It’s no surprise that this year’s iPhone event is a bit later than normal, as Apple said in July that the iPhone would miss its usual September launch window. The later launch is likely due to delays created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Apple hasn’t totally sat out of fall hardware season, though, unveiling new Apple Watches and iPads in a mid-September event.

 

My thoughts

I'm not an iPhone user so this does not excite me that much... but my fiancé has been chatting my ear off about rumored specs and features so I'm glad it's finally getting announced. That being said, I do have a medical condition starting to affect my life in that I might need to keep track of my blood oxygen level, so I may end up looking at a iPhone to pair with a new iWatch that can now measure Blood Oxygen levels, unless someone knows of a good watchOS equivalent.
