We all know that Apple loves to put a spotlight on their new products, and we also know that Apple puts out a new iPhone every year. Invitations to the event were sent out this morning, with Apple simply saying “See you on the 7th”, The Verge says.

We may be labelling it as the iPhone 7 launch, but Apple will definitely drop some other bombs during the press event.
Popular German Apple fan-site Apfelpage predicts that the new launch may just be an incremental upgrade called the “iPhone 6SE” with the actual launch of the iPhone 7 taking place in 2017 instead.
Before the iPhone SE, the compact phone, namely the iPhone 5C, which arrived in colors said to feature a low price tag, however, that didn’t happen too.
According to a report by PhoneRadar, the new duo is expected to come in three variants – 32GB, 128GB and 256GB.
There’s typically an enormous buildup of excitement before the launch of a new iPhone, but things are a bit different this time around.
But that’s not the only thing making waves: Word has it that a new iPad may also be announced alongside the iPhone 7, just like what happened previous year with the iPad Pro and iPad mini 4.
Rumors, leaks and reports regarding the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have been going around for months. However, the filings do not specify as to whether Apple will bundle wireless headphones with the upcoming iPhone 7 handset or sell them separately in its stores. Then there is the possibility of no headphone jack, which means that you got to either go Bluetooth or there might be some way to connect the headphone jack to the charging port. Though that will be a good change and use of space, it will render headphones in the earlier versions of the iPhone, useless. When the defect manifests itself, users will notice reduced responsiveness or no responsiveness when interacting with the touchscreen. The Russian site iPhones.ru discovered a reference to “AirPods” within these new EAEC certificates and with Apple ditching the 3.55 mm headphone jack, we don’t find it surprising.
As is the case with past Apple events, a live stream of the keynote will be viewable on that day.
Another device rumored to be getting an update is the Apple Watch, which must compete with an increasing line of smartwatches and fitness trackers.
