Apple Expected to Show New iPhone at Event Next Week

Apple is also tipped to have a second-generation Watch up its sleeve, but it isn’t yet known if the new wearable will be revealed on 7 September or at its own event later in the year. If you would like to discuss another topic, look for a relevant article. According to that schedule, Apple should be offering a significant update to the iPhone this year, and call it the “iPhone 7”.

The company, which sent out invitations to members of the press on Monday, is expected to unveil the rumored iPhone 7. Other than the event date details, this information is not confirmed, but you should still put it in your calendar.

While the invites are quite plain – as always, bare of any subtle hints or clues the company likes to tease normally, most people would agree that this is the much awaited Apple iPhone (7?) launch event.

Apple has started sending out media invites to select media. Moreover, Yuanta Investment Consulting analyst Jeff Pu claims that 10 million fewer iPhone 7 units will be manufactured this year.

As for the Apple Watch 2, the anticipated refresh will mark the first update since the current model was unveiled two years ago and released a year and a half ago.

Apple’s upcoming smartphone, or should we say smartphones, are finally coming this September. This lines up with a traditional Apple timeframe. Echoing previous rumors and speculations, a new report from Bloomberg suggests that the iPhone 8 will discontinue the mechanical home button that has been an Apple brand image staple until now. That’s at night on the Thursday after the announcement. Stay tuned to MBEDDED for the latest!

The iPhone 7 might disappoint those waiting for radical changes.

This is when to plan for the iPhone 7 release date. We also believe Apple will introduce a capacitive home button to make the body water-resistant. Not every carrier will sell an iPhone 7 unlocked from day one, and some may push a contract even if the iPhone 7 works on multiple carriers without an issue. Apple will, therefore, have to come up with alternatives for placing those features.

A complaint [PDF] filed in the Northern California US District Court accuses Apple of violating both California state and US federal laws for selling and refusing to fix out-of-warranty handsets afflicted with an issue that causes the iPhone’s touchscreen to become unresponsive or fail completely. While iOS 11 is likely to arrive in September, we’re sure to see a beta version for the software far earlier.
