Apple iPhone 8 event: How to watch and what to expect

The big reveal is almost here. Apple CEO Tim Cook is set to take the stage at the Steve Jobs Theater on Sept. 12, where he's expected to reveal a bunch of new hardware including the next iPhone.

The usually secretive company, however, couldn't contain leaks about the forthcoming iPhone this time around. In July, an Apple employee inadvertently uploaded a firmware update for the forthcoming Homepod to a public server. Included in the leak were details about the new hardware, fueling rumors that the company would unveil an iPhone 7S, 7S Plus, and an iPhone 8.
