Apple Inc will likely unveil a new line of iPhones, Watch Series 8 and other products on Wednesday at an event awaited by Wall Street and its legions of customers.
The event, "Far Out", will begin at 1700 GMT at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California.
It is the company's first indoor event since the pandemic.
Based on reports, here are some of the expected announcements:
iPhone 14:
Apple usually launches new iPhones at the September event.

The latest device is expected to include updates to the camera, storage and design, as well as satellite network connectivity.
The "mini" version of the iPhone may be discontinued, according to reports.
Pricing and bundling options for Apple's flagship product will be watched closely as decades-high inflation batters demand for all, but the most premium smartphones.
"Apple could choose to increase the price of the Pro models and leave the lower end models unchanged," BofA Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan said.
Satellite network connectivity:
Satellite network connectivity was one of the test features for iPhone 14 before mass production, said TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, known for his accurate predictions related to Apple's product launches.
The possible feature would allow users to send emergency text messages in situations where they are without a network.
