September is always Apple’s most packed month for product launches.

But October is coming, and Apple has plenty more announcements and product launches to make. Here’s what’s coming next.

Immersed Visor is a new headset aiming to fill the middle ground between simple ‘face monitors’ like the $440 Viture One XR and the self-contained $3,500 Vision Pro. Weighing about the same as an iPhone 16 Pro, it’s priced at $1,050, though there are some sketchier price models.
Like lower cost monitor-in-glasses-format products, you can’t use it as a standalone device – it’s solely intended for use as a Mac monitor – but it does offer hand-tracking and eye-tracking …

It wasn’t easy, but we have managed to secure 9to5 readers an exclusive delivery day deal on the beloved Nomad iPhone 16 cases. The brand is a favorite around here among both staffers and readers, and for good reason, but it’s also not one that goes on sale very often – almost never on its brand new gear, in fact. Starting right now, for 24-hours only (or until the clock strikes midnight on the west coast), 9to5 readers can knock 10% off all of the Nomad iPhone 16 cases using code 9to510 at checkout. That might not seem like much, but Nomad gear going on sale this soon after it is made available to order is nearly unheard of. And on top of that, the code works on all of the previous-generation iPhone cases it offers too – this yields prices as low as just $9.
