This year's iPhone will mark the product's 10th anniversary, and most Apple watchers are expecting the company to make a big deal out of the event. It'll also be the first time Apple will publicly show off its new Apple Park headquarters.
Apple is rumored to be working on three new iPhone models this year, with two expected to be minor updates to the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus. They're thought to look mostly the same as the previous models but with performance improvements.
The iPhone 8 will be the real star. It's said to sport a new design with a screen that covers most of the front, except for a "notch" at the top for the front-facing camera and other sensors.
Numerous leaks suggest it'll look something like this:
