Apple on Thursday sent invitations to select members of the media and special guests for an event on September 12. The invitation features a circular symbol labeled, “Gather round” and notes that the event will take place at the Steve Jobs Theater, which is located on the new Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California.
AppleThe invitation does not say anything about what will be announced at the event, but based on Apple’s history, the star attraction will probably be new iPhones.
