Surprise, everyone! Apple's going to launch a new iPhone. Crazy, right? You had no idea. You definitely know nothing about the device itself, or the screen it'll use, or whether it'll use your face to unlock, or if there's going to be a home button. Will there be bezels? Gosh, who could really say.
Here's what we do know: The event's going to be September 12, starting at 10 am California time. It'll be the first event ever held in the Steve Jobs Theater, one of the centerpieces of Apple's sprawling new campus. The location was reportedly up in the air for some time, as Apple scrambled to finish the theater in time for the announcement. Obviously, there's a huge sentimental reason to have the tenth-anniversary iPhone launch in the building named for its creator. For many reporters (but not for WIRED!) this will be the first chance to see Apple's new offices.
If all the reports pan out (Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has a good roundup) it's going to be a doozy of an event. We're expecting not one but three new iPhones, including a complete redesign of Apple's smartphone with some impressive new features. It's also time for a new Apple Watch, and an upgraded Apple TV could be in the works as well. Add that to some final words and updates from Tim Cook on the latest from iOS and MacOS, and a few jabs at Android, and it'll make for a seriously busy morning. Whatever happens, we'll be there live with all the news, analysis, and attempts to steal brand-new iPhones you could ever want.
