Apple confirms iPhone 5 event

The word is out! The Loop is reporting to have received invitation by Apple for a media event. The event is scheduled for October 4th and it’ll take place at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino to give the world its first official glimpse of an iPhone 5 along with iOS 5 and iCloud. The event will be held at Apple’s Cupertino, Calif. campus and will begin at 10:00 am PT.

As with most Apple event invitations, details are scant as of now. But the invitation is featuring four icons for iPhone apps: Calendar, displaying Tuesday the 4th; Clock, displaying 10:00 (time at which the event will start); Maps, with its usual icon, which displays Apple’s Cupertino campus (location for the event), and the Phone app, with a “1″ badge. “1″ means only “One” iPhone will be announced, however, this is just my personal guesstimate.

Apple CEO Tim Cook will be launching the next generation iPhone 5 and new media players like iPod touches and iPod in a keynote on October 4th. The event is undoubtedly going to be a big deal with major product announcements and it’s been widely assumed Apple would start selling an updated version of iPhone, iCloud and iOS 5. I’d say we’ll definitely see update iPods as well, as the fall event is generally when the company shows off its new iPod lineup No definitive word on what those product are, but I think we all have a pretty good idea of what to expect.
