Or they can just do like what Coachella did with 2Pac and have a Steve Jobs hologram walk out and announce the new phone.
Sell the baby. Just kidding! I'm totally joking. Do not sell the baby.This will be the first year since the 3GS that I don't upgrade.
Have pre-ordered the latest iPhone every year as soon as it went on sale before this one.
I have to prioritise my money this year, and having bought a Nikon DSLR a few months ago (plus lenses) for the pending arrival of our baby boy in a few weeks, I have to think where that £1k will best be used (granted would get £400+ for my 128GB 7 Plus).
Saying that, I haven't seen the keynote yet, and all my credit cards are empty LOL
Looking forward to watching it, I'm on 9-5 that week and it takes me just over an hour to get home. Might have to swap a shift
Enjoy people!
Apple today sent out media invites for its annual iPhone-centric event that will be held on Tuesday, September 12 at 10:00 a.m. at the Steve Jobs Theater at the company's new Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California. The media invites offer a first look at the theme of the event and feature the tagline: "Let's meet at our place." (via The Loop)
Apple's fall 2017 event will be its most significant in years thanks to the debut of a radically redesigned iPhone that features an edge-to-edge display, a vertical rear camera, facial recognition capabilities, a much improved processor, and wireless inductive charging functionality. The new iPhone features a display similar in size to the display of the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus, but with a body closer in size to the 4.7-inch iPhone 7.
Along with a nearly bezel-free display, the device includes a glass body and is promised to be the most advanced, most revamped iPhone we've seen since the introduction of the iPhone 6 Plus in 2014. We expect the OLED iPhone, which is rumored to be more expensive than traditional iPhones, to be sold alongside two 4.7 and 5.5-inch LCD models that more closely resemble existing devices.
The upcoming 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhones have not been heavily featured in rumors, but they too are said to feature glass bodies, support for wireless charging functionality, and improvements to the processor, camera, and other components.

The iPhones aren't the only upgrades Apple will unveil at the event. Rumors suggest Apple will introduce a third-generation Apple Watch with an LTE chip that allows it to be decoupled from the iPhone. There's been some talk of a potential redesign, but it's sounding like the third-generation Apple Watch will look a lot like the Apple Watch Series 2.
At the event, we may hear more about upcoming products like the iMac Pro and the HomePod, and there could be one other major hardware surprise in store for us - a new 4K Apple TV. Hints of such a device have been spotted in firmware leaks and we've known Apple has had a new Apple TV in the works for some time.
As for other hardware, many iPads and Macs were refreshed in June, so we are not expecting any updates to the Mac and iPad lineups, but expect to see new Apple Watch bands and new iPhone cases.
We've already been testing next-generation operating systems including iOS 11, macOS High Sierra, tvOS 11, and watchOS 4, but following Apple's event, we may see some of these updates released to the public. iOS and watchOS updates are often released just ahead of new iPhones, while macOS updates tend to come somewhat later. tvOS 11 is such a minor update that it isn't clear when it'll be released, but it could come alongside the other updates. One thing we may not see -- an Amazon Prime Video app. There's one in the works, but word is it won't be ready in time.
In line with past events, Apple's 2017 iPhone unveiling will kick off at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Apple will stream the event live on its website and on the Apple TV, but for those who are unable to watch, MacRumors will be providing full event coverage, both on MacRumors.com and through our MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

That really looks like a finger getting ready to touch the logo on that back of an iPhone. Either that or we’re witnessing the death of a strawberry.
I was sure you were talking about your iPhone 6 or 6S and rolled my eyes so hard, but pleasantly surprised. You really deserve an upgrade!
At this point I wish they would do an iPhone 4 Plus. The form factor was just about perfect, but it was too small. One that is about one-and-a-half times as big would be exactly what I would like. I don't need 18.5:9 or even 16:9 screen ratios. It is way too tall for the width I want. Basically something as wide as the 7 Plus but only as tall as the regular 7.
Of course the mobile websites would need to ditch the advertising banners that take up the top and bottom 20% of the screen. That's pretty much where all the extra space given by a 16:9 ratio is going anyway.

This sounds pretty awesome honestly. Would love to see it come out like that.
Right on time. I was just beginning to get tired of my 6s will miss the headphone jack though. Gotta say it.
I wonder if they'll say anything about upcoming mbp updates for late this year or early next year. Would be nice to get a teaser of things to come, for other products.

Looks to me they're showing the iPhone 7s and the new iPhone Pro. I avoid Apple 'new' products until the third iteration, so I'll be getting an iWatch 3. Time to replace my iPhone 6s+, so likely to go with the 7s+ and hold out to see how well the new iPhone Pro works out for the future.
Just updated my old 2009 iMac 27 i7" with the new one. iMac Pro is overkill for my needs.
So excited been wanting the iPhone 8 since I heard OLED screen. Will probably upgrade in February, hopefully the supply won't be as constrained by then. Finally getting off parents phone plan and will be looking for a good deal.
I love watching Apple Conferences, penciled it in the calendar

Do you have proof of that? You'll never know until you're gone too.Steve WOULD be proud, will implies that he is and the dead can't be proud of anything since they are dead
I definitely think there will be some surprises this year. I'm sure they'll be things we did not expect or anticipate, in regards to the iPhone and other devices.
Hahahaha I was thinking the same thing! Remember the articles of past trying to decode the invitation as if there was some secret msg.

Hey, congrats on the kid. And sound financial decision making.
That's getting into a different debate and I fear off topic, personally I don't believe in any afterlife or a god, I believe in science logic and reason, we had no life before we were born and we will have no life or consciousness after we die the same goes for what some may call a "soul" or "spirit"
But bringing it back on topic yes I do think that Steve Jobs would be proud if he were still alive. I think Apple really wanted to use the Steve Jobs theatre for this event and that could be one of the reasons why the event is being held later this year (or it may have nothing to do with it at all).
