August 29, 2016 update: Apple has made it official: something's happening on September 7 -- and it's most likely the debut of the iPhone 7 (and the Apple Watch 2).
As was rumored for the past few weeks, the company will indeed be hosting an event on the first Wednesday in September; we now know it's scheduled for 10 a.m. PT and going down at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. This puts us on track for a likely retail release on September 16 or 23.
Here's a quick rundown of what to expect from Apple at that September 7 event. As a reminder, these range from official reports from anonymous sources to flat-out rumors and educated guesses:
New 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone models, presumably called the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, respectively.
Very similar physical designs to the existing iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. (A radically redesigned iPhone with no home button is said to be coming in 2017.)
A larger, improved camera on the iPhone 7, plus a dual-camera system exclusive to the larger the iPhone 7 Plus.
No headphone jack on both new phones.
A pressure sensitive home button, using technology similar to that found on the 3D Touch screen.
Storage capacities ranging from 32GB to 256GB.
A faster A10 processor.
Running iOS 10 at launch.
An initial release date (in some countries) of September 16 or September 23.
Other possibilities include: A water-resistant design, improved stereo speakers and more battery capacity.
Of course, Apple could always drop a bombshell that no one saw coming. We'll know soon enough.

Everything you need to know about Apple's new iPhone
Update: The iPhone 7's battery could be bigger and its camera could let in more light. We've also seen more evidence of a blue shade joining the mix and the launch date is almost here, as Apple sent out a Save the Date for September 7. Here's what that means for your next iPhone upgrade.
Want to know the iPhone 7 release date or all the incoming features? You've come to the right place. It could be a big change this year, as the iPhone 6S is slightly underwhelming because it doesn't bring anything amazing aside from fancy new 3D Touch technology.
But Apple always goes bigger on the non-S variants (think about the big jumps the iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 brought) so we're hoping for big changes both in and out.

5 days to go to the launch event - invitations have been sent out for an iPhone 7 launch event on 7 September - and iPhone 7 rumours are flying, from wireless charging to a screen with built-in Touch ID; it's also believed Apple is going to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack - a move that Steve Wozniak says 'will tick off a lot of people' - and add a 256GB storage option and new colour finishes. Plus: how to watch iPhone 7 launch event.
