   Apple Special Event Scheduled for 12 September 2017

   Adam C. Engst

   It's that time of year again, when Apple pulls back the curtain on its
   latest releases in a keynote presentation. This year's [1]Apple Special
   Event will be the first held in the new Steve Jobs Theater at Apple's
   new corporate campus, not that the location has any real bearing for
   all of us who prefer to watch the webcast. The event will start at 10
   AM PDT, and you can watch it on any Mac or iOS device in Safari, or on
   an Apple TV. If you're stuck on a Windows machine at work, Apple says
   Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 will also work.

   We anticipate that Apple will announce at least one new iPhone model,
   if not more, and the company may also say more about the HomePod, which
   Apple promised for December 2017, and possibly the Apple TV, which is
   due for a hardware refresh. An Apple Watch with its own cellular
   connection has also been rumored. Operating system updates ' macOS
   10.13 High Sierra, iOS 11, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11 ' will also
   undoubtedly be featured as well, and it's likely that at least iOS 11
   and watchOS 4 will ship soon after. Historically, Apple has shipped
   macOS updates anywhere from a few weeks to a month later.

   We'll be chatting with TidBITS readers during the keynote in our
   [3]SlackBITS group. To join the team, go to [4]slackbits.herokuapp.com,
   enter your email address, and agree to the [5]code of conduct. You'll
   receive a Slack invitation in email right away.
