Once upon a time, Apple was a very secretive company. Any employee or business partner that revealed the details of upcoming products could expect harsh sanctioning. But that was the Jobs era; we are now in the more relaxed Cook period.

As a result, iPhone rumors are more detailed and comprehensive than ever before. So, what can we expect from the big Apple Keynote 2018? Here’s a look at all the leaks and speculation.

iPhone XS

It’s customary for Apple to release a new iPhone at this time of year, and 2018 looks like no exception.

According to leaked information obtained by Mac Rumors, there will be three new devices announced on September 12th. Two will go by the name of iPhone XS — a direct replacement for the current flagship iPhone X.

They will have edge-to-edge OLED displays (5.8-inch and 6.5-inch) and a larger camera sensor. In addition, leaked images confirm that Apple will offer a Gold version.

The third device will be a slightly more affordable 6.1-inch model, perhaps to replace the iPhone 8. This as yet unnamed model may have a single-lens camera, and no Touch 3D. However, all three devices should offer the TrueDepth camera system required for Face ID and Animoji.

The iPhone XS devices are likely to be priced at $800-900 and $900-$1000 respectively. Due to feature cutbacks, the third iPhone could retail for $600-700.

Apple Watch 4

Another major leak has revealed the pretty face of the new Apple Watch 4.

It shows a display that is 15 percent larger than that offered by its predecessor. It also shows nine separate pieces of information, neatly wrapped around the main dial.

In spite of the large display, the new Apple Watch won’t be any larger than the current model, thanks to reduced bezel thickness.

iPad Pro 2018

iPad Pro mockups

Strong rumors point to the arrival of a new iPad Pro at the upcoming event. Bloomberg, no less, is reporting that Apple is preparing two models — one that measures “around 11 inches” and a 12.9-inch version.

The new tablets could have smaller bezels, and they could switch from a physical home button and Touch ID to gesture controls and Face ID.

iOS 12 and macOS Mojave

Aside from the hardware, Apple will probably give us a good look at the new versions of iOS and macOS.

Reports indicate that iOS 12 will include upgrades to Siri and FaceTime. Furthermore, we will probably see the introduction of Memoji — cartoon-like characters that work just like Animoji.

Mojave will add a dark mode, new Finder views, Desktop Stacks, and more.

Other rumors

New Macs?

CNET says that a fourth, low-budget iPhone could arrive on September 12th, and reports suggest a new iMac and MacBook Air are in the works.

We could also hear about AirPower, Apple’s wireless charging pad, and some new high-end AirPods.
