Talking Tech: It's Apple season. Who's ready for iPhone 14?

It's Thursday, also known as Friday eve. This is Brett Molina counting down to the unofficial end of summer with this week's top tech headlines.

Fall is approaching. It's like we're driving on the highway and various mile markers pop up indicating how much closer we get.

Pumpkin spice is here? Check.

The NFL preseason is underway? Check.

The new Madden NFL video game is here? Check.

But for many tech fans, there's another event that pops up signaling another step toward the season of sweaters and falling leaves: Apple's iPhone event.

On Wednesday, Apple formally confirmed its next iPhone event, kicking off Sept. 7. In typical fashion, Apple isn't saying what they'll reveal. But unless the tech giant upends years of tradition, it's more than likely we'll see the iPhone 14.

So what does this mean? Based on previous history, the new iPhone typically launches the next week on a Friday. If Apple's new iPhone follows tradition, then we likely get an iPhone 14 on Sept. 16. 

Then there's iOS 16, the operating system update coming to most iPhones. We should see that launch the week of Sept. 12, if Apple history repeats itself.
