Update from 6:17 p.m.
- Before the presentation of the iPhone, the Californians are likely to unpack more hardware. In the past few weeks there have been persistent rumors that Apple could revise the popular AirPods and shorten the two stubs on the ears a little. In addition, the Apple Watch is reportedly the biggest design change since its premiere in 2015. Allegedly, the Californians could give the computer watch a flatter screen and angular edges. Other devices such as the iPhone or iPad have already made this design change behind them.
Update from 6:06 p.m.
- Ok, just under an hour until the keynote. What might Tim Cook have in his luggage tonight? The next generation of the iPhone is probably set. It is not entirely clear whether Apple will launch its flagship iPhone 13. After all, 13 is considered an unlucky number in many cultures. In terms of optics, there will probably not be too much change compared to the previous model. However, the recess for cameras and sensors for face recognition at the top of the screen could possibly be smaller. The top model iPhone Pro could for the first time also come in a version with a terabyte of storage capacity, the well-known industry analyst Ming-Chi-Kuo expects.
Update from 5.15 p.m.

First report from 2:32 p.m.
- Apple * fans are waiting for this day all year round, now it is here: On Tuesday, September 14th, the tech giant from Cupertino will most likely present its new iPhone *.
It starts at 7 p.m. German time, then it's “California Streaming”.
As with all Apple keynotes since Corona, the iPhone presentation will again be a purely virtual event.
Apple is streaming the “livestream”, which was actually recorded in advance, via its website and YouTube.
We report in the live ticker when Tim Cook * presents the iPhone 13 - or XIII, maybe 12s - to the world.
The Apple boss could have some other surprises in the quiver *.
Apple keynote in the live ticker: What the iPhone 13 can - and what not
Although the final product name of the new iPhone has not yet been determined, some details about the successor to the iPhone 12 have already been leaked.
It will probably appear in the currently available model variants (iPhone, iPhone Pro, iPhone Pro Max and iPhone mini) and look very reminiscent of its predecessor.
According to various insiders, new features include a more powerful chip, a better display, longer battery life and new camera functions.
New colors and a 1TB option are also likely.
The price should remain unaffected and not rise.
iPhone event on September 14th: Apple Watch and AirPods are also expected
In addition to the iPhone 13, experts also expect the seventh generation of the Apple Watch to be presented at Apple's September keynote.
She is said to have gotten a bigger, better and flatter display, plus lots of new bracelets.
Insiders also consider the presentation of the third generation of AirPods to be likely.
It is expected that Apple will optically lean the AirPods 3 similar to the AirPods Pro, but will continue to dispense with active noise suppression.
Apple Keynote: What about the iPad and MacBook Pro?
Another device may even celebrate its premiere on September 14th: a new entry-level version of the iPad. This is at least indicated by the availability of the current model. Since the announcement of the Apple Keynote, the most affordable 10.2-inch iPad version is suddenly available in the USA and some European countries in three to six weeks at the earliest. Apple also has new MacBooks in the Pro version in the autumn pipeline. But they will probably be presented at a second of up to three Apple events this fall.
