What we expect from Apple's September 12 event

As you've probably heard by now, Apple has officially announced an event for September 12, which will undoubtedly give us a sneak peek at many devices and features the company has been working on in the past months and years.

But what exactly should we expect from the anticipated high-profile event next Wednesday? Of course, it's easy to pinpoint a few usual suspects that will most certainly make an appearance, but in the case of Apple, surprises and unexpected announcements are always possible.

Apple iPhone 9, Xs, Xs Max

Needless to say, the obvious star of the show will be Apple's bread and butter, the 2018 iPhone lineup. This year, just like in 2017, Apple is expected to reveal a whole lot of three new iPhones - the iPhone 9, the iPhone Xs, and the iPhone Xs Max, which was previously expected to be called the iPhone Xs Plus.

All three new devices will bear the same general design that was introduced with the iPhone X - a notched screen with close to no bezels, a glass back with metal frame, and a very high screen-to-body ratio. Yes, we expect the good ol' design language introed by iPhone 6/6 Plus back in 2014 to be phased out in favor of a worthy successor.

Here's a rundown of what each device would most likely offer.

iPhone 9

In our understanding, the iPhone 9 will be the cheapest and most affordable new iPhone. It will boast a 6.1-inch LCD display and most certainly the same internals that will make it inside the more expensive models. This means that the Apple A12 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and a single camera only will be making the rounds. Also. we expect the 3D Touch feature, which hardly ever took off, to be unavailable on this budget-conscious model. Face ID will be making an appearance on the iPhone 9, fortunately.

Price will be in the vicinity of $600 - $700.

iPhone Xs

The iPhone Xs will be an improved version of last year's iPhone X heavy-hitter, and as such, will come with the new Apple A12 chipset, 4GB of RAM, a likely improved dual-camera, and the same 5.8-inch OLED display. Oh, and it seems a cool new gold color will be making the rounds. Of course, Face ID will remain a core feature.

Price would be in the vicinity of $800-$900.

iPhone Xs Max (Xs Plus)

Expected to be the iPhone with the largest display ever fitted on an Apple device, the iPhone Xs Max will come with a large 6.5-inch OLED display. Of course, the internals are expected to be the same ones as in the iPhone Xs - Apple A12, 4GB of RAM, and a dual- or even triple-camera. The snazzy gold color will all be making an appearance here, too. Face ID will be part of the feature bag as well.

Price would be in the vicinity of $900-$1,000.
