This is When the iPhone 6S Event is Likely to Take Place

Apple will host its next iPhone reveal event in September, according to a source purportedly familiar with the technology giant's plans.

Speaking to BuzzFeed News, the unverified source stated the event will take place the week of September 7. Although a specific date was not mentioned, the tipster said September 9 is "most likely" as it would be the same as last year's reveal date.

Although Apple has yet to confirm the event, or send out its traditional yearly teases, speculation based on previous release strategies suggest it could host the event to reveal the iPhone 6S. At the same time, some fans have posited the iPhone 6's slim form factor may mean Apple will jump to the next generation of the device.

Rumours circulating about Apple's plan have suggested additions to the next handset could include a pressure-sensitive force touch display, a more power-efficient wireless chip, and improved camera functionality. A new iteration of the iPad is also rumoured to be making an appearance, as is another Apple TV.

On July 15, Apple caught fans by surprise and refreshed its iPod Touch line of devices. Among the list of revisions was a speedier processor, a new camera, and a motion sensor. The changes brought the iPod Touch in line with the iPhone 6 in terms of power.

For fans of iOS gaming, the new iPod Touch's A8 chip improved the iPod's game performance, enabling it to run more intensive games and extend the battery life. The camera, meanwhile, added the option to shoot in slow motion and burst mode .
