The allegedly leaked paper, titled "Apple Software Development Resources", was created for the benefit of Apple employees and the company's engineering team. Twitter account "AppleBeta2019", which has provided in the past accurate information on beta versions of different Apple's operating systems, would have gotten what is referenced as a "newsletter" by a contractor on Tuesday.

AppleInsider has examined the document but is unable to guarantee its authenticity. As such, the following is offered for discussion purposes.

According to the source, Apple will announce this fall three new iPhones, called "iPhone 11", "iPhone 11 Pro" and "iPhone 11 Pro Max", which corresponds to the internal identifiers previously reported "N104", "D42" and "D43", respectively.

The cited timeline is classic for Apple, which typically unveils new iPhones at an event on Tuesday, launches pre-orders on Friday, and starts deliveries and physical sales a week later. A new generation iOS version, in this case iOS 13, is passed on to owners of legacy hardware the following Monday.

Regarding Apple Watch, the document confirms the presentation of four new models at a special media event on September 10, the launch likely coinciding with an iPhone on September 20.

Otherwise, Apple could hold a separate event for the unveiling of tablets, as was the case with the third-generation iPad Pro. The paper suggests that A2068 will be marketed as an entry-level iPad, while the A2198 model number will be the successor of the iPad Pro. Both should come with iPadOS 13 pending a stable version of iPadOS 13.0.1.

It is interesting to note that the document indicates that iPadOS 13.0.1 beta compatibility will initially be limited to the next iPad Pro, as smaller models will not be able to access the software until subsequent beta releases are released.

Finally, macOS 10.15 Catalina should be released alongside iOS 13, iPadOS 13, watchOS 6 and tvOS 13 on 23 September.
