Apple will unveil its latest products, including the iPhone 15, Apple Watch and AirPods, on Tuesday at its annual September event in Cupertino, California.
The keynote presentation, called “Wonderlust,” will be held on the Apple campus in the Steve Jobs Theater. The event has become an annual fixture on the tech calendar since the debut of the original iPhone in 2007.
One of the most notable changes reportedly to be announced at this year’s presentation is the company’s move from the Lightning charging port to a USB-C port to comply with the European Union’s general charger laws.
The event starts at 1:00 PM ET, or 10:00 AM PT if you’re on the West Coast.

What does the iPhone 15 look like?
iPhone 15 camera
The standard iPhone 15 models will have an improved camera system that allows for greater optical zoom, moving from a 12-megapixel main camera sensor to a 48-megapixel version.
The new camera has the same resolution as the camera on the iPhone 14 Pro.
Price Apple Watch Series 9, ‘double tap’
Apple has announced the latest model for the Apple Watch: the Series 9.
The main upgrade comes from a new processing chip called the S9-Sip, which the company says will be faster than the chip introduced in 2020.
The Series 9 will look the same as previous models, but will have updated colors including pink, starlight and silver.
The Series 9 also gets a new feature called ‘double tap’. This feature allows users to answer the phone by tapping their fingers together.
The watch retails for $399. The watch will go on sale on September 22.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 price
Just like the Series 9, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will also have the ‘double tap’ function and the S9-Sip.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has a 36-hour battery life and costs $799.
