Apple To Reveal New iPhones, Other Products On Sept. 12

After months of speculation, Apple confirmed what many already suspected. The newest line of iPhones will be officially unveiled at its Cupertino, California, headquarters in September. The event was confirmed in a simple image sent out to tech press on Thursday.

The press conference will occur at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino at 10 a.m. PT on Sept. 12. In all likelihood, there will be more than just new iPhones at this event, per CNBC. The new smartphones will certainly be the main draw, but the Apple Watch, Mac Mini and Apple’s litany of other hardware products will certainly get some stage time, as well.

Though it took Apple until the end of August to confirm the date of the announcement, many expected the company to show off its newest wares in September. Almost every iPhone model in the past several years has been announced, and then launched, each September.

Apple is widely expected to show off three new iPhones, similar to its approach in 2017. Last year, Apple unveiled the two iPhone 8 models, as well as the $1,000 iPhone X. This year should be similar, with a more affordable 6.1-inch model and a premium 6.5-inch behemoth with an OLED screen expected to be announced. A 5.8-inch model that also has an OLED display will theoretically be priced in between the other two.

The new iPhones may simply be incremental upgrades over last year’s models. Still, the 6.5-inch phone would be the biggest iPhone ever, so customers can look forward to seeing that.

Apple-focused analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted the low-end, 6.1-inch model may be delayed from a September launch. Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty previously said the delay may be because of production problems. Last year, the pricey iPhone X missed the normal September launch window, waiting until November to get into customers’ hands instead.

One small detail potential early adopters should note is that the new iPhones may not come with headphone jack adapters like they did in the past two years. Apple packaged the dongles with new iPhones after removing headphones jacks from the devices, but rumor has it anyone who wants one may need to buy it separately this year.
