Apple event recap — iPhone 13, Apple Watch 7, new iPad mini 6 and more
And then today'due south the big day. And the iPhone 13 is coming. Think yous'll upgrade? Well, hither'southward the one feature nosotros're hoping to see to brand Apple's new iPhones worth buying.
iOS 15 is besides coming this week and will go a recap at the Apple event. So here are eight of the new iOS 15 features you'll want to attempt out.
A concluding-minute case leak adds further acceptance to the leaks we've heard about the iPhone 13'due south blueprint. Information technology basically looks like an iPhone 12 but we look a smaller notch.
Interested in the new Apple tree Watch design? Then hither are the colors we are expecting to see from the Apple Spotter 7.
Another leak has the iPhone 13 tipped to get 1TB of storage space, which isn't a first for smartphones, but could exist pretty massive. It would be a boon for people who capture a lot of photos and videos.
New iPad mini 6 leak alarm! Or at least an alleged ane, claiming there'll be Apple Pencil 2 support, a USB-C port, Smart Connector, and a trio of colors. The jury'south withal out on whether it'll be revealed today.

It'southward looking similar the new iPhone could get a ProMotion display, and we have a good breakdown of why an iPhone 13 120Hz brandish is a large deal for users.
The AirPods 3 are expected to launch today but could be more than expensive than the AirPods ii. At least that's according to Apple oracle and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has the next-gen wireless earbuds tipped to be sold alongside the previous generation.
Well this won't come as a huge surprise to people who follow tech events, just Apple has its ain 'like' animation for Twitter for the Apple tree event, with a like flashing upward a luminescent Apple logo earlier tuning into a heart.
Given the whole "California streaming" tagline for the Apple event, we'd be somewhat curious as to whether there'll be any mention of Apple TV Plus. Nosotros've heard no leaks around it, but maybe Apple has managed to keep the lid on a few surprises.
If y'all're not convinced by the design of the iPhone 13, and then you might want to await for the iPhone 14. According to the early claimed leaks so far, it could finally drop the display notch and lose the camera bump. And Face ID could even be subconscious under the iPhone xiv's display. That would exist cool, only we'd exist curious to run into how Apple tree would pull that off.
More claimed iPhone 13 case renders have been posted by serial leaker Evan Blass on his evleaks Twitter account. They requite u.s. yet another await at how Apple could have shrunken downward the display notch, finally!

Uh-oh! The Apple Store appears to exist down. But that's really a proficient thing as it means Apple is likely refreshing its production lineup ahead of the Apple upshot, pregnant nosotros could see iPhone 13 pre-orders go live today.
The Apple Shop is downwards! The average Store downtime is about 3 hours and 29 minutes – https://t.co/hnhhIQ6KjHSeptember fourteen, 2021
And hither's our have on the iPhone xiii case leaks. It'south non going to revolutionize the iPhone's current design, just nosotros're absolutely prepare for a smaller notch.
Don't expect and so see the much-rumored MacBook Pro 2021 fourteen-inch or a refreshed sixteen-inch MacBook Pro today, equally they've been tipped for a separate Apple tree event, likely in October time. Simply Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has claimed the new M1X MacBook pros could make it in "the next several weeks" at a 2nd Apple event that may also feature iPads.
We've perused the rumor that the iPad mini 6 will be inspired by the iPad Air, and we reckon Apple could be onto a winner here. A sleeker blueprint with slimmer bezels and extra functionality could make for a rather impressive compact tablet.
Tom'southward Guide'southward editors are making their predictions for the Apple tree Event. Global editor in chief Marking Spoonauer thinks the camera upgrades will be the highlight of the iPhone 13.
"If the rumors are truthful, I call up people will be talking nigh the improved Night mode and portrait manner video. Right at present the iPhone 12 really struggles when shooting the moon or stars," Spoonauer says.
Meanwhile, information technology's all most the brandish upgrades for managing editor of news Roland Moore-Colyer: "I really promise to run across Apple adopt a 120Hz refresh rate across all iPhone thirteen models. But it looks like only the iPhone 13 Pro will get it.
"But having used the Oppo Notice X3 Pro for months at present, I'1000 utterly enamoured with high-refresh rate displays, so if the iPhone thirteen Pro gets 1, information technology'll be the Apple tree phone for me."
Senior staff writer Kate Kozuch would like to run into Apple adopt the much-rumored under-brandish Bear on ID. Sadly, it looks similar she'll accept to wait until the iPhone 14.
"The return of Bear upon ID would brand all my iPhone 13 dreams come truthful. Yes, information technology'south probably not happening, but under-screen Bear upon ID would make getting into my iPhone then much easier," said Kozuch.
More than of an Android user, editor in main Marc McLaren notwithstanding feels that camera improvements are again the big draw of Apple's adjacent-gen phone.
"The iPhone 13 Pro will supposedly be getting some big new camera skills such as autofocus on the broad-angle lens and a bigger sensor," he said. "If truthful, this could button the iPhone even further alee of the competition when it comes to photography. And let'south face information technology, that'southward a far bigger bargain for most people than whether it has a slightly smaller notch."
Finally. The iPhone 13 is tipped to ditch the measly 64GB storage pick and start with a base 128GB of storage. This would put Apple's new iPhone on par with the best Android phones.
If you haven't done so yet, update your iPhone to iOS fourteen.viii right now. Apple has issued an emergency update for iPhones and iPads in response to a serious spyware flaw.
The iPad 9 has merely been tipped to launch today alongside the iPhone 13. It's definitely not set in rock, but we could see a larger 10.5-inch display, faster A14 Bionic chip and more RAM inside Apple tree's near affordable tablet.
Feeling cornball as nosotros await for the iPhone 13 launch? @SuperSaf has a closer look at the original iPhone on video, and it looks positively tiny.
Happy #AppleEvent Day 😎To marking the occasion, I got hold of the Offset iPhone from @GridStudiocc 😍 This phone really changed the game! film.twitter.com/6JMxxfHvCPSeptember 14, 2021
If this Tim Melt tweet is to be believed, today'due south Apple Outcome is coming to you lot alive from the Joshua Tree National Park.
Practiced morn from somewhere a footling different this time. We're California streaming in three hours! Run across you soon. 👀 #AppleEvent pic.twitter.com/C5V5hiel8FSeptember 14, 2021
Nah, that'due south probably non true. But we'd guess this tweet sheds more light on the California Streaming theme of the upshot, with Apple probable featuring executives talking upwardly its products from the four corners of California instead of from around the Apple campus, as has been the instance in previous virtual events.
Glory cameos were a mainstay of Apple events back when these things were held in person. (Recall that time back in 2014 when U2 showed up to aid launch the iPhone vi, and suddenly there was a new U2 album on our phones? Good times...) Simply the pace of glory walk-ons has tapered off in the COVID-xix expanse, equally Apple tree has taken its events virtual.
That said, we'd wager at that place'south a non-zero hazard of a Ted Lasso cameo today, though perhaps a Schmigadoon-manner musical number is too much to promise for.
With the Apple Store downwardly — see our earlier alive web log update — information technology'south a pretty good better that there will be things to pre-order at the end of the day. If you're hoping one of those things is an iPhone, be sure to check out our iPhone 13 pre-order guide, which we plan to update with all the information from retailers and carriers just as soon as it comes in.
In the concurrently, you'll find links to the acme iPhone retailers and a guide on what to look in terms of ordering info and potential bargain.
Certain, you tin watch the Apple result live stream, or follow forth hither in the live blog or even watch the Tom'south Guide Twitter business relationship for updates. But y'all can TikTok your way through today'due south proceedings, besides, and Tom's Guide is here to helpl
Here's a TikTok of our own Kate Kozuch previewing today'southward large Apple tree reveal.
@tomsguide Will you lot watch today's #Apple result? #iphone13 will brand a big debut, but we could run across new #airpods, a new #ipad and the #applewatch7, too! 🍎 #tech

We're expecting Apple tree to reveal release dates for iOS xv, iPadOS 15 and watchOS 8 today. (We could also go the release engagement for macOS 12 Monterey, though if Apple is holding a dissever Mac event in a few weeks, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for Apple tree to release a macOS update then.) In fact, Apple could go so far as to curl out the new software updates today.
Just even if the latest software updates aren't available until side by side week, that raises the inevitable question — should y'all update right away or should you wait for an update or ii before taking the plunge?
It's never a bad idea to wait, as that gives Apple a chance to stamp out any lingering bugs. And you can also judge how smooth the upgrade process is past seeing how people react on social media. In terms of iOS 15, at to the lowest degree, I've been testing the beta since it came out in June — yous tin can read my iOS 15 beta hands-on to see what I think. And I've found it to exist pretty stable, with the most persistent bug existence that apps occasionally crash when I endeavour to launch them and I'll demand to launch them again — not exactly a showstopper of a issues.
So if y'all ordinarily keep with caution around software updates continue to practise and then. Otherwise, if you're feeling adventurous, these feel similar pretty solid updates.
Nosotros mentioned potential Apple Watch colors earlier, just what about the iPhone? Every bit you can imagine, iPhone color rumors are a big source of speculation leading up to any iPhone launch. After all, the colour of the phone is the first matter people encounter, and then clearly, everyone wants an iPhone that makes a good impression.
In the instance of the iPhone 13, think pinkish. Apple is going with that equally a color option for the iPhone xiii and iPhone 13 mini, according to rumors. Pinkish would supercede Green among the current color options, with white, black, purple, blue and Product [Red] all returning from the iPhone 12. Or so the rumor goes.
On the iPhone 13 Pro forepart, wait fewer color options, though ii of them are likely to exist new. Apple is reportedly adding matte blackness and bronze as options aslope silver and gold.
As always, it will be interesting to see which colors people embrace and which ones volition exist in ample supply.
Got plans for subsequently the Apple tree effect? Tom's Guide editorial director Mark Spoonauer will be appearing on the Hereafter Tech Bear witness with Laptop editor-in-chief Sherri Smith to talk about whatever Apple announces.
The show gets underway at 3 p.m. ET/noon PT, and you tin can watch along on YouTube or on the embedded stream below.
If you're looking for a last-minute prediction to wow friends and family with, information technology's not out of the question that Apple could talk about Apple Arcade today. Information technology would make particular sense if the iPhone 13 Pro models exercise get 120Hz displays, since immersive gaming would be one of the known benefits of having a fast-refreshing 120Hz brandish.
Apple could stoke enthusiasm for 120Hz displays by talking about games on Apple Arcade that have been optimized for the faster refresh rate — at least, that's one fashion to talk upwardly both the benefits of Apple's new phones plus its subscription services.
This isn't based on any rumor or inside knowledge — just some speculation on our office. Nosotros'll run into if it's correct in a little more an hour.
If this were an in-person product launch, about now, Apple would be opening the doors, and tech reporters would be tweeting out photos of the Steve Jobs Theater. In lieu of that, here's a photograph of my TV, opened to the TV app on Apple tree Telly, which will be live streaming the event.
The Steve Jobs Theater, this ain't.
If you lot like your iPhone thirteen predictions last minute, AppleInsider has posted a round-upwardly of what the analysts at TrendForce think about the upcoming phone announcements. What they're forecasting is consistent with the iPhone 13 rumors nosotros've been tracking.
The highlights:
- The iPhone 13 Pro will get ProMotion displays — that'southward the dynamically adjusting 120Hz refresh charge per unit — and a 1TB storage pick.
- As with the iPhone 12, all the iPhone 13 models will have AMOLED screens.
- Sensor shift stabilization, a feature on the iPhone 12 Pro Max's photographic camera, will exist available on all iv iPhone 13 models.
- LiDAR returns, though the story doesn't specify if that's merely returning to the Pro models or if the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are joining in on the fun. We've heard dueling predictions on that forepart.
Only another 50 minutes or and so, and we'll find out who's right.
Some terminal-infinitesimal reading, while we're waiting for Apple to flip the switch on today's presentation: The iPhone 12 was a large hit, helping Apple enjoy record sales throughout the past twelvemonth — even at times when iPhone sales tend to peter out. I of the big reasons was the addition of 5G.
So how does Apple tree follow that upwards? Truthful, not everyone upgraded to a 5G iPhone since the iPhone 12'southward release, and then there will still be some upgraders for that feature. Merely what else? Hither's how Apple could brand the case that the iPhone 13 is the device you lot need.
It has only now occurred to me that in that location could be a practiced reason for Tim Cook to be wandering around the desert, other than the fact that Joshua Tree is a lovely national park, and well worth a visit (though peradventure non in the summertime). The iPhone xiii is rumored to be getting some course of satellite communication — likely a way to send alerts via text when a cellular connectedness isn't available.
Having spent some fourth dimension in Joshua Tree National Park, I can tell you that information technology is too an platonic place to show what happens when you can't pick upwardly a cellular connection. And then chalk that up as another last-minute prediction.
If you're post-obit forth at dwelling house, Apple's alive stream is now live — if you define "live" as showing the Apple logo floating higher up a field of flowers while soothing music plays.
Strap yourself in, folks.
And nosotros're underway with a musical number — California Soul — with shots of music makers around the country of California. In addition to that desert Tim Melt tweeted from, nosotros've got coastal, woods and city scapes, so Apple tree is leaning into its home country hither.
Oh, Tim Cook is in a theater, non the desert. Well, that'south a disappointment.
We're starting with Apple Telly Plus, as Tim Cook recounts the critical and award acclaim Apple shows are getting (obligatory Ted Lasso mention). And we're going to get a preview of some of the shows coming to Apple TV this fall. That includes returning favorites — The Morning Testify — as well every bit new programs like Jon Stewart's upcoming show and programs with Tom Hanks and Paul Rudd.
We're getting a new iPad, the iPad 9 to be verbal. It will exist powered past the A13 processor, which Apple tree says is 3x faster than the best selling Chromebook and 6x faster than the all-time selling Android tablet.
Apple's also touting the neural engine on the A13 processor, too every bit the upgraded 12MP ultrawide camera that's now on the forepart of the iPad. To go with that camera, the iPad will adjust the Center Stage feature from the iPad Pro, and then that yous remain in the shot as you move around.
Middle Phase works in FaceTime besides as third political party apps like Zoom and Blueish Jeans. It works with things similar TikTok likewise, which should impress the young'ins.
The new iPad starts at $329 for 64GB (which is twice the storage as before). The education price is $299, and then clearly Apple tree is touting this as a tablet for schools.
Nosotros're getting a 2d iPad too — the iPad mini half-dozen in regal, pink, starlight and space gray. You get a liquid retina display with an all-screen blueprint and new enclosure.
Because the screen is edge-to-edge, Touch on ID has moved to the button on the acme of the screen — a trick Apple tree borrowed from the iPad Air (and should add together to its phones, if you enquire me.)
Apple is adopted the USB-C port for the mini, same as the IPad Air. And then that's a faster data connectedness. Apple'south touting the speed and improved neural engine on the iPad mini, too. (If they mentioned what chip is powering the tablet, though, I missed it.)
Simply the biggest connectivity improver may be the inclusion of 5G. Presumably that volition be included with the cellular selection of the iPad mini, equally opposed to the Wi-Fi-only version of the tablet.
Every bit with the other iPad (and the iPad Pro before it), the iPad Air adds the Center Stage characteristic. (It's virtually as if video conferencing has get important over the last 18 months.)
Like the iPad, the iPad mini now has Apple tree Pencil support. And then basically, this tablet is condign a lot similar Apple'southward total-sized iPad only shrunken down.
The iPad mini costs $499, with Wi-Fi and cellular connections. Like the principal iPad, it'southward bachelor to order today and on-sale next calendar week.
The iPads now dispensed with, Apple turns to the Apple tree Watch. Tim Cook says Apple is continuing to push the boundaries of what the Apple Watch continue to practise. And to bear witness you what that ways, chief operating officeholder Jeff Williams has been dispatched to the key coast of California to talk near new cycling features in watchOS 8. The best add-on: fall detection in example you and your cycle have a tumble.
But we're not merely hither to talk about how watchOS can at present improve rails cycling — Apple'south introducing a new generation of Apple Scout, the Serial 7. Information technology features the largest display ever — 20% more than than Serial half dozen. Borders are simply 1.7mm, forty% thinner than concluding yr's spotter, to maximize screen expanse.
We become rounder corners for the display, not the apartment edges that had been rumored. More chiefly, the sentry is 70% brighter when your wrist is down, so that it's easier to check the time. ("Discretely," Williams adds.)
Series seven has WR50 water resistance and is more durable than earlier. Charging's been improved to be 33% faster, but Apple Watch users will exist disappointed that Apple is still simply touting all-twenty-four hour period battery life. We had been hoping that Apple tree would boost how long its sentry would last.
The watch will come in Midnight, Starlight, Green and Product [Red] colors. Boosted colors for available for stainless steel.
The Apple Watch Serial seven starts at $399; information technology won't exist available until afterwards this fall (possibly confirming rumors that the Apple Watch is experience production displays.) The Apple tree Spotter Serial 3 remains in the lineup for $199 while the Apple Watch SE costs $279.
It wouldn't exist an Apple tree Sentry presentation without talk of Apple Fitness Plus, the subscription service bachelor in six countries. Xv countries will add the service later this fall with subtitled workouts.
Among the additions to Fettle Plus are pilates, guided meditations and a new workout plan that takes its inspiration from wintertime sports (Workouts to Become Ready for Snowfall Season).
Apple is likewise introducing Fitness Plus Grouping Workouts through Share Play. The feature volition be available through iPhone, iPad and Mac, and support upwards to 32 people at once. Presumably, with SharePlay not coming when iOS 15 launches, that characteristic will be delayed until later on this autumn. Otherwise, Apple says that new features are arriving adjacent calendar month.
Past the way, hither's our report on the iPad 9 and all the new features Apple announced before.
Sound the iPhone 13 alarm. Apple tree's set up to show off the new phones. A lot is the same from last twelvemonth — Ceramic Shield display and straight edges — though the camera array is rearranged to be diagonal. The notch is smaller, too as rumored, and there are five colors — pink joins black, white, ruddy and blue.
The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have new displays that are 28% brighter than earlier. And within at that place'southward the new A15 Bionic chip, which features a vi-core CPU and 4-cadre GPU. Apple says the CPU is the fastest of any phone, and we'd believe that merits given how the iPhone has smoked Android devices in past benchmarking.
Allow's talk cameras. In that location's a adjacent-generation image signal processor powering what Apple touts as the the almost avant-garde dual-camera system it'southward put on whatsoever phone.
The master 12MP sensor is larger to let in more light, and the sensor shift stabilization introduced in the iPhone 12 Pro Max is coming to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. That should mean sharper photos.
A new ultrawide camera is included to amend capture dark areas.
On the video front, Cinematic mode can arrange groundwork and foreground focus to brand your videos wait more like the movies y'all come across on the big-screen. You commencement recording and Cinematic style holds focus on the bailiwick, transitioning the focus in real time. One of the neater tricks is when your subject area trains her focus away from the camera, the iPhone will adapt the focus besides. You're as well able to tap to shift focus or lock it on some other subject
Camera demos don't always translate well to video, but this one really impressed.
Apple says the iPhone 13 features customized antennas to add together more than 5G bands than before — pretty impressive given the array of bands the iPhone 12 support. Apple tree'southward promising 5G back up for 200 carriers in sixty countries and regions by year'south finish.
Let's exist frank — battery life on the iPhone 12 wasn't dandy. Apple evidently heard those complaints because information technology's promising improve battery life for the iPhone thirteen. Specifically, the iPhone 13 mini will terminal 1.5 hours longer than its predecessor while the iPhone 13 could concluding upward to 2.5 hours longer.
Credit a bigger battery, the A15 processor and ability optimizations resulting from software and hardware integration. This is 1 feature we definitely promise lives upwardly to Apple tree's billing.
Prices are the aforementioned as last year — $699 for the iPhone 13 mini and $799 for the iPhone 13. Thankfully, yous'll get more storage, every bit the phones now showtime with 128GB of storage instead of a paltry 64GB. There are also 256GB and 512GB options.
Apple'south promising merchandise-in deals to lower the price of your new iPhone, which I'm sure we'll find out about later today.
"Say, aren't there ordinarily Pro versions of those iPhones?" Correct you are, friend. It's time to talk iPhone 13 Pro — "our most Pro iPhone always," Tim Cook says.
Y'all get four finishes — graphite, gold, silver and Sierra Blueish. Sounds like the color rumor mongers missed the boat hither. You get the ceramic display and IP68 water resistance, as earlier, and a redesigned interior makes room for a bigger battery.
Sounds like the iPhone xiii Pro gets a slightly modified A15 chip, with a 5-core GPU. Apple tree is touting it as the fastest graphics experience on the iPhone ever.
As widely anticipated, Apple is bringing ProMotion displays to the Pro lineup, with the ability to calibration between 10Hz and 120Hz, depending on what yous're doing on the screen. That includes adjusting the refresh charge per unit based on how rapidly y'all're scrolling through the screen
Apple's presentation features developers — largely from games and creative apps — talking almost the responsive, lack of lag and more detailed graphics that appear, thanks to ProMotion graphics.
At that place's an all-new photographic camera organisation, highlighted by a 77mm telephoto camera with 3x zoom. The ultrawide camera has a wider aperture than before for brighter sharper photos. The sensor on the main lens is larger, too, and Apple tree's touting the astrophotography aspects of that, every bit well every bit amend low light images.
All of the cameras accept Night mode, including the telephoto lens.
Kathryn Bigelow, who'due south won two Oscars, and cinematographer Greig Fraser are showing off what the iPhone 13 Pro cameras can do with video capture. It will not surprise you to learn that they were impressed with Cinematic way and the ability to create depth from a lens.
Later on this yr, Apple tree is bringing ProRes Video to the iPhone thirteen Pro. A15 Bionic adds hardware acceleration for ProRes video, allowing you to record 4K at 30FPs right in the camera app. As ProRes is favored in the movie-making manufacture, that'southward invaluable to creative pros.
Nosotros mentioned bigger batteries and Apple tree is promising longer battery life for the iPhone xiii Pro (1.5 hours longer than the 12 Pro) and iPhone 13 Pro Max (2.5 longer than its predecessor). That's bully news for the 13 Pro Max considering the iPhone 12 Pro Max just missed out on landing on our listing of the best phone battery life.
Toll are the same every bit final year — $999 for the iPhone 13 Pro and $1,099 for the iPhone xiii Pro Max. And yes, the long-rumored 1TB model is now with united states of america.
All four iPhone thirteen models go on pre-sale this Friday (Sept. 17) and hit stores on Sept. 24.
Apple tree's wrapping things up, which ways information technology's true that whatsoever Mac announcements volition have to wait for a future consequence. Also missing — more than curiously — are the rumored AirPods three.
While we're talking about things that haven't been announced, the Apple tree presentation came and went with no mention of the release dates for iOS 15, iPadOS xv and watchOS 8. If nosotros had to guess, the software's going to debut before the phones hitting the stores on Sept. 24, then we'd approximate early next calendar week.
And that does it for Apple's product event. Nosotros'll accept more than on what was appear all beyond Tom's Guide. Thank you for joining us.
