There won't be any new Macs or other devices announced through the rest of the year according to Apple. There are at least five notable items on Apple's agenda to be expected before the end of the year.
The next version of Apple's mobile operating system is expected to be released in December. There are a number of new features in the software update, including Apple's new whiteboard app Freeform, new Home app architecture, Live Activities for select sports games via the Apple TV app, and Sleep and Medications for the lock screen.
iPadOS 16.2, watchOS 9.2, and tvOS 16.2 will be released in December. tvOS 16.2 on the Apple TV allows multi- user voice recognition with support for up to six family members.
The Emergency SOS via Satellite feature will allow users to send text messages to emergency services when they are outside the range of cellular and wi-fi. In a support document, Apple says the feature will be available with an iOS 16 software update in November 2022, but the company has not given a specific release date.
Emergency SOS via Satellite will likely be enabled with the release of the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, which is expected to be released in December. There is a chance that Emergency SOS via Satellite will be enabled with the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, but there is no evidence of such an update at this time.
The service will be free for the first two years in the US and Canada. The feature will be added to additional countries by the end of next year, according to reports.
Apple acquired Primephonic in August of 2021. Primephonic's user interface and additional features will be combined with a dedicated classical music app from Apple.
There is still no sign of the Apple Music Classical app, but there is evidence of it in the code and on the server. It's not known if the app will be a built-in app or a free download on the App Store.
Even if Apple Music Classical is not a pre-installed app, it appears that the app will have system-level integration, so it will likely come with a software update later this year.
In August, Apple said it would expand its self-service repair program to more countries in Europe and Mac models with Apple chips by the end of the year, so it has less than two months to fulfill that promise.
The program gave customers in the U.S. access to genuine Apple parts, tools, and instructions to fix their phones. In August, the program was expanded to include MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models.
For many years, Apple has held a four-day Black Friday through Cyber Monday shopping event across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and select other countries, giving customers a free Apple gift card worth anywhere from $25 to $200 with the purchase of an eligible
