Yesterday, Apple announced their next event, taglined "Hey Siri, give us a hint.", will be held on September 9th, exactly 1 year since the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and Apple Watch were announced.
The event will take place at the Bill Graham auditorium in San Francisco, California, the same facility we reported yesterday Apple allegedly reserved. The event will begin at 10 AM PT, which is 1 PM ET. The tech giant is set to debut the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus along with a much-anticipated Apple TV refresh. Users can stream the event for free online using Safari on both iOS and Mac. And for the first time ever, PC users can also stream it. But there's one catch: you have to be on Microsoft Edge, which is currently only available on Windows 10. Well, now you have another reason to upgrade. Huh.
But hold on. Let's talk about the elephant in the room right now. What the heck does the "Hey Siri..." tagline mean?

Apple has been rumored to include touch input in the new remote for the next generation Apple TV along with an iOS-based OS, it's own dedicated App Store, and Siri voice control. Considering the WWDC
2015 invitation appeared to feature the profile of an Apple TV but never made it to the event, we can expect to see the multimedia streaming set top box announced at the next keynote. And also considering Siri integration is highly rumored, it's likely that the tagline "Hey Siri, give us a hint." is referring to the voice assistant's presence on the 4th generation Apple TV. And if you pay attention to the invitation picture, it appears that the colors coming off the Apple logo resemble the redesigned interface of Siri found on the Apple Watch and in iOS 9.

Now that that's out of the way, let's turn our attention to the star of the show: the iPhone 6S. There have been lots of rumors about the next chapter in the iPhone's story, and with all the rumors and leaks released on the internet, we've got a pretty good idea of what the new iPhone will feature. Here's a run down of the probable new features of Apple's newest flagship:

So obviously with every "S" generation of iPhone, there isn't any major hardware changes. Instead, it's mainly improvements to the already great previous generation, which, in this case, is the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus is expected to launch alongside the new Apple TV.
The iPad Pro is probably going to be held off until further notice, due to rumors suggesting Apple will enter production for their 12.9 inch tablet in either September or October, so don't expect to see it at this year's iPhone event. |
