Because we had not heard of any significant delays around the launch of iPhone 13, we assume that it will be released in September, which is the usual release window to present new iPhone models. One reputation has claimed that the launch date is September 14, which sounds likely – but what products do we expect to see from Apple in addition to the new iPhone 13 series?
If recent years are anything to go by, we expect a full range of new iPhones to be unveiled at Apple’s upcoming events, along with some other complementary products. These can be devices like Apple Watches or new services – and although we expect everything to be presented during the same event, it is always possible that Apple chooses to split it in two.
Due to covid’s impact on production and delivery lines, last year’s was introduced iPhone 12 not under Apple September event – instead we got to see it his iPad, iPad Air 4, Apple Watch 6 and Apple Watch SE make debut, along with the announcement of Apple Onethe Apple subscription services package. Last year’s iPhone 12 and its siblings were presented instead at Apple October event, liksom Apple HomePod mini.
While we do not expect Apple to do the same with the iPhone 13, last year’s two events featured a long list of new gadgets announced. Here are all the products we expect to see from Apple at the launch of the new one iPhone 13.

iPhone 13
Okay, this one is obvious, but it’s worth pointing out that we expect a similar iPhone launch consisting of four new mobiles that we got to see from last year’s iPhone 12 range. This means two simpler models – the basic model iPhone 13 and the smaller iPhone 13 mini – as well as the premium models iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. There is always a possibility that the range will follow an iPhone 12S naming convention, but we have not heard any rumors to suggest that.
We do not expect the iPhone 13 range to improve significantly compared to its predecessors, and will probably be the same size with almost the same cameras, although we have heard rumors that flärpen becomes smaller, the screens can be improved and have refresh rates of 120 Hz (in all models or possibly only the more expensive Pro models) and have some form of Always Onfunction and internal improvements to the battery.

Apple Watch 7
There are rumors that Apple Watch 7 can be launched with the iPhone 13, although there are other rumors that it may be delayed due to production issues. The good news (if you want to call it “good”): these delays are due differences in design.
Yes, the Apple Watch 7 is rumored to get a new look, which will be the first visual redesign in the history of the smartwatch. The next wearable from Apple may follow footprints of iPhone 12 by having flat sides and even expand the sizes to 41 mm and 45 mm (compared to 40 mm and 44 mm), with a larger 1.9-inch screen. There are also rumors that it may get one glucometer to measure blood sugar level, although some sources claim that we will not see this feature this year.

iPad mini 6
It seems that a new iPad mini is finally coming: rumors suggest that iPad mini 6 will be launched along with the new iPhone 13 series, after a long wait then the latest iPad mini 5 came out 2019.
Rumor has it that the iPad mini 6 will be without a home button in favor of a fingerprint reader built into the lock button (much like the iPad Air before it). It also seems to get a USB-C port, smart connectors to be able to attach keyboards and other peripherals, and may possibly get a mini LED screen. Rumors also suggest that we may get one iPad mini Pro (or iPad Pro mini, as it may be called), which probably gets better specifications and 5G network compatibility.

iPad (2021)
We also expect an entry level iPad update in the form of iPad (2021), which follows up iPad 10.2 (2020) which was launched last year. Rumor has it that it will not change much, apart from a slightly lower price tag.
We’ve also heard that the tablet can get a 10.5-inch screen (compared to 10.2 inches on its predecessor), an A13 Bionic chipset (which debuted in the iPhone 11) and 4 GB of RAM. It can also start at 64 GB of storage in the cheapest model, which is a step up from 32 GB. But the handful of rumors we have heard agree that the design will not change much, except that it will be a little thinner and lighter.

Macbook Pro M1X
After seeing the MacBook Pro 13-inch model with an M1 chipset make its debut in November last year, we have been waiting for Apple to unveil new MacBook Pro models, which may be MacBook Pro 14-tums and / or MacBook Pro 16-inch models – and rumors suggest that it will have an improved version of the company’s own silicon, called M1X. The bad news? It may not appear along with the new iPhone 13 series and will instead be launched in October or even November.
Just as the 16-inch model replaced the 15-inch model from 2019, the MacBook Pro 14-inch model may replace last year’s M1 model. Since Apple managed to make the screen bigger by reducing the frames without expanding the 16-inch MBP chassis, we expect the same for the 14-inch model, which would make owners of cases and other peripherals happy.
The laptop can also take a step away from the “curvy design” that Apple used in the past, in favor of a more “flat-edged” design similar to the iPhone 12 and iPad Pro models. And it is still unclear whether the new MBP will get one mini LED screen or not.
