Apple confirms iPhone 8 launch event on September 12

Apple has sent out invites for its annual iPhone event that will happen on September 12, confirming the previous reports.

The event will be the first at the new Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California, the company said. It will take place in a theater named after co-founder Steve Jobs.

Apple is expected to unveil three new iPhones, including the iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus and iPhone 8. The star highlight, undoubtedly would be the the iPhone 8- the 10-year anniversary edition- also expected to be a radical departure from the previous flagships.

Besides a larger and longer OLED display, iPhone 8 could come with a 3-D facial recognition sensor to unlock the phone, improved cameras to better support augmented reality apps, and gesture controls instead of a home button.

Reports also suggest we’ll see an updated Apple Watch, possibly sporting its own built-in LTE connection, as well as a new 4K-capable Apple TV.
