We’re just one month away from fall, and the kickoff of Apple’s major product launch season. Summer has been quiet for new products, but Apple is gearing up for a big fall 2024 starting with its iPhone 16 event in September.

Here are all the new Apple products launching this fall.

Apple has set the date for its next Apple Watch Activity Challenge. Coming up on August 25, users can score a special National Parks-themed award for completing a workout of 20 minutes or more.

iPhone Mirroring is one of the headlining features of iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia, set to launch to the public this fall. With the latest betas of these updates, Apple has added a new feature to iPhone Mirroring: the ability to enter “jiggle mode” and rearrange your iPhone’s Home Screen.

Apple has officially opened applications for the fifth year of its Apple Entrepreneur Camp. Apple says that its Entrepreneur Camp “supports underrepresented founders and developers, and encourages the pipeline and longevity of these entrepreneurs in technology.”

New iPhones are coming soon. The iPhone 16 lineup will debut in September, and an iPhone SE 4 is set for next spring. In a normal year, Apple keeps selling the previous year’s iPhones at a reduced price. But based on what we know about the new models coming soon, it’s hard to see much of a future for the standard iPhone 15—especially without Apple Intelligence.

Here’s why the iPhone 15 may be obsolete faster than any other model in history.

Believe it or not, we’re just a month away from the iPhone 16’s announcement. Apple is expected to hold its event sometime in the first two weeks of September, which means the event will likely be announced in just a couple of weeks. Here’s what history tells us about the iPhone 16 event timeline.

Apple Intelligence is available now in developer betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1. It will launch publicly to all users later this fall. The device requirements are strict, presumably to delivery a quality experience no matter what device you’re using. I’ve measured the performance of Apple Intelligence across my own devices, and here’s what I’ve found.

Yesterday, Apple released not one but two new iOS 18 betas for testing. iOS 18 beta 6 is now available for developers and public beta users, while iOS 18.1 beta 2 is now available for developers.

Head below for a roundup of what’s new in each of these new releases.

I’m a huge fan of Apple Wallet, not just for Apple Pay, but also as a single repository for all my tickets, boarding passes, and the like.

I love the proactive way they pop up when close to boarding time, making it a single tap to scan at a barrier, boarding gate, or manual ticket check …

We’ve been hearing multiple rumors about a potential new iPhone 17 model that will have a new, slimmer design. The first rumors about this “iPhone Slim” suggested that this version would be positioned as an ultra high-end model and could cost more than an iPhone Pro Max. However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now pointed out that iPhone Slim will be more like an “iPhone Air” – and that puts all the rumors in a whole new direction.

Last week, Apple announced changes to its compliance strategy with the Digital Markets Act in the European Union. These changes apply to apps that link to a web page and include a new fee structure centered around the Initial Acquisition Fee and the Store Services Fee.

As it turns out, Apple’s changes to its guidelines around linking out in the EU are quite similar to Google’s Play Store policies in the EU – but with a few key differences. Here’s how the two arrangements stack up.

For years, Apple has prevented developers from distributing any kind of emulators for iOS on the App Store. However, as the company faces pressure from the European Union with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) antitrust legislation, iPhone and iPad emulators are now allowed. Thanks to this, iDOS 3 is now available on the App Store.
