Apple introduced the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Professional at its Wonderlust occasion on 12 September alongside a brand new Apple Watch Sequence 9 and Apple Watch Extremely 2 – however there have been lots of merchandise the corporate didn’t replace.
In case you have been eagerly ready for brand spanking new Apple product bulletins so you possibly can lastly make that improve and need to know precisely what Apple didn’t announce in the present day then you definitely’ve come to the fitting place.
iPad
iPad barely received a point out on the iPhone 15 occasion, besides when Apple identified the brand new iPhone fashions now have USB-C ports, the identical because the MacBook and most iPads. Lastly.
We reckon there is perhaps an iPad Professional replace on the best way however clearly Apple is saving that for its personal occasion – perhaps in October or perhaps even only a press launch prefer it does often.
Given the common iPad was up to date in 2022 it’ll be some time earlier than we see a brand new one, although I’m disenchanted there was no iPad mini replace. Nice as that little factor is it’s lengthy within the tooth now and will do with some ProMotion love and a worth dip, please and thanks Apple.
MacBook
There’s been lots of love for the MacBook in recent times as Apple launched the M2 chip and breathed new life into the MacBook Air with a brand new design and first ever 15-inch mannequin in 2022. For some time, it appeared just like the iPad was the place Apple thought all of computing would go.
Regardless of the rebirth of the MacBook, there wasn’t something new for the road introduced on the 12 September occasion.
Tim Prepare dinner began the entire present by bragging in regards to the optimistic reception to the 15in MacBook Air, however that was it.

iMac
There was no point out of the iMac. Apple nonetheless solely sells one all-in-one iMac, the M1 model it introduced again in 2021.
I for one beloved that iMac and am looking forward to Apple to recollect it exists and replace it. Or no less than give it a tasty worth reduce, please.
Apple TV
Apple TV is my favorite Apple product ever. Possibly even simply because it lets me use my iPhone because the enter for passwords reasonably than the distant.
It received no point out on the Wonderlust occasion. Although, it’s not been lengthy because the latest Apple TV 4K received an replace to the A15 Bionic chip in November 2022, so there’s not a lot Apple might have added. My older mannequin continues to be going sturdy.
Pair it as much as a few HomePod minis and also you’ve received one candy method to enhance any tv.
HomePod
Talking of HomePod, all quiet from Apple in the present day. The HomePod 2 was introduced again in January and can doubtless tide the road over for some time.
Then once more, it’s most likely not lengthy until Apple updates the HomePod mini, which has solely seen new color strains because it debuted in 2020. Possibly Apple will kill it prefer it did the primary HomePod, solely to resurrect it with a sequel that modifications virtually nothing.
OK, perhaps depart it alone, Apple.

Imaginative and prescient Professional
Apple chipped in to say how nice was the response to Imaginative and prescient Professional, a product you strap to your face that isn’t out there but however when it’s will value $3,499 and is just for US prospects.
Tim Prepare dinner was fast to say proper in the beginning of the occasion how excited he was that builders be developin’ for the brand new platform. Hurry up, devs!
The iPhone 15 Professional and Professional Max can even be capable of take Spatial video quickly that may be considered on the Imaginative and prescient Professional. Are you able to see how that is all being knitted collectively into Apple’s cosy multiverse?
AirPods
No new AirPods, however there was one little change – the AirPods Professional 2 will now be bought with a USB-C charging case reasonably than Lightning, to match the iPhone 15.
The buds inside stay the identical (barring an enchancment to IP54 water resistance) so this doesn’t depend as an replace, I decree. AirPods second- and third-gen are nonetheless being bought with Lightning instances.
Apple Watch X
We received a model new Apple Watch Extremely 2 on the iPhone 15 occasion – nicely it’s not that new, it seems to be and capabilities mainly the identical – however no Apple Watch X.
This ‘X’ mannequin is rumoured, identical to we received the iPhone X in 2017. However that was to rejoice the tenth anniversary of the iPhone. Given the Apple Watch launched in 2014, Apple is rumoured to be gearing up for a equally named Watch in 2024 (I suppose, because it didn’t land in the present day).
The iPhone X was when Apple launched Face ID and a complete redesign of the iPhone. How a lot can the Cupertino firm change the Watch? No bezel in any respect? Hologram show? Absolutely not a round body?
All can be revealed subsequent 12 months, most likely.
