Apple has a variety of products in the works that are set to debut this fall, and this night, Bloombergs Mark Gurman and Debby Wu shared details on Apples launch plans, repeating a number of the reports that weve formerly become aware of the upcoming item lineup.

There are 4 brand-new iPhones in the operate in 5.4, 6.1, and 6.7-inch sizes, with Apple planning to stagger the
iPhone launches. The 2 lower-end 5.4 and 6.1-inch gadgets are anticipated to ship ahead of the Pro gadgets, and the 2020 launch timeline is set to be the newest relase given that the iPhone X came out in November 2017.
