Apple’s biggest hardware event of the year is only a few days away.
If past years are any indication, the event will be used to unveil a slew of new products, including new iPhones, a new Apple Watch, and maybe even a refreshed pair of its wireless AirPods.
Based on analysts, leaks, and reports, here’s what we’re expecting Apple to announce at its biggest hardware event of the year.

Along with two pricey, high-end iPhones, Apple is expected to release a lower-cost device with a 6.1-inch LCD display. The LCD iPhone could be equipped with a single-lens camera, compared with the double-lens cameras on the higher-end iPhones.
Estimates suggest this device would be more affordable than its brethren, with a price closer to $550 or $650.

At its WWDC event in June, Apple unveiled the new operating systems for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV — called iOS 12, Watch OS 5, and tvOS 12, respectively.
The new software typically becomes available each fall, which means Apple will almost certainly announce official release dates for each operating system at its event on September 12.

Apple introduced AirPods in September 2016, and they’ve become one of Apple’s most warmly- received new products in years. Given that it’s been two years since the first generation of AirPods hit store shelves, it may time for Apple to release AirPods 2.
Apple has already announced a new AirPods case that can charge wirelessly, but other new features are still rumored, like water resistance and noise cancellation.

Apple may be planning to debut a revamped iPad this fall.
According to a Bloomberg report from last November, Apple has been working on a high-end iPad that incorporates some of the features of the iPhone X, like Face ID, no home button, and a nearly edge-to-edge display.
Bloomberg reported at the time that the iPad could be released in 2018.
Apple’s most recent iPad release in April was a $330 version targeted at the education market.
