On 10 September, Apple will unveil the latest version of its iPhone. The release date is the most recent, and probably one of the most accurate, rumors that precede this Apple release.

The new iPhone will run iOS 7, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, which includes new typography, redesigned icons and a new color palette.
Apple is also expected to formally launch the next version of Mac OS X, known as Mavericks, in the coming weeks, though that is not expected at the Sept. 10 event.
Separately, Samsung is expected to introduce the next generation Galaxy Note on September, 4. CNN reported that the smartphone will bow in Berlin 2 days before the opening of the IFA technology conference.
The speculation swirling around the next iPhone, but that doesn't mean all of them turn out to be accurate.

- The new phone will likely be the iPhone 5S and keep the same design as the current iPhone 5. The iPhone 4 was followed by the 4S, which maintained the same form.
- The company will also roll out a cheaper version of the iPhone, largely for sale in emerging markets. Reuters reported that it will cost $99 and come in five or six different colors. It may or may not be called the iPhone 5C. Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller has tossed cold water on this idea, though Apple is known for misdirection in advance of new product releases.
- Since there will be a cheaper iPhone, Apple will discontinue production of older models.
- There will be at least one larger iPhone model, with a 4.7-inch screen, a 5.7-inch screen, or both to compete with big-screen rivals from Samsung, HTC and other makers.
- The new phone will have a fingerprint scanner for added security and other uses.
- As usual, it will have a faster processor, longer battery life, and an improved camera. Not much of a stretch there -- all of these upgrades are typical of any gadget update.
The company was not immediately available for comment.
