The phone is likely to be available as a high-end “Pro” large version, a standard sized version and a cheaper LCD version of the iPhone 11.
Apple has made some big changes as to how consumers can watch its live event, including broadcasting it on YouTube for the first time. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Tim Cook’s keynote live:
When is Apple going to announce the iPhone 11?
Apple has sent out invitations for its event which list a start time of 6pm UK time on September 10.
The event will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater, a dedicated venue at its Silicon Valley headquarters in Cupertino, where it has held the last two iPhone launches.
Typical livestreamed Apple announcements last for around two hours and see the company reveal a number of new products.
The invitation is titled “By innovation only” with an accompanying Apple logo that harks back to the company’s old multicolored logo.
iPhone invitations have often held a cryptic message. In this case, the colors are most likely to be the style options for the new line-up.
Apple typically puts new iPhones on sale within two weeks following their launch and rolls out the accompanying software update a few days after showing off the devices. The new iPhones will be key to Apple’s holiday quarter. Last year, the company missed expectations on waning smartphone demand, especially in China.
