Watch this: Apple set to launch the next iPhone on September 12

The next iPhone (or, iPhones). A new Apple Watch. Siri. Lots and lots of augmented reality. These are just a few of things we're expecting from Apple this year, and now the date is official: Tuesday, September 12.

This year, Apple's big reveal is at a new location: the 1,000-people Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, the company's brand-new "spaceship" headquarters in Cupertino, California. Expect it to be as much of a presence at the event as Tim Cook and the new iPhones.

We'll be there. In the meantime, we'll be writing a lot about it.

Apple's bound to talk more about ARKit on iOS 11. The iPhone 8 , with an expected design overhaul and interface changes, should be the spotlight, but Apple's expected to also release two iPhone 7S models, an LTE-equipped Apple Watch and announce 4K-ready Apple TVs. Plus... could there be new AirPods , or more HomePod news? We won't know until Sept. 12.
