Apple to unveil new iPhone 8 on Sept. 12

Apple

fanatics, here’s good news: Apple has announced it'll be holding its annual iPhone event next Tuesday, September 12.

It'll be the first event hosted at Apple's new "spaceship" campus in Cupertino, California.

Of course, Apple didn't say exactly what to expect, but given that the company has introduced a new iPhone around this timeframe for the last six years, it's a pretty safe bet we'll be seeing new mobile phones.

That includes the ‘iPhone 8,’ a device that's expected to be radically different from its predecessors. Improvements rumored include an edge-to-edge OLED screen, face detection, wireless charging, a virtual home button and an updated dualcamera system.

Beyond the new iPhone, we're also expecting to hear about an iPhone 7S and 7S Plus, in keeping with Apple's usual upgrade cycle, according to reports. As for non-phone hardware, rumors are swirling about updates for both the Apple Watch and Apple TV.

Moreover, from a software standpoint, Apple will certainly say when iOS 11, macOS High Sierra and WatchOS 4 will be ready for customers to download to their devices. While the Mac updates have typically taken a little longer, the new iOS and WatchOS should be out within a few weeks from the event, dubbed as the biggest of the year.

So, I guess we better get our savings ready if we want to upgrade to the latest iPhone 8. Those with a lesser budget can get excited too, as we’re sure the price value for the previous iPhone models will soon depreci at e.
