In the evening it is once again time for Apple launch to Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
As soon as the clock strikes seven will Tim Cook go on stage and probably show us the company’s latest mobile, iPhone 7, in two different variants. Rumor that perhaps they will showcase some new earphones that fit into the new phone, maybe an Apple Watch 2 and maybe even a long-awaited MacBook Pro sequel.
All this is just speculation, and we do not know what Apple has planned before tonight.
