The product that is expected to have the most improvements is the Apple TV. There are leaked details that indicate a massive reorientation of the device from a streaming appliance to a gaming console, as HNGN previously reported.
The iPhone 6S launch will be held at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco for the first time. This is the largest venue for Apple so far, which many expect to mean big announcements. For those interested to watch the iPhone 6S event, here are the schedule according to time zones:

London: 6:00 p.m.
