I’m looking forward to this mainly because it’ll briefly put an end to all the clickbait rubbish on YouTube.
Admittedly it might only last a few hours before all the Spring Event shooting in the dark starts.

I'll watch with interest as usual!
Can't say I'm desperate to upgrade my 12 Pro Max or my Series 4 and I'm not sure features-wise they'll be anything exciting to tempt me either but we'll see. It's always that balance of 'do I reeeeeally need to upgrade? vs the resale/recycle value going down the longer you leave it.
I do need to my ageing 2012 Mini as that's resigned to the no-more-software-updates bin now, but I'm waiting for the bigger MBP to come out with Apple silicon.

I say that as well, the 12 is a great phone but, you know, new shiny and all that…
Soldato
Do you mean curved edges like on the iPhone 7-11 or do you mean curved screens?
If it’s the latter then I sincerely hope not! The flat screen was one of the main reasons I moved to iPhone.
Curved phone displays are an abomination.

The flat design of the current 12 is ideal, they’ve moved the iPad design to a similar style as well as the iMac.
I much prefer it personally, it feels better. Can’t see them switching back to the curved style so quickly.
IIRC (can’t be bothered to google) the 4, 4s, 5 and 5s where all the flat style before they went back to the curve design.

Been holding out with my XS Max, iOS 15 beta has been running fine but I’m after a camera upgrade.
Not sure what else they can add that’ll actually make it any better.
Will probably keep my watch series 4 for another year if the rumours of additional bio monitor stuff is true for next year.

Sweet.
I'll either get the 13 or the 12 once the price reduces.

I tend to do my watch each year and my phone every two to three years at the moment, no real plans to do either this year.
Would like a new set of AirPods though (not Pro).

Yeah true, let’s see how we feel after the event

This is my thinking. I have an 11pro which I've had no problems with but recently smashed the screen. I was going to get it fixed but may as well see what's on the horizon first.

My iphone 8 plus is starting to look a little long in the tooth. I may consider a 13 upgrade if there is enough of a difference between the two and if the battery life is good.
Soldato
Smart money is yes (it’s too hopeful).
Apparently an October event for that…
