Apple event

On Wednesday, Apple will host an event from its California headquarters, where it is widely expected the tech giant will introduce the iPhone 14.

Last year, consumers chose between iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Several other products could also see updates, including the Apple Watch and AirPods. If Apple follows that trend this year, iOS 16 would launch on Sept.
