Apple announced on Sept. 4 that it’ll be holding a special iPhone 5 event in San Francisco on Sept. 12. The company hasn’t said what it has planned for the show, but the invitation clearly showed that the iPhone 5 will be taking center stage.

Of course, that isn’t much of a surprise. For months now, we’ve been hearing that Apple would be hosting an event to unveil its next-generation smartphone. And for the last several weeks, every rumor has said that the Sept. 12 event was in the works. Now that it’s official, the only thing to really look forward to is the event itself.
The event will be headlined by Apple’s next iPhone. But it’ll also be home to a host of other things, including statistics, software and maybe even some underhanded comments designed to take Android down a peg or two.
Like everything else Apple does, its Sept. 12 event will be a show. And it’ll be a fun one to watch. The real question is what will Apple offer besides a look at the iPhone 5? Here’s a look at what else might happen.
1. That bigger display is coming
It’s a near-certainty that Apple will offer up a bigger display in the iPhone 5. Nearly every day, new manufacturing parts leak out showing what appears to be a 4-inch opening for an iPhone 5 screen. Other days, actual iPhone 5 mockups appear on the Web showing the same display size. Given that, it’s nearly impossible Apple won’t offer up a new display when its iPhone 5 is announced next week.
