The\u00a0star of the show is set to be the iPhone X, a premium version of Apple\u2019s flagship device, which\u00a0will feature an all-screen display,\u00a0facial recognition software\u00a0and\u00a0wireless charging.\u00a0Apple is rumoured to have priced the\u00a0high-end iPhone X at a record \u00a31,000.<\/p>\n

The event will start at 10am Pacific time (6pm UK time) and the Telegraph will be following the latest updates as they happen.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s annual launch event will start at 6pm UK time in the\u00a0Steve Jobs Theater at its new campus in Cupertino, California.\u00a0Telegraph Technology editor\u00a0James Titcomb\u00a0is on site to bring us insight as the evening progresses.<\/p>\n

What features will the iPhone X have?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A\u00a0major leak from Apple over the weekend revealed key features of the\u00a0iPhone X, including a\u00a05.8-inch screen\u00a0that almost fills the front of the device. To make way for the display, Apple is rumoured to have removed the home button and Touch ID. These will be replaced with\u00a0face-scanning technology\u00a0that can identify owners and unlock when they look at it, according to leaks.<\/p>\n

The iPhone X is anticipated to be Apple\u2019s first phone that\u00a0supports wireless charging.<\/p>\n

In addition to the iPhone X, Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. There are few details available about the devices, which are likely to be upgraded versions of the current offering.<\/p>\n

Rumours have suggested Cook will also unveil a 4K Apple TV, third generation of the Apple Watch that works independently from the iPhone, and an update for its AirPod wireless headphones. And he could provide additional details about the\u00a0HomePod smart speaker, due for release in December, and\u00a0iOS 11, due for release in the days after the event.<\/p>\n
