Apple is expected to unveil new iPhones at an event next Wednesday, and likely also new iPads and an updated Apple TV.
Press invites for a September 9 event at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium dropped late last month bearing the usual teasing hint - this time focused on Apple's voice assistant Siri.
September is the month Apple traditionally refreshes its handsets so new iPhones are a dead cert. Here's a quick round-up of the tweaks Apple watchers are expecting this time around ...
iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus
Apple finally introduced a phablet-sized iPhone at its event last year, the 6 Plus, expanding its handset portfolio to address the rampant screen size inflation of rival phones running the Android OS. Given how long it took Apple to make that move, it's unlikely to radically rethink its handset line-up for a while - so a refreshed iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are expected, likely following Apple's typical naming convention of adding an 'S' after the model name.
But what of the 4-inch iPhone 5C? 9to5mac reckons Apple will be discontinuing the plastic-clad not-actually-that-budget handset after its latest portfolio refresh, with no immediate replacement - although there are ongoing rumors it's working on a new 4-inch iPhone to fill the gap. Most Apple watchers are only expecting two new iPhones this fall.
