apple’s next event, we speculate that mid-September would be a safe bet. Apple typically hosts three to four events in a year with a spring event, a summer developer conference and one or two more events in the fall. The fall events are usually scheduled in September and October. The September event tends to feature new iPhone and Apple Watch upgrades, while the October event typically features Macs and iPads. Although Apple has announced its latest iPhone during a September event every year since the iPhone 5 in 2012, Apple saw a change in that pattern in 2020 due to production delays during the pandemic. Last year’s September Apple event unveiled the Apple Watch 6, Apple Watch SE and updated iPad models — but no new iPhone. The company later revealed the iPhone 12 in October. Last year’s fall Apple event was online-only due to the pandemic.
