Apple held a special event, “Wonderlust,” on Tuesday, where the company announced the iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra, and several new accessories. However, even before the event, there were rumors hinting at the launch of several products that have yet to see the light of day. Here’s what Apple didn’t announce at this week’s event:
Black Apple Watch Ultra
The first generation Apple Watch Ultra was made entirely of natural titanium…so is the second generation. ShrimpApplePro bloomberg We reported that Apple is working on a black version of the Apple Watch Ultra, which makes sense since the titanium iPhone 15 Pro comes in four different colors.
However, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 only comes in one color option, and it’s not black.

iPhone15 Ultra
There have been many conflicting rumors regarding the larger iPhone Pro with a 6.7-inch screen. Some rumors suggested that Apple might change the name of its most expensive iPhone to “Ultra.” That’s because it’s the only iPhone with a new periscope lens for better optical zoom. Some have reported that Apple may eventually announce both the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Ultra.
Apple may eventually introduce a new iPhone Ultra, but it wasn’t introduced this year. His only two Pro models are the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Multiple USB-C accessories
Now that the entire iPhone 15 lineup has a USB-C port instead of Lightning, Apple has also updated some accessories that still rely on Lightning. For example, there is a new version of his AirPods Pro 2 with a USB-C charging case, and Apple also launched his new wired EarPods with USB-C.
A few days before the event bloomberg’s Mark Garman said mcroomers Apple was reportedly working on a number of new USB-C accessories, including MagSafe Duo and a redesigned MagSafe battery pack. It turns out both the MagSafe Duo and MagSafe Battery Pack have been discontinued by Apple instead of being updated with USB-C.
Of course, Apple has yet to update other accessories like the Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard to use the new charging port.

Color matching USB-C cable for iPhone
Multiple sources including anonymous “”Majinbu” reported that Apple will offer a new braided USB-C cable for the iPhone 15. These cables will be offered in a variety of colors to match the colors of the new iPhones, similar to what Apple did with his MagSafe charger for his MacBook.
All iPhone 15s come with a braided USB-C cable, but they all come with the same white cable and no color options are available individually. The leaked colored cables may have been designed for another product, such as the new iMac (which ships with the Magic Keyboard and Mouse).

Thunderbolt support for new iPhones
iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro have USB-C ports, but only the Pro model supports USB 3 speeds, which can reach data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps.a charger lab A report last month suggested that all new iPhone 15 models would support Thunderbolt for even faster data transfers, but this did not materialize.
iPhone 15 charging speed is faster
last month, 9to5 mac There is also information that some iPhone 15 models will support up to 35W fast charging. For comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro is limited to charging at 27W, while the iPhone 14 is limited to 20W.
Apple didn’t mention faster charging for the iPhone 15 during the event, but the iPhone 15 Pro’s tech specs webpage still says “50% charge in approximately 30 minutes with 20W adapter.” .
It is still unclear whether the limits will remain the same as those on the iPhone 14 or if the new device will be able to charge faster when using a different charger.
New iPads and Macs
There were no new Macs or iPads at this event. Apple usually waits until October or November to announce new Macs, but while the company has announced new iPads along with new iPhones in the past, that didn’t happen this year.
According to recent information, bloomberg The company is reportedly expanding internal testing of Macs equipped with the M3 chip. The new models include updated versions of the 13-inch MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini, all with new chips. Mr. Gourmand also said mcroomers Apple is likely to announce the new iPad Air through a press release next month.
