This is where the iPhone magic will happen.

On Sept. 12, Apple will unveil its latest smartphones at the sleek and mysterious Steve Jobs Theater, located just outside of the company's "spaceship" campus in Cupertino, California. We didn't what it looked like inside, until now.

Mac Magazine published a photo of the auditorium under construction on Instagram and ... well, it doesn't really tell us much.

Or does it? No, it doesn't. Apple is supposed to unveil three phones at the event, possibly called the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone Edition.

While iPhone launches are always hot tickets, the Steve Jobs Theater reportedly has way fewer seats than the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, where the event has been held in the past.

So it's going to be extra-exclusive. Sorry, Apple fans, it looks like this might be the closest you get.
