Apple is all geared up for the September 12, Tuesday launch event that will be held in the Steve Jobs Theater at the tech giant’s new Apple Park Cupertino campus in California. Notably, the highly awaited launch event is the first to be held in the Steve Jobs Theater. The special thing about the event is the rumored launch of Apple’s 10th-anniversary special iPhone, dubbed iPhone X or whatever it ends up being called.
According to CNET, some rumors suggest that Apple fans can expect the launch of three iPhone devices at the event including an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and an iPhone X.
The smartphone maker is likely to ditch the iPhone ‘S’ moniker this year. In addition, a 4K Apple TV, Apple Watch Series 3, a new iPod Touch and a final version of iOS 11 are also expected to get announced at the event.

The 10th-anniversary special iPhone X Edition is expected to boast a new design with an edge-to-edge 5.8-inch OLED screen, a high-quality OLED bezel-less display, a face-recognizing infrared camera, wireless charging support, advanced 3D facial recognition sensors for animated emojis called "animojis” and a vertically oriented rear dual camera setup. The upcoming smartphone is rumored to be the most expensive iPhone version ever with a whopping price tag of maybe $1,000 or even more.
