(Reuters) - Apple Inc on Tuesday scheduled a special event for Sept. 15, with fans and investors expecting a refresh in the lineup of some of the company's core products.

 

While Apple uses its September events to showcase its most important products, new versions of iPhone handsets might still take time as the company in July had flagged a delay of a few weeks from the usual timeline.

 

Other products usually unveiled in September include new versions of Apple Watch and iPad.

 

The event will be streamed on the company's website from its campus in Cupertino, California, Apple said, without providing further details.

 

The iPhone maker's typically cryptic invitation for media read: "Time flies."

 

Apple, known for splashy launches packed with hundreds of journalists at its campus, would be forced to tone down some of the excitement this year with the event running virtually for the first time due to COVID-19.

 

Apple's marketing chief tweeted https://twitter.com/gregjoz/status/1303357525668945921

 

"I wouldn't count on the iPhone 12 being part of any unveiling. With so much hype around the expected 5G capability, timing will be everything and this delay could prove a big issue for Apple," Investing.com analyst Haris Anwar said.

 

Analysts have suggested that Apple is likely to schedule a separate event later for the launch of new versions of iPhone.

 

"If they're unable to launch in October, then it could seriously hurt sales in the crucial holiday season, where many will be looking to replace their phones with newer models," Anwar added.

I have all the iProducts that anyone could need and was not impressed when I upgraded the OS on my Macbook only to find that I now have to buy a whole new set of MS Office. This company had doubled in value in a year so no need of my business.

 

So probably the only thing that would get me to sit up and take notice would be if Apple came out with a product called iCovid.

Post title is correct. 

I anticipate their offerings to be typically overpriced and needlessly proprietary, as they have always been. 

 

I've never owned a single apple product and don't intend too. That said, like any cult or religion there are always zealous followers eager to sing fatuous praise.

Then why post in the Apple forum?

 

Go away and be happy in your choice of product.

I replied to the post regardless of its forum title. Is there a choice in how to reply that I'm unaware of? 

 

Thank you for your informative reply and well wishes. Please consider them returned in kind.
