The updates are expected to bring upgrades and enhancements to the operating system. As per reports, the updates will bring the ability to customise app icons on iPhones, the introduction of “scenes” in Freeform, and new accessibility shortcuts.

According to rumours, Apple might launch two new AirPods models. One of them will be the successor to the second-gen AirPods and a noise-canceling iteration to replace the mid-tier AirPods 3. It is also being speculated that the tech giant might introduce an updated AirPods Max headphones with USB-C connectivity.
