            Apple Event Scheduled for September 7, iPadOS 16 Delayed

   Josh Centers

   It's official: the next [1]Apple event will take place on 7 September
   2022 at 10 AM PT. As always, you'll be able to stream it from Apple's
   website or on your Apple TV, and Apple makes it easy to [2]add it to
   your calendar.

   Traditionally, Apple announces new iPhones in September. This year's
   rumor mill has focused on the Pro line and the possible addition of a
   plus-sized regular iPhone model with Pro features. [3]Rumors are
   swirling about an iPhone 14 Pro that will replace the notch with a
   pinhole for the front-facing camera, feature an always-on display like
   recent Apple Watch models, and boast a 48-megapixel rear camera with a
   larger sensor. Talk surrounding the iPhone 14 suggests that it will be
   a modest update using the same processor as the iPhone 13. As always,
   take such predictions with a grain of salt.

   We also expect Apple will unveil the Apple Watch Series 8, possibly
   with a temperature sensor that could enable fever detection and
   fertility tracking. Also expected are a refreshed Apple Watch SE and a
   ruggedized Apple Watch Pro with a larger screen. Apple may also show
   the second generation of AirPods Pro with a new industrial design and a
   case that can play sounds to make it easier to locate with Find My.

   Finally, Apple will almost certainly also announce launch dates for iOS
   16 and watchOS 9. I am in the process of putting the finishing touches
   on the upcoming Take Control of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, which I've been
   working on all summer.

   However, don't expect iPadOS 16 at the same time. Apple has confirmed
   that it will [4]delay iPadOS 16's release until after the release of
   iOS 16, with the initial iPadOS 16.1 perhaps joining macOS 13 Ventura
   in October. Apple is reportedly still ironing out wrinkles in the Stage
   Manager feature (see '[5]First Impressions: Stage Manager on the iPad
   and Mac,' 18 July 2022).
