Apple event is finally here and Apple CEO Tim Cook will unveil the most anticipated smartphones of the year– Apple iPhone 8 and Apple iPhone 8 Plus in the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Santa Clara Valley in the US on September 12, 2017, at 10 am Pacific Time (10:30 pm). Along with the iPhone 8, the company is also expected to unveil its anniversary edition smartphone– iPhone X, which marks a decade since the former CEO Steve Jobs first unveiled the device back in January 2000.
The three iPhones have been in news ever since the Cupertino-based company released iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus last year. Leaks and gossips about the specifications of the upcoming iPhones by tech insiders and bloggers have kept the iPhone enthusiasts around the world entertained.
