New iPhone Models Incoming: Apple Sends Invites for September 10 Event

Apple has sent out invitations to a September 10 event hosted at their Cupertino Campus, confirming the widely anticipated launch day of the next iPhone models.

The invite, shown above, features many overlapping brightly colored flat and transparent circles, in an apparent reference to the expected colorful iPhone 5C models and the vibrant iOS 7 visual overhaul, along with the words “This should brighten everyone’s day.”

Two new iPhone models are expected to be released at the September event. The iPhone 5C is said to be a lower-cost colorful model based upon existing iPhone 5 hardware, while the iPhone 5S is rumored to be the new higher-end iPhone model featuring updated internal components. Both devices will run iOS 7, which will likely be released to the public soon after the event.
