In this week’s top stories: Apple confirms its September 15 event, but no new iPhones are expected. Additionally, beta testing of iOS 14, Apple’s face mask, and more continue. Read on for all the top news this week.
Apple this week officially set the stage for its virtual event on September 15. Almost immediately after the invitations with the slogan “Time Flies” were sent, reports suggested that the iPhone 12 would not be announced during the event. Instead, Apple’s unveiling on September 15 will primarily focus on the Apple Watch and the rumored iPad Air 4.
Also ahead of the September 15 event, Apple released iOS 14 beta 8 for developers and public beta users. This could be the last beta before the iOS 14 golden master is released, and we expect more details on the stable version of iOS 14 during Tuesday’s event.
You can find our full recap of everything to expect at the September 15 event right here.
Elsewhere, Apple made several changes to its App Store review guidelines this week. The new guidelines formalize the requirements for game streaming services on the App Store, including that each game must be submitted to the App Store individually. Other changes to the guidelines focus on in-app purchases, in-app clips, and more.
Peloton this week introduced a new Bike + with Apple’s GymKit platform. With the GymKit integration, Apple Watch users can simply tap the Peloton Bike + screen to begin a smooth workout and track heart rate and calories. More details about Peloton Bike + can be found on our new 9to5Mac sister site, Connect The Watts.
Finally, evidence continues to emerge suggesting that Apple is planning a bundle of its subscription services called “Apple One.” 9to5Mac and 9to5Google respectively found references to Apple One on iOS and the Apple Music app for Android. We could learn more about Apple One on Tuesday.
