Cupertino-based Apple is all geared to host the company's annual fall product launch event, but unlike previous years, 2017 is special as it marks the 10th anniversary of the first-ever iPhone.
Apple's charismatic and eccentric CEO Steve Jobs had in 2007 said the company took 2.5 years to make the iPhone and it was a game-changer. Now, as the company celebrates a decade of its success, it plans to announce a commemorative special-edition iPhone X at the newly-built Steve Jobs Theater — at the the company's new spaceship-like campus Apple Park.

The event's keynote speech is scheduled to start at 10 am PDT (10:30 pm IST) on Tuesday at the Steve Jobs Theater.
Like previous years, Apple has made arrangements to webcast the entire programme online, so fans can watch Apple CEO Tim Cook and team unveil new products from the comfort of their home.
The only caveat is the live-streaming uses Apple's proprietary HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology and is compatible with select Apple devices and latest Windows 10-powered PCs.
