Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra
Apple is also set to reveal the next iterations of its smartwatches, the Apple Watch Series 9 and the second generation of the Apple Watch Ultra.
AirPods Pro: Going USB-C
In a significant move, the updated AirPods Pro will feature one of the key changes introduced with the new iPhones – a shift from the familiar Lightning connector to the versatile USB-C.
