Apple has confirmed the long-awaited special event for September 12th, putting an end to the ongoing speculations. The event is intriguingly titled 'Wonderlust' and prominently features the Apple logo in a variety of colors, which appears to be a subtle nod to the forthcoming iPhone's fresh color options.
Anticipations are running high as the event promises to unveil the latest iPhone 15 models, alongside the introduction of the highly anticipated Apple Watch Series 9. Additionally, there might be a modest update for the Apple Watch Series 8 and even the possibility of a groundbreaking Apple Watch Ultra being revealed.
iPhone 15 series -
The upcoming iPhone 15 series is poised to introduce several notable enhancements, including slimmer bezels, the innovative Dynamic Island technology, a customizable action button, and the adoption of USB-C ports. There's also speculation swirling about the possibility of Pro models sporting a titanium frame, potentially leading to an increase in their price tags.
In a manner reminiscent of the previous year, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models are anticipated to continue using the A16 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 14 Pro series. However, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max variants are expected to usher in the A17 chip, built on a 3nm process, complemented by a new modem.
One particularly exciting development is the rumored camera upgrade for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, marking a historic moment as Apple explores the inclusion of a periscope camera for the first time. This cutting-edge addition is purported to deliver a remarkable 5x-6x optical zoom, a significant leap beyond the current models' 3x optical zoom capabilities.
Further improvements are also anticipated in the accessories department, with the new iPhone models likely to come bundled with braided USB-C cables that match the colors of the phones. While earlier rumors suggested Thunderbolt support, the latest information suggests that these cables will offer USB 2.0 transfer speeds.

The Apple event is set to kick off at 10 AM PT (10:30 AM IST) Scheduled for September 12th, with the streamed content originating from the iconic Steve Jobs Theater within Apple Park. In an added dimension, Apple has extended invitations to media representatives for in-person attendance, hinting at the prospect of a hands-on experience following the presentation.
