Today, September 12, 2017, Apple has invited the media to a press event where a new iPhone model will be unveiled, along with the final releases of the iOS 11, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11 operating systems.

We expect Apple to unveil the 10th anniversary iPhone model, which could feature wireless charging capabilities, a bigger screen, facial scanning technologies, an all-new and powerful processor, updated camera, and much more. But we could also witness the launch of Apple Watch Series 3 or a new 4K-capable Apple TV.

The new iPhone model is launching with the iOS 11 operating system, which brings a fresh look and cool new features, but you'll also be able to install the iOS 11 update on your device, if it's supported, after the keynote is over. Apple Watch users will also be able to update to watchOS 4, and Mac users to macOS 10.13 High Sierra.
