Apple has announced an online-only event for September 15th — the Time Flies tagline of the event suggests a launch event focussing on the next-generation smartwatches. The company's lineup for the last half of 2020 reportedly includes four iPhones, a brand new iPad Air, and a brand new iPad, along side the Apple Watch Series 6. The Time Flies event is scheduled to start out at 1pm ET/ 10am PT/ 10:30pm IST on September 15th. it's not yet official, but it's likely that the launch event are going to be streamed live on Apple's website additionally YouTube channel. this may be the second major online-only event the corporate will host after WWDC in June this year, because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Not tons is understood about Apple Watch Series 6 at the instant , but the new models are expected to feature new health features like blood oxygen monitoring and enhanced sleep tracking. A recent report says Apple will launch a less expensive series to exchange the ageing Series 3 models. WatchOS 7 also will be a part of the package and can be released within days of the September 15th event.

All eyes, of course, are going to be on the iPhone 12 series. This year's iPhone portfolio is rumoured to be the most important yet – the iPhone 12 series is claimed to contains as many as four models. These will reportedly include two iPhone 12 models and two iPhone 12 Pro, each with different screen sizes. the bottom model will have a 5.4-inch screen, the iPhone 12 Max and 12 Pro will have 6.1-inch displays, and therefore the top-of-the-line 12 Pro Max model will have a 6.7-inch panel, the most important yet for Apple. the professional models are said to return with triple cameras and LiDAR sensor, while the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max will have dual cameras. All four models will reportedly feature OLED screens, smaller notches, and 5G support. Of course, the A14 Bionic chipset are going to be powering all four processors. Battery capacities of the four models are going to be 2,227mAh (iPhone 12), 2,775mAh (12 Max), 2,775 (12 Pro), and 3,676mAh (12 Pro Max), consistent with a recent certification.

Interestingly, Apple isn't expected to bundle the standard wired EarPods and charger with its 2020 smartphones.

Earlier rumours said Apple are going to be using 120Hz refresh rates on iPhone 12 but newer reports have claimed otherwise. Nonetheless, the usually accurate Jon Prosser in late August tweeted an alleged screenshot from an iPhone 12 Pro Max prototype showing the 120Hz refresh rate option. we'll need to wait to ascertain what eventually materialises on this front.

We can expect more iPhone 12 news next year also — apparently, Apple plans to launch 4G-only iPhone 12 models in early 2021 and release made in India models in mid-2021.
