Last night, Apple announced that it would be hosting a special event next month on September 7 called “Far Out” at the Steve Jobs Theater at the company’s Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California.
The event is going to focus on the new iPhone 14 models, where a 6.1 inch iPhone 14, a 6.7 inch iPhone Max are expected to be unveiled along with their Pro and Pro Max models with the same dimensions.
This will be the first time that the standard iPhone line will come with a 6.7 inch screen option.
While the destination may be too far out for people in the Middle East to travel to on a whim, fortunately the whole world can tune in to an official live stream of the event.

Apple design cycle
Apple products are known for having a three year design lifespan, with the first year showcasing the all new look, the second year featuring new features inside the iPhone and being that this is the third year of the current cycle, the upcoming models are expected to have all new design changes.
Outfitted with an A16 chip, the iPhone 14 Pro models are supposed to be getting a pill-shaped cutout and hole punch cutout that will replace the notch along with a 48 megapixel camera as well as additional improvements.
The standard iPhone 14 models will still use the A15 chip but will likely come in new colours, an improved Ultra Wide lens, WiFi 6E and faster 5G.
Apple Watch, iPad and more
Aside from new iPhones, Apple will be releasing an Apple Watch Pro which is expected to boast a new larger design as well as a more sturdy display and build. The product was designed with athletes in mind who’s watches suffer more wear and tear due to gym sweat e.t.c
The tech giants are also working on a new Apple Watch Series 8 which is rumoured to feature longer battery life, an updated low power mode, temperature detection and other features such as car crash detection.
A next generation AirPods Pro, iPad, MacBook Pro and more are also in development and information on these will likely be discussed at a future event.
