Apple will be using its September 7 special event to launch the second generation of AirPods Pro alongside the iPhone 14, a report claims, just days ahead of the event itself.

Apple’s special events in September primarily focus on the annual iPhone update, but other products do get launched at around the same time. While AirPods are considered to be a good candidate for a launch during the same event, a report insists that Apple will be bringing out new AirPods Pro this time around.

During the event, AirPods Pro 2 will be unveiled, according to Mark Gurman’s “Power On” newsletter for Bloomberg on Sunday. Though rumors were fairly strong about a launch sometime in the fall, Gurman insists it will happen during Wednesday’s presentation.

Over the months, rumors for the personal audio accessories have put forward claims of a stemless design, some debate over whether there will be some form of built-in fitness tracking, and case changes. There have been suggestions the charging case could include a form of hearing aid functionality, complete with a microphone and a speaker that could help with Find My recovery.

However, it is also entirely plausible that the new AirPods Pro could more closely resemble the first generation in form and function, with internal hardware improvements including changes to the H1 chip and Bluetooth connectivity a possibility.

What is certainly rumored to stay the same is connectivity for charging, with the case thought to continue with Lightning for the moment, but changing to USB-C in 2023.

Apple’s Calendar app is built around events, so here’s how to create and edit those events from your iPhone or iPad.

Adding an event isn’t the only thing you can do on Apple’s Calendar app on your iPhone and iPad. You can customize it in different ways and edit details, add relevant documents, send out invitations, and delete events that are no longer taking place.

Here’s everything you need to know about creating and editing events in Apple’s Calendar app.

  2. Scroll down and press Invitees.
  3. Type out the contact name or email address of the person you want to invite. You can also press the plus (+) button and select contacts to add.

How to Add Attachments to a Calendar Event

Receipts, reservation confirmations, invitation cards, and important documents are all examples of attachments you may need to add to an event. This will save you tons of hassle and time you may have had to spend searching for a file otherwise. Follow these steps to add an attachment:

  1. Tap on the event and select Edit.
  2. Choose Add Attachment.
  3. Select the file you want to attach or use the search bar to find the document you want. You can also browse through linked services like iCloud Drive and Google Drive to add attachments.

To add to the list, did you know you could also change the color of your Calendars and events on the app? You can technically be your own personal assistant with all these great features.
