How they look new Apple flagships, we already know. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI, however, speculated two days before the Apple Event what the iPhone 7 would look like.

New emoji for tacos, unicorns and more in iOS 9.1 (9/9)
Apple hasn't even released the iOS 9 release yet, and developers, including people enrolled in the public beta program, can test iOS 9.1 on their devices. It mainly brings a new batch of emoticons.
New smileys brings a whole new collection of animals, such as crab, squirrel, unicorn. Not even food was left behind, and in the list you can find, for example, an image for popular tacos. Apple has also enriched the nature and objects section, for example with a symbol for Wall Street.
Among users, however, the image of a raised middle finger or a smiley face with a bandage on its head garners the biggest reaction so far. Apple was the first ever to add this offensive gesture to its system, ahead of Microsoft and other companies.

Komix predicted the iPad Pro three years ago (September 10)
The hussar piece was already successful in 2012 by the American cartoonist Joel Watson, who predicted in his comic that Apple would introduce the iPad Pro this year. At that time, the artist took the first generation of Microsoft's Surface tablet as a model, while he also managed to capture the fact that the tablet would be inserted into a special keyboard.
In the comics, of course, everyone makes fun of him, but as soon as Tim Cook appears on the scene in 2015 with an iPad Pro, people immediately adopt him as their own. Joel Watson now acts as a great prophet who literally and figuratively managed to predict what Apple is up to.

Tim Cook will speak with Stephen Colbert, the head of Apple Pay at the Code/Mobile conference (September 11)
Apple CEO Tim Cook will appear on Stephen Colbert's Late Show on Tuesday, September 15. Colbert made the announcement on Twitter, quite aptly and humorously using the Apple Watch and dictating a reminder via Siri.
Colbert's new Late Show has already featured well-known actors and politicians, such as George Clooney or the Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden. The heads of Tesla, Elon Musk, and Uber, Travis Kalanik, were also present.
Colbert isn't shy about asking any questions, whether straight to the point or completely stupid and misguided. It can therefore be assumed that the interview will be very interesting and will probably revolve around the newly introduced products.
