Apple is gearing up to unveil a whole new line-up of iPhones. The company is expected to launch three new smartphones building on last year's iPhone X launch with Face ID scanning technology. The mega event is scheduled to take place at the Steve Jobs Theatre on Apple Park premises. What should be noted here is that this is the first-ever event to take place at the theatre.
The keynote event is scheduled to begin at 10:30pm IST in California.
The Cupertino-based tech giant is widely anticipated to unveil the 2018 iPhone line-up which will be called the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xs Plus. What may also come along is the Apple Watch Series 4, iPad Pros with Face ID, AirPods 2, and MacBook Air 2.
Here's how to watch the livestream:

5 Things To Expect At The Apple Event
1/6
Cupertino-based tech giant, Apple's mega September event is here and we are expecting to hear a lot about the company's most-loved product, the iPhone. It is expected to come with a radical redesign in the form of last year's iPhone X.
However, Apple is not just about the iPhone, there is an entire ecosystem of products, ranging from the Apple Watch, iPad, other accessories and services.
Therefore, expect plenty of news about the Apple Watch, AirPods, and maybe the AirPower charging pad.
That's in addition to all the new software that was announced at WWDC earlier this year.

An updated version of the iPhone XS, with the same notched, bezel-less, 5.8-inch screen, but with improved internal specs.
Along with the XS, a larger, 6.5-inch version on the lines of the Plus models is also expected. This would mean a bigger screen and larger battery, and it may come with the XS Max moniker instead of the XS Plus.
Both the phones will feature OLED displays, stainless steel frames, and the often-copied Face ID notch, a new A12 processor and more RAM.
A cheaper, 6.1-inch LCD iPhone that would offer the bezel-less display and Face ID of the X and XS phones at a lower price point, replacing the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus as Apple's new "entry" model.

Apple will be offering a bigger display on the watch for an edge-to-edge design, along with a slimmer size than the previous versions.
It might also feature an integrated EKG that would help establish the health of the wearer's heart and identify cardiac issues early. Leaked images show more complications on the face than ever before.
The Series 4 is also expected to offer an LTE model as well, similar to last year's Series 3, although with a subtler red ring on the digital crown to denote the cellular status.
The new Apple Watch will almost certainly come with watchOS 5, announced at WWDC 2018 which adds automatic workout detection, a walkie-talkie mode, and better notifications.

The AirPower charging pad which was shown to be able to wirelessly charge up to 3 at a time may get an update at this year's event.
Apple is also rumoured to have a new version of its AirPods wireless headphones set for this year, featuring a new wireless chip, support for hands-free Siri activation, and a case that would support wireless charging (to go along with the AirPower pad).
Reports were also doing the round that Apple was working on a non-Beats branded pair of over-ear noise-cancelling headphones. And on the more minor side of things, Apple is expected to finally replace the 5W USB charger that has come included with all of its phones with a more powerful 19W USB-C brick that can fast-charge newer iPhones, along with a USB-C to Lightning cable to go with it.

We are likely get some final release dates for iOS 12, watchOS 5, tvOS, and maybe even macOS Mojave.
We're not expecting too much to have changed with the software since WWDC - Apple has spent all summer tinkering and polishing things with a deluge of both developer and public betas, so we're mostly just looking to find out when the updates will be making their way to the masses. iOS 12, much like the new iPhones, isn't looking to be a particularly flashy update in terms of features this year - instead focusing on fine-tuning performance, especially on older iPhones and iPads.
But there are some new features: Screen Time, for tracking your time spent on your phone, better notifications (finally), and some fun new custom emoji called "Memoji".
Apple is also updating its augmented reality ARKit framework to the new ARKit 2, which offers the ability to create shared AR experiences.
