Apple is expected to show off new devices at its upcoming 'Wonderlust' event, but you may want to temper your expectations.

Apple is reportedly preparing to introduce new AirPods with a USB-C charging case, replacing the existing Lightning port. The company is also reportedly planning to integrate USB-C into future iPhone models. If these developments fall short, it could mean that Apple is reaching its limits in how quickly and to what extent it can make its products revolutionary, rather than iterative.

"Apple's commitment to delivering high-quality products and seamless user experiences is unquestionable," Johan Alexander, CEO of technology company APKCima, told Lifewire in an email interview. "However, the technology industry faces certain technological limitations. As technology matures, achieving dramatic breakthroughs becomes increasingly challenging, leading to more iterative design approaches."

If the rumors are true, Apple will unveil a series of products on September 12. Wireless charging will reportedly be upgraded to 35W across all models. The iPhone appears to be one of the pioneering smartphones to embrace the Qi2 standard, which combines magnetic and wireless charging.
