Apple has invited media to the first-ever event at Apple Park, colloquially known as its "spaceship" headquarters: the giant, circular building in Cupertino, California, which the firm started building in 2013.
With earnings behind us, and US politics and geo-politics still at the heart of the conversation, this week central banks also come into the mix with the RBA and ECB taking central focus. (This video was produced in commercial partnership between Fairfax Media and IG Markets.)
For many, Friday is simply September 1, but for Star Wars fans it's officially Force Friday II - a chance to get the latest toys from the upcoming film.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are just some of the digital currencies that have been on a tear this year. But it hasn't been smooth-sailing in the cryptocurrency world.
Apple is removing the home button in its latest iteration of the iPhone.
The September 12 event is widely expected to feature the release of the next iPhone, a decade after the original was introduced by Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs. To have the 10th anniversary phone debut at an Apple theatre named for Jobs brings the product full-circle, if you'll excuse the pun.
The event's starting time of 10am September 12 equates to 3am Wednesday 13, AEST.
At an event last year, Apple chief executive Tim Cook said that he believed it would be the last time he introduced a product in the old Cupertino complex, with its very famous "One Infinite Loop" address.

"This is probably the last product introduction in the town hall that you're sitting in today," Cook said. "We've had a lot of important announcements here. It's a very special place with lots of memories. The iPod was announced in this room; so was the App Store. We have lots of great memories here."

Cook and the rest of Apple head into the event with big expectations. Having decided to give the last iPhones, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, a smaller-than-expected makeover, the pressure is on to deliver something spectacular with the next models. Apple insiders expect the company to show off a tenth-anniversary model of the iPhone that is substantially redesigned, with an edge-to-edge screen and no home button.
Apple is also expected to announce a refresh for the Apple TV set-top box, which may gain support for ultra-high definition 4K video. The firm may also offer an update of its Apple Watch.
