As the Apple Special Event 2018 fast approaches, rumours have been circulating as to what will be announced at the “Gather round” unveiling on September 12th.

While it is expected that there will be updated iPad, Mac and Apple Watch products, the star of the rumour mill, as per usual, is the iPhone.

It is thought that the event will unveil an upgraded iPhone X with 5.8-inch OLED display and a cheaper model featuring an LCD screen.

Sky reports that analyst believe a “gold-coloured successor to the iPhone X”, while Evening Standard notes that a bigger iPhone is on the cards, featuring a 6.5-inch screen, making it one of the biggest mainstream phones on the market.
