Apple Event 13 October 2020.

Apple has held an event in the spring for five of the last seven years. As the company’s portfolio of products and services grows, it’s getting harder to cram them all into just two or three events. The spring event typically takes place in March, but in 2021 the spring event was in April.

New cameras promise to be more capable, with sensor-shift stabilisation across all the cameras on all models. There’s a new Cinematic Mode in video, as well as something called Photographic Styles on the Pro models. All iPhone models will be available to pre-order from 17 September 2021.
