Apple to announce new iPhones on September 7

A few days ago, I discussed a rumor from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg that Apple would introduce the 2022 version of the iPhone on September 7.  Yesterday, Apple confirmed that date.  On September 7, 2022, at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern, Apple will hold an event at the Steve Jobs Theater on Apple's campus in Cupertino, CA.  And while Apple hasn't revealed what will be introduced, the event will surely feature the next version of the iPhone.  I'm sure we will see a few other items too, such as perhaps a new Apple Watch.  My personal hope is that Apple also introduces a new version of the AirPods Pro, but that is mainly because the one that I started using in late 2019 is sometimes having some issues with charging in the case, so it seems like time for me to replace them. This is the first time that Apple has invited the press to the Steve Jobs Theater since September 10, 2019, when Apple announced the iPhone 11.  But as of now, it is unclear whether Apple is returning completely to a pro-COVID approach.  For example, will the product announcements occur on stage with live presenters, or will we just see people on stage introduce the same (fantastic) videos of new products that Apple has been using for the last two years?  Will the theater be packed, or will it be a smaller crowd that is socially distanced? The invitation for the event uses the tagline "Far out."  I'm not sure what that means.  Maybe Apple will explain how to get the pictures from the James Webb telescope on the beautiful iPhone screen.  Chance Miller of 9to5Mac suggests that it could indicate a satellite radio for the iPhone "to allow users to connect to a satellite when they lose cellular service to communicate with first responders in emergency situations," a rumor surfaced by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg earlier this year, or it could indicate a camera that is so improved that it can better take pictures of space at night.  Leander Kahney of Cult of Mac jokes that it could mean that the "iPhone 14 Pro will be a total black hole for your money."  Feel free to come up with your own speculation on what the phrase suggests.
