After whispers circulated a few weeks ago, pointing to September 12 as the anticipated date for Apple's upcoming unveiling extravaganza, the tech giant itself has now confirmed the news.

Mark your calendars, as the big reveal for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max (possibly even named the iPhone 15 Ultra) is all set for September 12 at 10 AM PT. As per tradition, you can catch the event's live stream on apple.com and the Apple TV app.

The chosen tagline for this occasion, "Wonderlust," plays on the term "wanderlust," often used to describe a strong longing for travel. In Apple's world, it might well signify a strong desire to be amazed. The element of curiosity certainly seems to be part of Apple's strategy.

All four fresh iPhones will come equipped with USB-C ports, a nod to the recent EU directive. Interestingly, rumors suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro Max / Ultra might introduce a groundbreaking periscope zoom camera – a first for any Apple device. Both Pro models are rumored to flaunt titanium frames, a shift from the traditional stainless steel. Across the series, the mute switch is being replaced with a versatile "Action button," and the Dynamic Island feature will grace them all.

Apple could also seize the moment to rejuvenate its AirPods lineup with the addition of USB-C ports. And, watch out for the spotlight on the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 – they're anticipated to take center stage in the event as well.
