When Apple throws its annual iPhone bash on eroticize violenceTuesday, everyone will finally get their first look at the most awaited gadget of the year, the new "premium" iPhone, the so-called iPhone 8.

Everyone except Mark Gurman, that is.

The Bloombergreporter has already held a prototype of the iPhone 8 (or iPhone X, or iPhone Edition, or iPhone Pro, or whatever it's called) and delivered an extensive report on how the home button -- or rather the lack of one -- would work.

On this week's MashTalk, Gurman joins the podcast to share a little more detail on his experience with the iPhone 8, give his predictions for what else Apple might have in store for its Sept. 12 event, and address any concerns about whether Apple will be able to meet the sure-to-be-enormous demand for its top-tier iPhone.

Also joining the show is Jim Dalrymple, editor in chief of Loop Insight. With his deep knowledge of Apple and its history, Dalrymple gives us needed perspective on just how big a moment this is for Tim Cook and Apple, especially considering the radical changes in the iPhone, the venue for the event (the brand-new Steve Jobs Theater on the Apple Park campus), and the fact that this is the year of the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.

Who is the iPhone 8 for? What is Apple going to call it? And what does it mean for the "regular" iPhones? Dalrymple, Gurman, Lance Ulanoff, and I set the stage for the biggest tech event of the year in a wide-ranging discussion.
