September approaches and we are gearing up for Apple season. <\/p>\n

If Apple follows its usual schedule, the company is gearing up for a big event during the first half of September. (Last year, invites for a Sept.12 event were sent on Aug. 31<\/a>.) And while new iPhones are all but certain to be the headline, nearly all of Apple's other product lines are due for a refresh, too. <\/p>\n

The latest credible report on Apple's plans comes from Bloomberg<\/a>, in a story co-written by Mark Gurman, a journalist with a strong track record on Apple stories. The story reinforces and elaborates on earlier reports, claiming that Apple will debut three new iPhones that utilize the basic iPhone X design (big notched screen, no home button, Face ID), as well as the Apple Watch 4 and new iPad Pros, all of which would be unveiled at the as-yet-unannounced September event. <\/p>\n

In addition to those products, Apple is also overdue to refresh its Mac line, though its unclear if new products like a rumored MacBook Air replacement would be announced in September or later. <\/p>\n

With so many new Apple products on deck, we've collected all of the reports and rumors herein. Just note that nothing here has been explicitly confirmed unless otherwise indicated \u2014 Apple almost never comments on forthcoming product announcements. With that caveat in place, read on for the lowdown on what we're hearing about new Apple products in the pipeline and when we might see them.<\/p>\n

Three new iPhones<\/h2>\n

Apple has faithfully announced new iPhones in September since 2012, when it debuted the iPhone 5<\/a>. And the company has offered two new models \u2014 the "standard" 4.7-inch size and "Plus" 5.5-inch version with a better camera \u2014 since 2014. Last year, it outdid itself with three new models, the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and \u2014 a few weeks later \u2014 the radically redesigned iPhone X. This year, Apple is widely expected to repeat that feat with a trio of totally new models that all follow the X design model: No home button, and nearly all screen.<\/p>\n

Plus, maybe a fourth sort of new iPhone
<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since its debut in 2016, the iPhone SE<\/a> has been the most affordable option in Apple's phone lineup. It's basically the components of an iPhone 6S<\/a> \u2014 minus 3D Touch \u2014 stuffed into the smaller body of an iPhone 5. Apple gave it a modest refresh in 2017 but a major update is way overdue. According to the rumors, however, Apple may deliver yet one more minor makeover in 2018, giving the iPhone SE 2 the same A10 processor used in 2016's iPhone 7<\/a>. Will that refreshed SE retain its miniature 4-inch screen along with the $349, \u00a3349 and AU$549 starting price? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n

Apple Watch 4<\/h2>\n

With Google<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> ratcheting up the smartwatch competition, Apple has a real incentive to shake things up<\/a> with a dramatic new Watch announcement in 2018. A bigger display<\/a> and click-free buttons<\/a> are possibilities, both of which would imply the first major redesign since Apple's signature wearable debuted in 2015. At the very least, we know Apple will debut WatchOS 5<\/a> (previewed at this year's WWDC developer conference<\/a>), featuring fitness improvements<\/a>, an instant watch-to-watch walkie-talkie mode<\/a>, support for podcasts and an ability to play audio from third-party apps on the go. <\/p>\n

New iPad Pro<\/h2>\n

When Apple debuted the latest iPad<\/a> in March, adding Pencil support and a faster processor<\/a>, it narrowed the gap between the entry-level tablet and its much more expensive Pro siblings. Now, rumors<\/a> suggest that the company will look to justify the Pro's premium pricing with a major redesign inspired by the iPhone X's design \u2014 shrinking the bezels, dropping the home button and adding Face ID. A decent specs bump would likely be part of the upgrade, too. <\/p>\n

New Macs and MacBooks<\/h2>\n

Sure, we got a new 13-inch<\/a> and 15-inch<\/a> MacBook Pro just this July. But for years hardcore Apple fans have accused the company of neglecting its computer lineup \u2014 especially the MacBook Air<\/a>, which has remained essentially unchanged for the better part of a decade. According to the rumors, however, Apple may have a slew of new computing products in the pipeline for 2018 and 2019. Here's what we're hearing:<\/p>\n
