"Looking to upstage Apple"
I am sure Huawei will run a good presentation, but I have severe doubts about "upstaging", especially since we don't know what Huawei will launch.

MODERATORS
Given that Huawei has been eating Apple's market share in China, I'd say they're already upstaging them.
Sure, but is that due to a better product, cheaper product or a better political landscape?
I am leaning on the latter two options.
For all its faults (and there are many), Huawei continually features some of best phone cameras available worldwide.
I mean we're now at the point where there really isn't much difference between phones hardware wise, and Huawei is indeed far cheaper than the iPhone https://versus.com/en/apple-iphone-15-pro-vs-huawei-mate-60-pro
Another big factor is that the app ecosystem centres on meta apps like wechat that have a lot of combined functionality. That makes the actual underlying OS less important to the user since they do everything in the app anyway.
"Unveiling"
Guys it's gonna look exactly the same as the last 10 iPhones.
It's a black rectangle!
*gasps of admiration*
Also have the same ass specs, apart from the SoC itself, but cost 50% more.
would be awesome if Xiaomi also decided to join in the fray and just launch the 14T and 14T Pro early (seems the Xiaomi T series usually launches late sept/early oct), just to taunt Apple
