It's almost time for another of Apple's legendary launch events, here's how to make sure you don't miss a thing.
Dubbed 'Glowtime', Apple is kicking off it's next event this Monday (9 September) where we're expecting to see the latest iPhone lineup as well as an official launch date for the full rollout of iOS 18.
Back in June the tech giant held it's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) where we got the scoop on their plans for this year. In amongst announcements about the Vision Pro, we also got updates on the highly anticipated iOS 18 which is set to completely change how we use our iPhones by incorporating AI.
