Apple Files Several Unreleased Apple Watch and iPhone Models in Eurasian Database

Just weeks away from its annual September event, Apple has filed several unreleased iPhone, Apple Watch, and Mac model numbers with the Eurasian Economic Commission today, according to filings uncovered by MacRumors.

There appears to be over a dozen new iPhone models listed as running iOS 13, including A2111, A2160, A2161, A2215, A2216, A2217, A2218, A2219, A2220, A2221, A2223, A2296, and A2298, as well as four new Apple Watch models listed as running watchOS 6, including A2156, A2157, A2092, and A2093.

All of those iPhone models except A2296 and A2298 were previously filed in May as running iOS 12, and have now been updated to reflect that they are running iOS 13, while the Apple Watch listings have never been seen before.

As for the Mac, 11 model numbers have been filed, but all of them have either been released or were already filed in June as running macOS Mojave and have merely been updated to reflect macOS Catalina. At least one of these models could certainly be the 16-inch MacBook Pro rumored to launch this fall.

The filings do not reveal specific product names, so we cannot confirm details like whether the Apple Watch models are considered Apple Watch Series 5 models, but new models of some kind are evidently coming. Leaked assets from watchOS 6 recently revealed upcoming titanium and ceramic Apple Watch finishes.

The new iPhone and Apple Watch models will very likely be unveiled in September, while the new Macs will likely arrive in October or later.

There are also some already-released products on the list that have been filed as running Apple's latest operating systems, including various older iPhone, iPod touch, Apple Watch, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models.

Eurasian Economic Commission filings like these have foreshadowed the release of new Apple products on numerous occasions, including multiple iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, and AirPods models. The filings are legally required for any encrypted devices sold in Russia and select other countries.

Apple Rumored to Drop the iPhone's Action Button Next Year

Friday November 6, 2026 6:07 am PST by
Apple plans to merge the iPhone's Action button with the Camera Control starting next year, according to the leaker known as "Instant Digital." In a new post on Weibo, the leaker claimed that a single press of the combined button would open the camera, while a long press would trigger the function assigned to the Action button. They explicitly clarified that the dedicated Action button would ...

The new watch will make a constant tick tock sound. No-one knows why but legend has it this is a reference to something ancient time pieces used to do.

Ugh, shoot, doesn't this point to no new series 5 watch? Just 2 new series 4 models? A ceramic in 2 sizes and a titanium in 2 sizes? That'll be awful :(
Would it though? I personally don't see any hardware area where the S4 critically needs an update. Yes, a larger battery would be nice, but the S4 SoC seems to have all the power it needs for the moment and the new screen sizes seem to be generally well-received.

Jason Snell just posted an opinion piece on Macworld ('https://www.macworld.com/article/3433276/why-apple-doesnt-need-to-release-a-new-apple-watch-this-fall.html') noting he feels Apple does not need to release a Series 5 watch next month and I am in agreement with him.

I certainly am not in the market to replace my Series 4 and I would not be surprised if most felt the same. I understand those on an earlier Series who skipped S4 would prefer to go to an S5 rather than get an S4 now and have "lost" a year should a fundamentally better S5 come out in Late 2020 (which I kind of don't see happening - I see the S5 being a refinement of the S4 as the S3 was to the S2).

Offering a ceramic Watch Edition S4 would offer an upgrade path for those with S2 or S3 Watch Editions who are now multiple years on their current watch, so that makes sense. And titanium might appeal to those on earlier Series who would like something more durable than aluminum, but do not like the weight of stainless steel.

I wish it would be true./s

Have any one in your family ever owned a tall-case clock (aka. "grandfather" clock)?
My family did, a German Gustav Becker, last-century, Arts&Crafts tall-case clock.

The tick-tock I heard on a quiet evening was always soothing. And its quarter- and hourly-chimes are now missed as well. This is something we have lost in the digital age.

That was exactly my thought. In which case I will not upgrade from my Series 2 yet.
Some Wikipedia research to share for my own benefit below. I'm not seeing a noticeable trend in their model numbers... but I'm hoping someone else has better insight here.

Series 3: A1859 (42mm GPS) A1861, A1891, A1892 (42mm GPS + Cellular)
Series 4: A1978 (44mm GPS) A1976, A2008 (44mm GPS + Cellular)
Series 5(?): A2156, A2157, A2092, and A2093

Edit: At the very least, my prediction would be a revised Series 4 (A2092/2093) and a new Series 5 (A2156/2157). That seems to be in line with the model # jump, although it does not account for the 40mm model...

Sounds like I might be holding onto my S4 this year (and my iPhone from last year)

There was just the one rumor of ceramic and titanium, right? Interesting that everyone seems to assume we’ll see ceramic and titanium, rather than ceramic or titanium...
The rumor is based on code within WatchOS 6, so it's pretty concrete (excuse the materials pun) that both materials will launch next month in an Apple Watch (be it Series 4 or 5).
