The severe floods in central China also hit three Foxconn power plants in the city of Zhengzhou in Henan province - responsible for the production of about half of the iPhones, and the world's largest production center for Apple phones.

The water that penetrated the factories caused power outages and damage to production.

Foxconn has announced that it has implemented emergency procedures for flood cases, but no direct damage has been done to factories as a result of the floods.

While this flood is never fun, the timing is unsuccessful for Apple - it's a time of year when masses of new models are usually announced around September, with production usually going into high gear at this time of year, beginning in July.

Ives did not provide an exact date, but Apple usually holds its announcement events on Tuesday, which means it may take place on September 14th.

According to previous publications on the network, we are not expected to see far-reaching changes, except for one significant thing - the small of the gap, which has been at the top of the company's devices since the iPhone X, released in September 2017, alongside the iPhone 8.

Also, according to a report by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the next generation of Apple's flagship device will come with an Always-On display, which will allow you to view alerts and time without activating the screen.

This is a technology that has been around in the Apple Watch, the company's smartwatches, and even in many Android devices for several years.

With the Always-On view you can be updated on time or alerts, without tapping the screen.

To maintain a long battery life, the screen goes into low brightness mode until you "wake it up".
