Apple’s product release schedules used to be essentially as predictable as day following night and season following season, but while it remains safe to expect the core iPhone lineup to be upgraded every fall, not much else is as easy to anticipate many months in advance.
The iPhone 9, for instance, is widely expected to come out two and a half years after the iPhone 8, with a new iPad Pro generation set to follow in the footsteps of previous high-end models released back in the fall of 2018, and the AirPods Pro unveiled mere months after the refreshed “regular” AirPods with a wireless charging case.
