These are some of the rumored features that failed to make the cut at Apple's new product event

The seats are all empty at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino as Apple wrapped up its new product event hours ago. And of course, all of the stories will mention the new features found on the 2019 iPhones, the seventh generation iPad and the Apple Watch Series 5. But what about the new features that analysts and experts were expecting on these devices that were not mentioned today?
No reverse wireless charging for the 2019 iPhones
Another feature that didn't appear in today's event, iPhone Pro support for the Apple Pencil, always seemed like a longshot. In late July Citi Research, the research arm of Citibank's Private Banking unit, sent a report to clients indicating that they expected Apple Pencil/stylus support on the 2019 iPhone models. That was followed by an iPhone 11 Pro Max case render from Olixar which included a sleeve for the accessory.
And no, Apple did not include a rainbow coated logo on the back of the new phones. This was a rumor that we reported on last month.
Next year's iPhones should include a redesign, support for 5G, a Type-C charging port, reverse wireless charging, and perhaps an underwater mode that would allow users to navigate the touchscreen and take quality photos while swimming or diving. The rumor season for the 2020 iPhones officially begins now.
Apple Watch Series 5 still doesn't have a native sleep monitoring app
The Apple Watch Series 5 has a new always-on display that no one saw coming, but a couple of new features that some were hoping for did not appear. While blood pressure monitoring had been rumored for the Series 6 version of the Apple Watch, earlier this month a report citing Apple insiders said that the feature would be found on this year's timepiece; that turned out not to be the case, raising the blood pressure of those who were hoping for such a tool. Additionally, there was another report that called for Apple to include "Time in Bed tracking" on the Series 5 Apple Watch. This feature would track the user's sleeping patterns including movements and heart rate and would analyze it on the Health app. Sorry, but Apple did not announce a native sleep tracking app for the latest iteration of its smartwatch.
Both of these missing features could show up on next year's Apple Watch.
No Apple Glasses, no 3rd-generation AirPods
Apple made no announcements about third-generation AirPods. Apple will surely announce a new water-resistant version of its wireless Bluetooth earbuds with noise-cancellation, improved sound, and longer battery life, but it didn't happen today. And while Tim Cook was wrapping up the event, we could just imagine him saying that there was "one more thing." But that never occurred, and so the manufacturer's mixed-reality Apple Glasses will have to wait for at least one more year.
