Apple Watch paired with Apple Music along with Apple AirPods will allow users to stream up to 40 million songs from your wrist. The watch is 70 percent faster thanks to a new processor.

Apple September 12 Event: How To Watch, New Releases, Launch Dates, Rumors
Apple September 12 Event – How To Watch:
Tuesday, September 12 is looming in the distance and here is how to be front and center as Apple makes their huge yearly announcement taking place at the Steve Jobs Theater on Apple’s new campus at 10am PST. For those of us who weren’t invited (cough) you can stream the entire event at Apple’s website here. But to ensure you have the best seats in the house, make sure your operating systems are up to date if accessing via iPhone, iPad, or iPod with iOS 7. If you’re on a Mac, you’ll need to make sure Safari 6.0.5 is installed and you’re running operating system OS X 10.8.5. If you’ve got a PC (side-eye, jk), you’ll need to have Windows 10 and access the internet using Microsoft Edge. Tech Radar also advises you’ll be able to stream the event through your Apple TV using their Apple Events app. Like any other system, make sure your TV is up to date and you’ve got the app downloaded before the event.
Apple September 12 Event – New Releases:
iPhone 8, 7S, 7
Over the past year, there have been a flurry of iPhone rumors with most reports coming to a final rumored conclusion of the possibility of three new iPhones being released. The rumors, reported by KGI Securities, expect 4.7-inch LCD, 5.5-inch LCD, and 5.8-inch OLED screens on the three new models. OLED display is expected on the iPhone 8 along with some other magnificent features to (possibly) include a bezel-less screen, facial recognition since Apple is reportedly looking to get rid of the home button (and subsequently Touch ID) for a Touch Bar-like feature. There’s also been mention of a wireless charging pad situation and, of course, modifications to the camera. Many suspect a dual-camera which is already in the iPhone 7, but there are rumors for technology that is much much bigger. Augmented reality anyone? Engadget reminded me that “AR is a big priority for Apple, as we saw back at WWDC in June when the company released the ARKit system for app developers.” As for the upgraded iPhone 7 and 7S versions, those phones are expected to receive much smaller upgrades, but also feature a glass-back to enable wireless charging on a pad. The 7S is also said to feature the A11 processor that will be in the iPhone 8.
Apple AirPods 2
Last year, Apple published a number of different patents. To date, we haven’t seen any come to fruition in any new models leading me to believe these new features might make their appearance in Apple Airpods 2. Fitness tracking and heart rate monitoring is likely to be found on the next generation of Apple AirPods. A patent for “Earbuds with Biometric Sensing” was published March 16, 2017 and it advised placing sensors at the location where the ear bud touches the tragus to track biometric measurements. Also, a few months before that, June 17, 2016 to be exact, Apple published a patent looking into a water resistant speaker. This would make the Apple AirPods resistant to sweat and able to withstand rigorous workouts. Apparently, they’re already aerodynamic (thanks to the funky white stem sticking out of every users’ ears), so AirPods should be able to stay out during those intense workout sessions as well.
Apple Watch
The high-tech wristlet, time keeper, and fitness tracker is expected to feature LTE which would allow the watch to function without the use of an iPhone, according to Bloomberg. Imagine streaming music, receiving texts, and using your map functions all without having to be connected to your cell? It’d be quite magnificent. Bloomberg believes the updated Apple Watch will probably be out by the end of 2017 (in time for the holidays) or early 2018. Either way, this new feature sounds like it’ll make a world of difference.
Operating Systems
In accordance with the the Apple Events before it, this event will probably also happen as simultaneously with a new updates to the iOS operating systems for iPhone. I’m assuming we’ll see a software update notification within 24 hours of the event. We will probably hear more about MacOS, Watch OS, and High Sierra updates during the event.
