Apple’s iPhone 15 event is set for Sept.12

Apple has set a date for its annual September event, during which we’ll undoubtedly learn all about the iPhone 15 lineup and new versions of other devices. The event will held at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California on Sept. 12. The tagline for the event reads “Wonderlust.” 

The launch event will be streamed on Apple’s website at 1 p.m. ET. (7 p.m. CAT) Apple has used pre-recorded videos to launch its iPhones since 2020.

Almost as soon as last year’s event ended, rumors started flying around about what Apple had in store for the iPhone 15 lineup. All models (save for perhaps a new SE) could ditch the notch and start using the Dynamic Island cutout that debuted in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

You may need to opt for an iPhone 15 Pro if you want WiFi 6E connectivity rather than WiFi 6, however. Reports suggest the 15 Pro and Pro Max will have thinner bezels and a titanium frame as well, but we may have to wait until next year to see the rumored iPhone Ultra.

Most intriguingly of all, Apple may finally start to phase out the Lightning port with the iPhone 15 lineup and make the long-awaited switch to USB-C. The company doesn’t have much of a choice there, since all tablets and smartphones sold in the European Union will need to use that charging port starting next year. It’ll be more straightforward for Apple to use the same connector for all new devices, rather than trying to cling onto the Lightning port in other markets.

In any case, we won’t have to wait much longer to find out all about this year’s new iPhones. It’s likely that we’ll learn about what’s next for Apple Watch too. And there’s always a chance that Apple has a “one more thing” surprise up its sleeve too.
