Apple’S Iphone Event Said To Be Happening Sept. 9

[psycopk]

Apple is said to be preparing for a September 9 iPhone event this year, at which we’ll likely see the next generation iPhone devices, according to AllThingsD’s John Paczkowski. The date would be in keeping with past iPhone launches, and early reports suggest we’ll see the company reveal larger-screened iPhone devices on that day. Typically, Apple holds its event and and then release devices to the public a little over a week later after first launching pre-orders.

We’ve heard that Apple will be unveiling at least devices with 4.7-inch screens, and perhaps smartphones with even larger, 5.5-inch displays as well at this event, though it isn’t yet clear that both will launch at the same time. A range of other rumors surround the new devices, including evidence of all-metal designs for both models, as well as the possible introduction of new barometer, temperature and humidity sensors, as well as support for near-field communications (NFC).

We’ve reached out to Apple for confirmation and will update if we receive any additional information.

Apple will announce the next iPhone on September 9, according to John Paczkowski of Re/Code.

Paczkowski has always accurately reported when Apple will hold product launch events, so take this as gospel.

The new iPhone is expected to have a 4.7-inch screen, which is larger than the 4-inch screen on the iPhone 5S. There have also been reports that Apple will announce an even larger model with a 5.5-inch screen.

Most smartphones today have screens larger than four inches. Samsung's Galaxy S5 has a 5.1-inch screen, for example.

Giant "phablets" with screens 5.5 inches or larger are gaining momentum too. Samsung was the first to popularize phablets with the Galaxy Note, which launched in 2012. According to Business Insider Intelligence, phablets are on pace to outsell regular tablets by 2018.
