Carriers Told Apple's 'iPhone 8' Press Event is Sept. 12
Apple’s fall event 2017 could be held on Tuesday, Sept. 12, according to French website Mac4Ever. If correct, we can probably expect to see press invitations go out in the coming days.

Last year, Apple held the company’s iPhone 7 event on Sept. 7. A year before, the iPhone 6s was announced on Sept. 9.
Assuming Sept. 12 is the correct date, 2017 iPhone shipments could begin as early as Friday, Sept. 22.
Apple’s expected to announce three new handsets this year, including the 5.8-inch iPhone 8, 4.7-inch “iPhone 7s,” and 5.5-inch “iPhone 7s Plus.” Additionally, the company could use the press event to announce the fifth-generation Apple TV and third-generation Apple Watch.
