Apple Hands Out Invitations For Rumored Sept. 9 iPhone 6 Event

Apple has started giving out invitations for its mysterious event scheduled for Sept. 9, according to Game Spot.

The event, which will be held in Apple's base in Cupertino, California, is rumored to be as the avenue for the release of the iPhone 6.

The invitation did not provide any details regarding the event. Instead, it only featured the date "9.9.2014" and the phrase "wish we could say more."

The event invites were given to notable tech news sites such as CNET and IGN, which reinforces the speculations that Apple is preparing to unveil a new device.

The buzz-worthy date Apple has set also marks the one-year anniversary of the introduction of the iPhone 5S and 5C models.

Since the late Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone model in 2007, the company has been releasing updated versions of the device each year.

In addition to the possible debut of the iPhone 6, Apple may also introduce a new wearable tech product on Sept. 9. Unofficially dubbed as the iWatch, this new device will reportedly monitor the health conditions of the wearers, IGN reported.

Specifically, the device will keep track of the hydration and glucose levels during physical activities and displays data using the iOS 8. The iWatch will also be equipped with the Healthbook, a feature that monitors the wearer's vital signs and sets reminders for medication.

It was previously reported that Apple has suffered a shortage in the production of its screen panels for the iPhone 6. The production issue was brought about by an immediate redesign process that involves changing the backlight behind the screen.

Despite speculations that the problem will affect the release of the iPhone 6, a source who has internal knowledge of Apple's activities claimed that the company will still proceed with the marketing plans for the new device.

"It really does not matter," the insider stated. "Apple will sell all that they can manufacture and because of the larger screen model, it is obvious that many users have been waiting for Apple to release the larger screen and that alone will drive significant sales."
