What to expect at Apple’s September 2016 event: iPhone 7 and more
Apple typically unveils a new iPhone in September.
With its next iPhone event just around the corner, we at Pocket-lint thought we'd round up all the rumours and information about what Apple might announce during its keynote. While a new iPhone running iOS 10 is a given, there are remaining questions about how many iPhone models are in store and whether the company plans to introduce a new MacBook Pro, etc.
Here's everything we know about Apple's September 2016 event.
Apple's September 2016 event: When is it?
Apple will reportedly unveil its next iPhone on 7 September, Bloomberg reported. That lines up with the timing of Apple's previous iPhone events, as the iPhone 6S debuted on 9 September last year. Well-known leakster Evan Blass also claimed pre-orders for the next iPhone will open 8 September, and that they would go on sale on 16 September, all of which fits 7 September.
If Apple does have an event that day, it'll also be the final day of IFA 2016 in Berlin, and it'll also have to compete with Sony's PlayStation event, where we expect to hear more about the souped up PS4K/Neo console.

iPhone 7
Apple launched the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus in September 2015, followed by the smaller iPhone SE in March 2016. In fact, every year, normally in September, a new iPhone is released, and every year the new device is speculated upon and leaked months and months in advance of its actual release. This feature rounds up all the leaks and rumours surrounding the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus:
Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus: Everything you need to know
The iPhone 7 will drop the headphone jack, include a new home button with haptic feedback, and look lot like the 6S. You'll have to wait until next year for a completely redesigned iPhone. There has also been talk of an iPhone 7 Pro that will apparently sit above these two devices. It's thought to have better photo-taking capabilities - like a dual-camera setup - and more, which we have rounded up in this feature:

iOS 10
Apple always debuts a new iPhone running the latest, major version of its iOS mobile operating system, and this year will likely be no different. The company already previewed iOS 10 at its Worldwide Developer Conference earlier this year, and since then, it's released several beta builds to both developers and the public, giving us a good idea of what to expect from the final software.
The new iOS will sport a number of new features designed to enhance your iPhone even more beyond what the company launched in iOS 9 last year. Claiming to be the biggest update yet, there will be at least 10 major features, including a HomeKit Home app as well as changes to Siri, the lock screen, and photos. You can read all about these features and more in this round-up feature:

iPad Pro
Last year, Apple combined what would normally be two events into one giant event, where it announced the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus alongside the 12.9-inch iPad Pro on one day (a 9.7-inch version was unveiled months later). Apple may choose to do that again and announce new iPad models during the same event - maybe even a second-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
However, according to noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will refresh its iPad lineup in 2017, with three new iPads ranging from 9.7 inches to 12.9 inches. According to Kuo, Apple plans to introduce a new 10.5-inch iPad Pro model next year to go along with a 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 and a "low-cost" 9.7-inch iPad model. If this is the case, Apple will keep its September event focused on iPhone.

MacBook Pro
Everyone thought Apple was going to update its MacBook Pro line at WWDC 2016, but now the world is expecting refreshed models to come out this autumn instead. Keep in mind there are two sizes of MacBook Pro: a 13-inch model that was last updated in March 2015, and a 15-inch model that was last updated in May 2015. So, nobody can imagine Apple going two full years without rolling out MacBook Pro models.
Rumours suggest new ones are on the way. What's more, the upcoming laptops won't simply have faster processors and thinner bodies, which we all pretty much expect. They are also heavily tipped to feature an OLED touch panel and a Touch ID sensor embedded in their keyboards. This feature rounds up all the leaks and rumours surrounding the new MacBook Pro:

However, Bloomberg reported in August that the new computer will be a no-show at Apple's 7 September event.
Apple's September 2016 event: Is that it?
It looks like it. That being said, a second-generation Apple Watch is expected to debut sometime in 2016, likely late in the year. Nearly 17 months after the Apple Watch launched in the US and eight other countries, there have been no rumours to suggest a new version will debut at Apple's 7 September event. But here's Pocket-lint's rumour round-up on the upcoming watch anyway:
