Apple Inc launches their hardware products in the fall and it usually launches new iPhone, Apple Watch and various other devices at a time. But this year due to the pandemic, things may be a little different.
According to Jon Prosser some of the Apple products may be released through a simple presser, without any major fanfare. And the ones which will not be released through press conference may be launched later due to the supply chain issues. According to Prosser, the hardware launches of Apple will begin on 7th September with the launch of Apple Watch Series 6 and new iPad. These devices will be released through a press conference.
New, adjusted Apple dates!
