It’s official! Apple is holding an event on September 10. The California-based company has just sent out invites to a press conference titled "By innovation only" which will take place at the Steve Jobs Theatre on Apple’s campus and kick off at 10 am PDT/1 pm EDT.

Every year since 2012, Apple has introduced new iPhones in September and this year isn't expected to be any different. The company hasn't yet confirmed the plans officially but reports suggest the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max will all be unveiled next month. These devices should replace last year's iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max respectively and are expected to feature several upgrades both inside and outside.


Internally, last year's A12 Bionic is set to be replaced by the A13 Bionic which will be paired with the iOS 13 software. Externally, the biggest change will arrive in the form of a large square camera module on the rear. This will house an all-new triple-camera setup in the case of the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max that'll consist of a 12-megapixel primary camera, a second 12-megapixel sensor paired with a 2x telephoto zoom lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle shooter which will reportedly offer a 120º field of view and support 4K video recording at 30fps.

Apple is also said to be planning an improved stereo recording system for videos that's made possible by an array of upgraded microphones. An updated Portrait Mode which uses data from all three cameras and Siri AI enhancements inside the camera app should make the cut too. The latter is expected to enable improved scene detection for better color reproduction.

The cheaper iPhone 11 won't feature a triple-camera setup on the rear but it's expected to include the iPhone 11 Pro's main snapper and telephoto alternative. The upgraded 10-megapixel selfie sensor reportedly coming to the premium models should be present on the iPhone XR's successor too. Lastly, all three models look set to boast upgraded Face ID systems that'll be just as fast as Apple's second-generation Touch ID and capable of detecting faces at wider angles and shorter distances.

While the iPhone will undoubtedly be the main focus of Apple's next event, that's not the only thing the company has up its sleeves. In fact, the Cupertino giant is apparently preparing updates to both its Apple Watch and iPad lines.

Set to replace the popular Apple Watch Series 4, the Apple Watch Series 5 is expected to bring minimal external changes paired with new titanium and ceramic casing options. An upgraded processor is a likely addition too, although the main focus looks set to be the watchOS 6 software. The latter introduces an independent App Store for the Apple Watch and a range of apps like Calculator, Voice Memos, and Audiobooks that'll run directly from the device. Improvements to battery life alongside new watch faces and a 'Trends' feature that'll show users their fitness data over a longer period of time are also part of the update.
