Apple’s much-anticipated September event is on the horizon, promising new iPhone and Apple Watch models alongside potential surprises. As the event approaches, rumors about these devices and other future products continue to circulate. Meanwhile, Apple is finalizing iOS 26 and related updates in preparation for the event.
In a significant development, Apple is reportedly working on a new operating system named “Charismatic” for its upcoming home hub device and tabletop robot. This OS is expected to integrate features from tvOS and watchOS, focusing on clock faces, widgets, Siri commands, and multi-user facial recognition.
Leaked images suggest the iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature two types of metal-covered batteries, catering to models with and without a physical SIM card tray. As the launch nears, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is also set to debut, offering several enhancements since its last update in 2023. Minor updates are anticipated for the Series 11, while the Apple Watch SE might receive more substantial changes. Looking further ahead, a significant redesign with Touch ID is rumored for 2026.
The latest iOS 26 beta reveals new features, including a redesigned Blood Oxygen feature and notifications for the Adaptive Power mode. Additionally, Apple’s new “TechWoven” cases for the iPhone 17, featuring a “Crossbody Strap” option, have been leaked.
Finally, Apple has released iOS 18.6.2, iPadOS 18.6.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 to address security vulnerabilities, urging users to update their devices.
