Right, it’s nearly time – we’re here, in the auditorium, with Lance Ulanoff and me, Gareth Beavis, bringing you all the information as it happens.
If you’ve been with us since the early hours, the build up is now over and it’s time to see what Apple’s going to show off.
We’re pretty certain it’s going to be the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Plus (not the Max, it seems) and the iPhone 14 Pro.
On top of that, let’s get ready for multiple Apple Watches, a new set of AirPods and multiple other devices… stick with us for all the news as it happens, and answering all your questions from Twitter if you ping us over on @techradar… go do it!

OK, so we’re ten minutes from the launch, I’ve been outside in the sweltering heat for too long and am starting to crisp… but this is one of the big, tentpole moments of the year – being in the Steve Jobs Theater to see new iPhones being launched.
And this is more special as it’s been three years since the last one of these – man, I’m going to enjoy it.
Or weep at the speed of having to type. Lance is just next to me taking pictures and having a lovely time… I hope he starts doing something useful in a moment.

Ok, he’s already given me some good info – Lance has been checking out the crowd and has ‘spotted nobody interesting yet’. Not sure who he’s loking for to be honest, but he’s looking hard.
He did just run into Phil Schiller, so that’s nice.
The lights just dimmed, and we were told to prepare for the event to start. We’re both near a restroom, but there’s zero chance of us doing that. Game time. Here come Tim!
We’ve just been told: “hope you enjoy the film…” does that mean this is going to be a pre-record?

Looks that way – Tim is now on the video, telling us that we’re going to be seeing new iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watch, and how the headphones connect the two.
This is showing that three devices are becoming more of a simple situation where you need to do things like setting destination on their Watch and pick it up on the go.
I’ve never seen Apple so clear about what a launch is going to be about – and ‘this is something that only Apple can do.’
