Breaking: iPhone 6s event date and time just announced



"Hey Siri! Give us a hint."

Apple has just announced its next iPhone event, sending out invitations to the press for an event on September 9th at 1pm EST (10am PST) as expected. Less expected? The venue, San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. That's a new one for Apple.

The company is expected to unveil a new pair of smartphones: the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. Not much is known about what the new devices might offer in the way of upgrades, but it's a good bet that the displays will incorporate Force Touch — technology that allows for force-sensitive touches and has already appeared in Apple's laptops. A dramatic camera upgrade has also been rumored, so we'll be looking for that.

Apple will also almost certainly discuss iOS 9, the release date and new features.  A report from earlier Thursday suggested the new phones will sport 12MP cameras, A9 chips, 4k video recording and more.

We've also seen images of packaging that purportedly belongs to the iPhone 6S Plus from Chinese tech site cnBeta. The image shows an iPhone with what looks to be a Butterfly Koi. It's been suggested that this could be one of a new set of animated wallpapers arriving with the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. This style of "motion wallpapers" have previously been seen on the Apple Watch, with the company said to have photographed one flower 24,000 times to create a single watch face.
