Hartley Charlton noted that macOS 15.0 Sequoia is expected to be released by mid-September, which would be the earliest macOS launch in over a decade. This release might coincide with the launch of the iPhone 16 lineup and new Apple Watch models.

Eric Slivka's Mark Gurman shared last-minute predictions for the Apple event, including a new black color option for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 but no third-generation model. Updated AirPods Max headphones with improved audio performance and USB-C are also expected.

Joe Rossignol's Mark Gurman reiterated that no Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected this year. Instead, a black titanium color option for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will be introduced. This aligns with previous reports suggesting a delay in the Apple Watch Ultra 3 for further health management feature development.
