“Apple Inc. has scheduled a product announcement event on Sept. 12, according to people briefed on its plans, reinforcing expectations that the technology giant will release new iPhones and a smartwatch well ahead of the holiday shopping season,” Tripp Mickle and Drew FitzGerald report for the Wall Street Journal.

Siri’s new hearing aid.
…and some stay-in solution for Air Buds that don’t fit some of us. Buying the now available rubber condoms help, but they have to removed before charging, which is more than clumsy. This was a significant functional issue with the wired buds, but now more important be b/c Apple is shoe-horning use of wireless buds.
That’s why I bought the Beats X instead. Very happy with them.
How about shipping the new iMac PRO’s EARLY? And where is my touch bar external keyboard?
And thus the prophesy came to pass.
It looks to me like Apple is going to focus on iOS and the iPhone. I suspect the large pile of other things coming down the pipe will either be incidental or will be presented next month. I can’t imagine them attempting to cram everything into this one presentation.
