CUPERTINO, Calif.-If you're buying one of the new iPhones or the other hardware that Apple announced today, your new devices will ship with Apple's latest operating system updates already installed. But if you're not looking to spend a bunch of money on Apple's latest and greatest, the new updates will land on Apple's other supported devices on September 15. Apple is shifting to a year-based numbering system starting this year, wiping away the previous grab bag of all-over-the-place version numbers.
Next month, Apple is rumored to debut a slimmed-down iPhone Air, breaking from the small design tweaks and spec bumps that have become routine at its launch events. The three-year plan will see its hardware change to mesh with the new Liquid Glass design in its next iOS update, as Bloomberg's Mark Gurman highlighted in his latest newsletter over the weekend.
