“Apple is poised to announce three new iPhones and possibly much more at its fall press event, starting at 10 a.m. Pacific time (1 p.m. Eastern) on Sept. 12,” Roger Fingas reports for AppleInsider. “There are a multitude of ways to watch this year, including Twitter.”

“To watch through Twitter, people should tap or click the heart (like) button for this tweet, which is also embedded below,” Fingas reports. “Apple will then send out updates on the 12th, including instructions on how to watch.”

“Otherwise, the easiest way for most people to watch will be via Apple’s event page. A video stream should appear shortly before the event starts,” Fingas reports. “If you have a second-generation Apple TV or later, you should be able to watch through the ‘Events’ app.”

  1. The iPhone is certainly the best phone ever made and one of the greatest genius inventions of all time thanks to Steve, as well as, Apple’s trillion cash cow. This happens every year at this time and this year looks like more incremental improvements, sorry yawn. What has not happened in five years can be summed up in two words: Mac Pro …

    2. “This happens every year at this time and this year looks like more incremental improvements, sorry yawn.”

      That’s the weirdest complaint imaginable.

      Last year we had a radical new bezel free design with a 5.8″ screen. Apple’s largest screen ever. Not a yawn by any stretch of the imagination.

      This year, just one year later we’re getting the XS Max, with a 6.5 inch screen. By far the biggest screen apple’s ever made, in a form factor no bigger than former plus models.

      Also exiting this year is a brand new form factor for lower tier phones, a first in apple’s history.

      If you’re yawning and calling this incremental you’re in a very, very small group.

        Not talking about last year and yes, it was great.

        “This year, just one year later we’re getting the XS Max, with a 6.5 inch screen.”

        Bout time! How many years are they behind Samsung and others making larger phones — three, four or more?

        “Also exiting this year is a brand new form factor for lower tier phones, a first in apple’s history”

        “Exiting?” Not sure what you are referring to. I love my SE and hope they upgrade it.

        I find the new rumored iPhones to be a yawn since Apple is playing catch up in some ways and incremental improvement, storage, camera, chips all the usual suspects and nothing wrong with that. Could not care less about the size of the group.

        Far more interested in the other products …

        1. I think he meant exciting, not exiting.

          I’ve never cared for the giant phones myself, but lots of people do, and it’s important that Apple finally snapped out of their trance and started making them. Steve Jobs was a form-factor idealist to the very end, and that’s why it took the company so long to catch up in that market segment. But from then on everything they made was upsize, and they lost me. I always had trouble pocketing my iPhone 6s in my Levi’s. When they resurrected the smaller size phone – the SE – I was tempted to get it but I am not one of those fashionistas that simply must have the latest bling at all times. To me it is cooler to rock a retro model, dressed in a new case. I still have the 6s but now it rides on my hip in a Gucci calfskin holster clipped to a belt loop. BTW I haven’t yet lost an Airpod even at a trot.
