September is around the corner, and it's traditionally the time when Apple revamps its iPhone lineup, often accompanied with other new gadgets.
Thanks to months of rumors, we already have a pretty good idea of what we can expect from the event. But a report from Bloomberg ties a nice bow around the rumors while adding a few new details.
The report confirms previous rumors and says Apple will launch three new iPhones: successors to the iPhone XS, XS Max, and the XR. They'll have A13 processors, new OLED screens that replace 3D Touch with Haptic Touch (meaning that 3D Touch functionality will be replaced by a long press coupled with haptic feedback), and reverse wireless charging (as seen on Samsung and Huawei flagships). They'll look largely the same as current models from the front, with the same-sized screens.
According to the report, the high-end or "Pro" phones (meaning the upgrades to iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max) will have significantly upgraded video recording and a live video editing feature. Also, these devices will have a triple rear camera, with higher resolution (the report doesn't say how much higher) and a new, ultra-wide sensor. This will be coupled with some smart software tricks; for example, if you cut someone out of your shot, the phone's software will notice and offer you a corrected photo which it took with the ultra-wide sensor.
Other notable new features include a multi-angle Face ID sensor which will work from wider angles, "dramatically" enhanced water resistance, shatter-resistant screens, a new, green color for the iPhone XR's successor, and a matte finish variant of the iPhone XS/XS Max's successors. Finally, one option that won't be there is 5G; it's coming, Bloomberg says, in 2020, alongside rear-facing 3D cameras providing for better AR capabilities.
Bloomberg's report has some info on other Apple gadgets, though it's worth noting that it isn't entirely clear on whether these will launch alongside the new iPhones or at a later date.
Among these are iPads. The 11-inch and 12.9-inch models should get mostly internal upgrades -- new cameras, new processors -- while staying the same from the outside. The cheapest iPad's screen will be 10.2 inches, the report claims, and the original, 9.7-inch display size will be discontinued.
The Apple Watch will get similarly minor upgrades, which include new case finishes (ceramic and titanium models are a possibility) and software updates.
New AirPods are also in the works, with water resistance, noise cancellation and, unfortunately, a bigger price tag. The opposite is true for the HomePod, as Apple is planning to launch a cheaper variant, with just two tweeters instead of seven. Both the new AirPods and the HomePod are coming next year.

Finally, Apple will launch its Mac Pro and 32-inch XDR Pro Display, both announced in July, later this year.
There are no huge surprises in the report, which is appropriate given that Apple will likely launch new iPhones in a matter of weeks. Some details, like the exact names for the new iPhones, are missing, and we'll undoubtedly see more last-minute rumors as the launch date approaches.
