Apple is scheduling another “Apple Event” for September 9, at 10 a.m. PT. This event will be keenly watched by tech gurus, import/export experts, tariff watchers, Wall Street junkies, and almost everyone else, as it will be Apple’s first big technical extravaganza since the tariffs went into effect.
Expected are details on the release of new software: macOS 26 Tahoe, iOS 26 for the iPhone, iPadOS 26 for the iPad, watchOS 26 for the Apple Watch, tvOS 26 for Apple TV, and visionOS for the Apple Vision Pro. These various operating systems have been in beta testing for months, and iPad enthusiasts, in particular, are eager to get iPadOS 26, which is a radical step up for the iPad.
On the hardware front, rumors say that Apple will announce at least a couple new versions of the iPhone. There have been sporadic reports of other hardware announcements, but it is unclear how much of that is based on fact and how much is based on wishful thinking.
You can watch the presentation on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac using the Apple TV app, or, if you have an Apple TV, you can watch it live on your TV. It will also be available as a recording a few hours after the event, if Apple follows past practices.
