Tomorrow we have one of the most important technological events of the year and that means that half the planet will have its eyes on it. We are talking, of course, about the traditional keynote September of Apple, an event in which the firm will present its new iPhone along with other news that are yet to be discovered. Its launch, as usual, will bring with it changes to its catalogue, incorporating renewed models and also… saying goodbye to others whose absence may annoy more than one. And everything indicates that there is a version of the iPhone that has about 24 hours of life left…
iPhone 15 and other surprises
That he iPhone 15 will be presented tomorrow is more than a no-brainer at this point. It is true that the block house never directly confirms what it is going to show in its keynotes, but the dates always speak for themselves and so do the rumors. September is always iPhone month and a new generation It is now at the door to brighten the lives of all lovers of this legendary phones.
There are many news that are expected (and few confirmations) although at this point there are some details that seem to already be written almost in stone such as a new Bionic processor, greater amount of RAM (8 GB), a new customizable Access button and a USB port -C who will say goodbye to the mythical Lightning. We also expect their screen frames to be reduced and even an extra feature on the iPhone 15 Pro Max at a photographic level with a more powerful optical zoom (exclusive, as we noted, to this version).
We also hope to see tomorrow a new generation of the Apple Watch and the Watch Ultra and who knows what else. While we wait for the moment to arrive, what we could also ensure is what we will not see once the keynote ends: the model iPhone 13 miniwho would say goodbye forever tomorrow, September 12.
Goodbye, mini, it was a pleasure
Presentation of the model iPhone mini brought all kinds of opinions: there are those who saw in it a step backwards and an unnecessary bet that contributed little or nothing to the apple catalog, while others found in it the salvation of increasingly larger and larger smartphone formats. .
The latter can see their favorite size disappear after tomorrow. That at least is what Mark Gorman points out. Bloomberg, who indicates that retail stores already register a very low stock of iPhone 13 mini and without a view to replacement. Given that we did not have an iPhone 14 mini and a 15 mini is not expected, everything seems to indicate that Apple is going to shelve this version and discontinue it forever.
Latest tidbits from retail:
– Low/no stock of Watch Ultras, watch bands, leather cases, MagSafe wallets, iPhone 12, 13 minis, Pro phones
– Merchandise reset on evening of Sept. 12 with manager call set for after event. Uncharacteristic for event days
– Plan to push USB-C bricks— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) September 10, 2023
There will always be, however, distributors who still have stock in their warehouse and who most likely lower the price after tomorrow (once discontinued and with generation 15 already in circulation, its value should drop significantly). You are warned.
And you, were you a fan of the mini?
