Apple to Launch Four iPhones, Two Apple Watches, Over-Ear Headphones, New iPad Air, Smaller HomePod This Fall [Report]

Apple is planning to launch four new iPhones models, two new Apple Watches, its first over-ear Apple-branded headphones, an edge-to-edge screen iPad Air, and a smaller HomePod this fall, according to Bloomberg.

As previously rumored, Apple is expected to offer two basic and two high-end iPhone models that all feature OLED displays. The two basic iPhones will have 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch screen sizes while the Pro models will come in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays sizes.

The iPhones will all feature squared off edges similar to the iPad Pro. The high-end models will continue to use stainless steel edges versus aluminum on the regular models. A dark blue color option will be available for the Pro models, replacing Midnight Green.


An A14 processor will provide significant performance improvements. Sources say the 6.7-inch display is also a notable improvement. Similar to the iPad Pro, the larger Pro phones are said to come with a LiDAR camera.

Apple will likely ship the lower-end phones sooner than the Pro devices. Apple has already confirmed that this year's release will be a 'few weeks' later. The company has purportedly requested production of 75 million 5G iPhones for this year anticipating that shipments could reach as high as 80 million units. Sources say the new models will be launched in October.

In addition to new iPhones, Apple is also working on a new iPad Air with an edge-to-edge screen, a successor to the Apple Watch Series 5 and a replacement for the Apple Watch Series 3. That lower-end model will compete with fitness devices such as those from Fitbit.

It's also reported that that Apple will finally launch its long awaited over-ear headphones this fall and a smaller HomePod that will bring a lower price point.
