#### BrightDigit Newsletter September 2019 ## What to expect from the September event? Hello ,
As the children return the school, we approach that time of the year when Apple reveals new iPhones. - **So what do we expect from the September 10th event?** - How will it affect businesses?  - How will it affect developers?  ...Honestly probably not much. **Since the iPhone X, we've seen little changes when it comes to the iPhone.** This year we see rumors regarding: - a third lens for better photos - perhaps a new Apple Watch - maybe new AirPods?? Apple is more focused in general on: - Wearables (Apple Watch & AirPods) - *Pro Hardware like the *iPad and the Mac - Machine Learning and Augmented Reality - *"Services" *(Video Streaming, Music, Games, App Store, etc...) [**The iPhone, while it's most successful product, has plateaued**.](https://stratechery.com/2019/apples-audacity/) The closest preview of this was this year's WWDC Keynote.
