After the September 10 unveiling, the devices will launch on Friday, September 20. With that timeline, we can expect new software like iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia to come out a few days ahead of the September 20 hardware launch.

In fact, Apple is expected to move its entire Mac lineup to the M4 family of chips (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/08/23/apple-testing-four-m4-macs/) over the next ~12 months, with several models expected to see updates before the end of this year (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/08/15/these-new-macs-are-coming-in-2024/).



<h2>Five New Features in the iOS 18 Phone App</h2>

iOS 18 will see its public release in just about a month, and we're continuing our series of articles looking at updates coming for individual apps.

One of the apps seeing significant updates is the Phone app (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ios-18-phone-app/), which will allow users to record and transcribe calls, with devices supporting Apple Intelligence also able to summarize transcriptions. You'll also be able to search your call history, see contact suggestions when you start typing numbers on the keypad, and more.



<h2>First Plans for Apple's Tabletop Robot Spotted in Supply Chain</h2>

We've been hearing for some time about Apple's work on a tabletop robot, and it appears the project is moving forward (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/08/14/apple-tabletop-robotic-home-device-2026/) with a focus on smart home control, videoconferencing, and home security monitoring.
