Apple Inc. is set to release its newest smartphone iPhone 8 in what is expected to be the company’s biggest launch in years, as 2017 marks 10 years since the first iPhone was announced by Steve Jobs on 9 January 2007, and released later that year on June 29.
Apple has sent out invitations for an event on September 12 at its newly built headquarters, the so-called "spaceship campus," in Cupertino, California, where it is widely expected to unveil its new iPhone.
The invitation has the tagline "Let's meet at our place" and boasts a colorful picture of the Apple logo.
Along with the iPhone 8, Apple is also expected to announce the Apple Watch 3 and a new version of the Apple TV that can play 4K content.
Also among the rumors, Apple will be working on three versions of its next iPhone, including a 4.7-inch iPhone 7s, a 5.5-inch iPhone 7s Plus and a 5.8-inch iPhone 8.
While the 5.8-inch iPhone 8 sounds like it would be massive, Apple is reportedly working on a new edge-to-edge display technology, so although the screen area would be bigger, the phone itself could actually be smaller than the phone 7s Plus.
