If past years are any indication, the company is most likely to refresh the iPhone and Watch lineup.

Apple iPhone 11 series

The company is said to bring three mobiles-- a generic iPhone 11, standard iPhone 11 Pro and big-screen model iPhone 11 Pro Max. They will replace the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and the iPhone XS Max, respectively.

The iPhone 11 is expected to come with LCD-based 6.1-inch liquid retina display (1792x828p), 4GB RAM, dual 12MP cameras on the back, 12MP FaceTime camera, and a 3,110mAh battery. It will be offered in three storages-- 64GB,256GB, and 512GB with prices starting at $749.

Barring the screen size and battery capacity, the iPhone 11 Pro (5.8-inch) and the Pro Max (6.5-inch) will have the same design and internal hardware with prices starting $999 and $1,099, respectively.

They will come with frost glass design with sturdy stainless steel frame and inside, the phones feature 6GB RAM, triple 12MP primary camera (standard + ultrawide + telephoto) on the back. The iPhone 11 Pro houses a 3,190mAh cell and the iPhone 11 Pro Max will ship with 3,500mAh battery. They will be offered in three variants--128GB,256GB and 512GB storage.

All the three iPhone 11 series models will sport a notch at the top of the front panel with advanced FaceID biometric sensors and a 12MP FaceTime camera. Also, they will house the proprietary Apple A13 chipset, support Wi-Fi 6 to offer faster wireless internet speed and come with bi-directional wireless charging capability similar to the Galaxy Note10 series.

There is also a rumour running wild on the Internet that the iPhone 11 Pro and the Pro Max would support Apple Pencil stylus, but we can't vouch for this particular piece of information.

Apple Watch Series 5

Apple Watch Series 5 is expected to come with two models-- 44mm and 40mm--similar to the predecessor, but will have a good upgrade in terms of internal hardware. It will have new Apple S5 processor, which will offer enhanced performance and extend battery life.

Also, it is said to come with the sleep tracking feature to help the owner improve their health and wellness goals.

The new Apple smart wearable will be offered in two new cases-- ceramic and titanium-- in addition to regular aluminium and stainless steel.

The company will also be releasing in new WatchOS 6 with new features such as hearing health notifications, menstrual cycle tracking and more.

Besides the hardware, the company will roll-out the new iOS 13 for iPhones, watchOS for smart wearables and special iPadOS for iPad series, which is touted to make the Apple tablets, a true alternative to laptops.

Furthermore, the Cupertino-based firm will officially commence Apple TV+ multi-media streaming service to take on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, among others.
In addition to movies, music and TV shows, it will be offering originals with the launch of new sitcoms such as The Morning Show featuring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell.

There are several more lined up for the coming months, as Apple has signed deals with high-profile Hollywood directors and artists including Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, Octavia Spencer, J.J. Abrams, Jason Momoa, M. Night Shyamalan, Jon M. Chu, and others to create content for Apple TV+.

Apple Arcade

The company will officially launch the Apple Arcade service on September 10. It is a gaming subscription service, and the subscriber will gain exclusive access to over 100 new games created by world-renowned SEGA, Konami, LEGO, Bossa Studios, Giant Squid, Klei Entertainment, Cartoon Network, Mistwalker Corporation, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Ken Wong, ustwo games, Will Wright, Snowman, Annapurna Interactive, Finji, and several more.

Speculations are also rife that the company would bring the new iPad Pro (12.9-inch & 11-inch) along with a generic iPad (10.2-inch) and new MacBook Pro, which by the way was last refreshed in 2016. But, there is a high chance Apple might host a separate event in October 2019 to showcase the new hardware.
