Rumours suggest the new iPhone will ditch the headphone jack
Apple has confirmed its next event will take place on September 7.
The Fall event is typically when Apple unveils a new iPhone and this year it is expected to announce the iPhone 7 alongside a second-generation Apple Watch.
Invitations were sent out by the tech giant to media this morning with the simple tagline: "See you on the 7th."
The event will start at 10am PT and is being held at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. It will also be live streamed on iOS devices and Safari.
A number of photos purporting to be leaked images of the iPhone 7 show the handset looking almost identical to the current iPhone 6S range with a more advanced, potentially dual-lens camera on the rear and no headphone jack.
The lack of a headphone jack has been the most discussed rumour surrounding the next-generation iPhone and has split opinion.
Critics claim Apple will use this to push a new range of wireless, Bluetooth-enabled Beats headphones, while supporters have praised the idea, suggesting it will make the phone thinner or potentially see the internals shifted around to make way for a larger battery.
Beyond the iPhone and Watch, Apple is expected to reveal more about the full release date of its iOS 10 software, a revamped HomeKit and a new line of Mac computers.
