Apple held its annual September event on September 12, 2023, where it announced a number of new products and features. However, the event was a mixed bag, with some announcements that were met with excitement and others that were met with disappointment.

The highlights of the event were the new iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, and AirPods Pro 2. The iPhone 15 features a new design with a smaller notch and flat edges. It also has a new A16 Bionic chip, which is faster and more efficient than the A15 Bionic chip in the iPhone 14 series. The iPhone 15 also has a new camera system with a 48MP main sensor and a new ultrawide sensor with a wider aperture.
The Apple Watch Series 9 features a new processor, new health sensors, and a more durable design. The new processor is faster and more efficient than the processor in the Apple Watch Series 8. The Apple Watch Series 9 also has a new blood oxygen sensor and a new body temperature sensor.

The AirPods Pro 2 also have a new adaptive EQ feature that automatically tunes the sound to the user’s ear shape.
Disappointments
One of the biggest disappointments from the event was the lack of any new Macs. Apple has been rumored to be working on a new MacBook Air with the M2 chip, but it was not announced at the event. This is a major disappointment for many Mac users who are looking for a new laptop.
Another disappointment was the lack of any new iPads. Apple has been rumored to be working on a new iPad Pro with a mini-LED display and a faster processor, but it was also not announced at the event. This is a disappointment for many iPad users who are looking for a new tablet.
