Apple to hold Sept. 14 event for new devices

Apple Inc. has set the date for its biggest product launch of the year: Sept. 14. That’s when the company is set to unveil its latest line of iPhones and other products ahead of a critical holiday season.

The company announced the event on its websites and in invitations to media, but like every Apple launch since 2020, this one will be streamed online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The company said the event, which features the tag line “California Streaming,” will take place at 10am. Pacific time next Tuesday.

The Cupertino, California-based technology giant has been readying four new iPhones, as well as Apple Watches with larger screens. Apple has also been working on revamped entry-level AirPods earbuds and new MacBook Pros. Last year, Apple held three events across two months.
