• Apple's new mobile phone, the iPhone 6, will actually be two products: one with a 4.7in screen and a larger 5.5in model. Read all the latest rumours on the devices here and see our gallery of "leaked" images and artistic impressions here.
• We will also see the launch of the "iWatch". The major technology companies (and several small ones) are fighting for a share of the rapidly expanding smartwatch market at the moment, and Apple is expected to stake its own claim today. The wrist-worn device is expected to play music, receive calls and send emails. Read all the latest rumours about the device here.
Both of the new devices will run a new version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 8. It has a powerful new feature called HealthKit to monitor your health which will tie together data from fitness trackers and things like blood pressure sensors. It also has HomeKit, which can control a wide range of home automation devices like lights and central heating. You'll be able to tell Siri "I'm going to bed" and your lights will dim and your heating will turn off.
The five biggest security risks for mobile workers EE
• You won't need to buy a new device to get access to iOS 8 - it will also be available as a free download for older devices - but you'll have to wait until Wednesday. Those with phones older than the iPhone 4S, however, will be out of luck, as Apple classes these as "vintage" products and no longer supports them.
• There's likely to be some kind of announcement around mobile payments. Essentially, the iPhone 6 will have a chip in it which can act like the contactless debit cards we're just getting used to seeing here in the UK.
• We'll be bringing you all the latest news in the build-up to the event, as well as full coverage of the launch, on our live blog .
