The event, which will occur on Sept 10, will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater on Apple’s campus in Cupertino, California.
Apple is expected to unveil three new iPhone models, as well as updates to other products, according to reports. At last year’s event, the tech giant released the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR.
The event will occur less than a month after Apple received a trade-war break when the U.S. Trade Representative’s office said the tariffs that were set to hit $300 billion, including Apple products, would be delayed from Sept 1. until Dec. 15.
A day later, President Trump dined with Apple CEO Tim Cook to discuss the tariffs. At the meeting, Cook expressed his concerns about how Apple products would be hit with tariffs, but those produced by South Korean rival Samsung would not.
