Tech giant Apple has this morning announced an event at its Cupertino headquarters which is expected to be where they reveal the next iPhone.
While Apple doesn't say in their invitation to select media what will be announced, rumours, speculation and a pretty consistent release schedule points to the next iPhone being announced at the Steve Jobs Theatre at 3am on the morning of Wednesday, September 8, here in Australia.
Apple's invitations are also well known to be vague yet indicative, with this year's titled "Far Out", which could point to new camera zoom capabilities or night time photography features with the Apple logo on the invite made out of what could be interpreted as stars or galaxies.

The event is slightly earlier than many recent iPhone announcements, though it's not unusual for Apple to announce in the first week and a half of September.
It's expected the iPhone 14 will be announced, alongside a new Apple Watch but there's no talk of any surprise announcements at this stage.

9News understands from recent access to "dummy" model iPhones from smartphone case manufacturers, that the new iPhone 14 will feature a four-model lineup, this year dropping the smaller "mini" replacing it with an entry level version of the larger "max" phone, likely to be just the "iPhone 14 Max".
Apple's September event will be the first since before the pandemic to be held in the prestigious Steve Jobs Theatre at Apple Park, and 9News will be in attendance as a guest of Apple Australia.
