Description:
We expect the iPhone 13 range to launch in September, but we doubt it'll be alone: here's every product we expect to launch.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Since we hadnt heard about any significant delays to the iPhone 13 launch, we assumed it would come out in September, the usual window for unveiling flagship iPhones. A rumor has pegged the announcement date to September 14, which makes sense but what products do we expect to see from Apple alongside the iPhone 13?

If past years are anything to go by, were expecting a full range of iPhones
to take the spotlight for Apples late-year event, with a few other supplementary products. These could be actual devices like Apple Watches or new services and while we expect everything to be shown off in one event,
its always possible Apple will split it into two.

Due to covids impact on production and supply lines, last years iPhone 12 wasnt introduced during Apples September event instead, we saw the new iPad
, the iPad Air 4 , the Apple Watch 6 and the Apple Watch SE debut, along with the reveal of the Apple One bundle for Apple subscription services. The
iPhone 12 and its siblings were unveiled at Apples October event , as well as the Apple HomePod mini for good measure.

years two events included a big list of gadgets revealed. Heres every product we expect to see from Apple revealed at the iPhone 13 launch. (Image credit: Apple) iPhone 13

Okay, this ones obvious, but its worth pointing out that we expect a similar four-phone iPhone 13 lineup as we saw in last years iPhone 12 range. That means two lower-end models the standard iPhone 13 and the smaller iPhone 13 mini as well as the premium iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Theres always a possibility that the range follows an iPhone 12S naming convention, but we havent heard rumors suggesting so.

We dont expect the iPhone 13 range to improve much on its predecessors, and will likely be the same size with nearly the same cameras, though weve heard rumors that the notch is smaller , the displays might get boosted to 120Hz refresh rates (in all models or perhaps just the pricier Pro phones) and have some form of always-on function , and internal improvements to the battery .

The Apple Watch 7 is highly rumored to launch alongside the iPhone 13, though there are other rumors suggesting it could get delayed due to production issues. The good news (if you want to call it good): those delays are due to the difference in design.

Yes, the Apple Watch 7 is rumored to have a different look, which will be the first visual redesign in the wearable lines history. The next Apple wearable may follow the iPhone 12 in having flat sides and even expanding the sizes to 41mm and 45mm (up from 40mm and 44mm), with a larger 1.9-inch screen. Its
also rumored to get a glucometer to track blood sugar, though others contend that perk wont come this year. (Image credit: Future) iPad mini 6

At long last, a new iPad mini is coming: rumors suggest the iPad mini 6 is launching alongside the iPhone 13, succeeding the last iPad mini 5 that came out in 2019.

Rumors suggest the iPad mini 6 will ditch its home button in favor of a fingerprint sensor built into the lock button (much like the iPad Air before it), get a USB-C port, smart connectors to attach keyboards and other peripherals, and it may or may not go for a mini LED display. But rumors also suggest we might get an iPad mini Pro (or iPad Pro mini, as it may be called) with presumably better specs and 5G network compatibility. (Image credit: Future) iPad (2021)

Were also anticipating a refresh of the entry-level iPad in the iPad (2021) , which follows up on the iPad 10.2 (2020) that launched last year. Rumors suggest it wont change much, aside from a slightly lower pricetag of $299 (around 220 / AU$400).

Weve also heard the tablet could get a 10.5-inch display (up from 10.2 inches of its predecessor), an A13 Bionic chipset (which debuted in the iPhone 11), and 4GB of RAM. It could also start at 64GB of storage in its cheapest model, up from 32GB. But the handful of rumors weve heard agree that the design wont change much, aside from getting a bit thinner and lighter.

After seeing the MacBook Pro 13-inch with M1 chipset debut last November,
weve been waiting for Apple to reveal the next MacBook Pro models, which
could be the MacBook Pro 14-inch and/or MacBook Pro 16-inch models and
rumors suggest it will pack an enhanced version of the companys in-house silicon, called the M1X . The bad news? It might not come alongside the
iPhone 13 and launch instead in October or even November.

Still, theres plenty to anticipate about the MacBook Pro M1X. Just as the 16-inch replaced the 15-inch 2019 model, the MacBook Pro 14-inch could end up replacing last years M1 model. Since Apple managed to make the screen larger by reducing the bezels without expanding the chassis in the MBP 16-inch, we expect the same for the 14-inch, which should make case and peripheral owners happy.

The laptop could also move away from the curvy design Apple uses to a more flat-edged look much like the iPhone 12 and iPad Pro models. And the jurys still out on whether the new MBP will have mini LED displays . Check out everything we know about the iPhone 13
