Apple will hold its next big event on September 7th, when it's expected to unveil new iPhones and updated Apple Watches. Invitationsto the event were sent out this morning, with Apple simply saying "See you on the 7th."
This'll be the fifth year straight that Apple has held an early September event to announce new products. As usual, one of those should be the next iPhone. This new generation is believed to be extremely similar to last year's model, with only minor visual differences — such as fewer antenna lines — and one big drawback: the removal of its headphone jack. On the plus side, the new models
are expected to be more water resistant, with the larger phone reported to have a dual camera system for taking better photos. Apple may finally do away with the 16GB entry model and move up to a 32GB model as well.
Apple confirmed Monday that it will have a press event on Sept. 7 - at which it is expected to introduce a new iPhone and the next version of the Apple Watch.
While Apple never says what it's planning before it announces new products, this is the time of year for a new iPhone and there have been plenty of reports
indicating what's expected for the next smartphone. The main rumor is that the company is going to break with its normal upgrade rhythm this year. In the past,
Apple's alternated between offering major updates for the iPhone and smaller, more incremental updates. According to that schedule, Apple should be offering a
significant update to the iPhone this year, and call it the "iPhone 7."
