APPLE is preparing to host a major event in days: Wonderlust.
The event will take place at the company's Cupertino, California HQ and will likely reveal the new iPhone 15.
Apple September 12 event – how to watch
Apple's Wonderlust event is scheduled to take place on September 12, 2023.
Proceedings will begin with a keynote at 10am local time in California.
That's 1pm for New Yorkers and 6pm for Londoners.

The event is likely to last somewhere between 45 minutes and two hours, based on previous Apple showcases.
It's likely to mix an element of video and on-stage speeches.
Apple hasn't explicitly said that the iPhone 15 will appear at the event, but it looks almost certain.
The world's tech media will be attendance, so expect hands-on photos and videos of new Apple gear shortly after the event is over.
You'll be able to livestream the event for free on Apple's website.
Apple September 12 event news and leaks – what to expect
The main event will almost certainly be the iPhone 15.
Expect it in four key variants: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Typically we'd expect the iPhone 15 models to become available for pre-order on Friday, September 15.
And the official release date would likely fall on Friday, September 22.
But a recent rumour suggested that the iPhone 15 Pro Max could actually go on sale in October due to supply issues.

We're expecting several upgrades for the iPhone 15.
For instance, the handsets are almost certainly going to be fitted with USB-C ports instead of Lightning ports.
That will bring the iPhone in line with other Apple gadgets like the iPad and MacBook.
We're also expecting to see the floating Dynamic Island featuring on all models – not just the Pro ones.
Recently, 9to5Mac claimed that an unnamed source had revealed the new iPhone 15 colours.
They included black, green, blue, yellow, and pink for the iPhone 15.
And for the iPhone 15 Pro, we're expecting space black, silver, blue, and grey.
Other likely gadgets to look out for include:
- Apple Watch Series 9
- Apple Watch Ultra 2
- New iPad
- New AirPods
But Apple won't confirm any of these new gadgets until the official event.
It's also possible that we hear more about the upcoming Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headset after its June unveiling.
