The invite, which has the tagline “Far out,” is for an in-person event at the Steve Jobs Theater on Apple’s Cupertino campus, which would be the company’s first major product launch event to take place in a theater since the beginning. of the pandemic. (Apple hosted an in-person event for this year’s WWDC keynote, but it took place outdoors.) The company will also stream the Sept. 7 event online. Here’s the invitation sent to reporters. Image: Jay Peters / The Verge The iPhone 14 series will likely be the main attraction. Apple is rumored to launch four models: a 6.1-inch iPhone 14; a new 6.7-inch iPhone 14 (possibly labeled “Plus” or “Max”). a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro; and an iPhone 14 Pro Max 6.7. Yes, that means Apple probably won’t be releasing a new Mini phone, much to the dismay of dozens of us in the iPhone Mini fan club. The biggest upgrades could come to the Pro series. Perhaps the biggest change is the rumored axing of the infamous notch in favor of a punch-hole selfie camera and a pill-shaped cutout for Face ID. Apple is also expected to add an always-on display feature that will be exclusive to Pro phones — perhaps allowing you to see iOS 16’s new lock screen widgets even when you click the screen off. And for the first time, Apple may make its next A-series chip a Pro-only option. In terms of cameras, the main camera on the Pro is expected to receive a significant boost to a 48-megapixel sensor, while all four iPhone 14 models are rumored to have an autofocus front-facing camera. The catchy “Far Out” label could tease a few other improvements. Maybe improvements to the telephoto camera on her iPhones? Or the long-rumored satellite connectivity of some sort? Three new Apple Watches may also debut at the event. The Apple Watch Series 8 is rumored to be similar to the Series 7, but adds a body temperature sensor. A revised Apple Watch SE is reportedly in the works with a faster chip but the same body as the current model. And the new high-end watch is reportedly aimed at extreme sports athletes and may have a larger screen and longer battery life. The company is also rumored to be working on new AirPods Pro and iPads, and Apple has already said that a new Mac Pro is also in the pipeline, so there’s always a chance they’ll be revealed at this upcoming event. We’ll be covering everything that comes out of the show, so keep it locked to The Verge.
