If you consider buying an iPhone or Apple Watch this weekend, stop!

So you’re looking for a new iPhone or Apple Watch and figure Labor Day weekend is the best chance to score some good deals and save a few bucks.

Please don't do that, dear reader.

This is the worst time to buy a new Apple (AAPL) device because the company is set to host its annual iPhone event on Sept. 7. The company is widely expected to reveal a slew of new iPhones and Apple Watches.

It’s not just that Apple is rolling out new devices in a matter of days. Even if you don’t want to snag one of those brand-new phones or watches, Apple could continue to offer last year’s models at reduced prices.

In other words, keep your credit card tucked in your wallet for a few more days, and you could score an iPhone or Apple Watch for a better price than you otherwise would during Labor Day weekend.

The next iPhone will get solid upgrades

Apple will unveil the iPhone 14 line up on Sept 7, complete with a number of changes that will improve the overall user experience. The company is reportedly killing off the 5.4-inch iPhone mini in favor of two larger display sizes: 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro will get the 6.1-inch screens, while the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max will get the 6.7-inch panels.

Apple is also using new naming conventions to make the Pro iPhones stand out more. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max is widely expected to come with the A15 found in last year’s iPhone 13 line, while the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will get new A16 chips.

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are also said to get new always-on displays, as well as improved camera cutouts for their Face ID sensors and selfie cameras. What’s more, the Pros will have updated rear cameras with 48-megapixel sensors.

The Pros will also have triple-lens camera setups with telephoto, wide-angle, and ultra-wide angle lenses. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will be outfitted with wide-angle and ultra-wide angle lenses.

Those are some worthwhile upgrades, especially if you’re still holding onto an iPhone that’s three or more years old. But you don’t necessarily need to upgrade to Apple’s latest and greatest.
