Apple is poised to launch new iPhones on Wednesday, as it introduces new gadgets at an event on its campus in Cupertino, California.

Based on analysts, leaks, and reports, we have an idea of what Apple could be launching this fall.

Apple could launch its biggest iPhone ever as well as a more affordable phone with an edge-to-edge screen.

Here's everything you need to know about what Apple could launch later this week:

Apple sent invites to journalists and others for an event on its campus on September 12.

That means you will almost certainly be able to buy a new iPhone this September.

Since 2012, Apple has unveiled its latest iPhone in September. Typically, the new phone is available to preorder a few days after Apple's announcement.

Here's the recent history:

2012: The iPhone 5 was announced on Wednesday, September 12, and started shipping on Friday, September 21.
2013: The iPhone 5S was announced on Wednesday, September 10, and started shipping on Friday, September 20.
2014: The iPhone 6 was announced on Tuesday, September 9, and started shipping on Friday, September 19.
2015: The iPhone 6S was announced on Wednesday, September 9, and started shipping on Friday, September 25.
2016: The iPhone 7 was announced on Wednesday, September 7, and started shipping on September 16.
2017: The iPhone 8 and iPhone X were announced on Tuesday, September 12. The iPhone 8 started shipping on September 22. In a change from previous years, iPhone X started shipping on November 3, almost two months after the announcement.

Reliable analysts and journalists have predicted that Apple will release three new iPhones.

The short answer to what to expect from the new iPhones is more Face ID, Apple's facial-recognition software that replaced the fingerprint sensor on the iPhone X. Signs are pointing to it becoming a default feature on this year's models.

Apple watchers are expecting three new iPhones this year: one that looks like the iPhone X but with updated components, one that's a supersized version of the iPhone X, and one that's a less expensive iPhone with an edge-to-edge LCD screen and facial recognition that could cost $649 to $749.
