SEOUL, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 29th Aug, 2017 ) : U.S. tech giant Apple Inc. is widely expected to showcase its new iPhone in September, industry sources said Tuesday, staging a face-to-face battle with samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy Note 8, which will also hit shelves next month.

According to the sources, Apple will showcase the presumed iPhone 8 on Sept. 12, with the official release expected to start within a week from the showcase event. The new iPhone, accordingly, is expected to engage in a fierce competition with Samsung's Galaxy Note 8, which will be available in the market starting Sept.
