It could expand the iPhone X design and naming across its entire phone lineup, with more sizes, colors and price points, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-08-27\/apple-to-embrace-iphone-x-design-with-new-colors-bigger-screens\" target=\"_blank\">according to Bloomberg<\/a>.

Last year, though, it skipped the minor update to mark the device&#8217;s 10-year anniversary. Instead of an iPhone 7s, it jumped straight to an iPhone 8 and an iPhone X (for the number ten, not the letter). It remains unclear how the company will handle device naming going forward. <\/p>\n<p> The invitation doesn&#8217;t give many hints. Its art, like time, is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0mhZBLUyybo\" target=\"_blank\">flat circle<\/a>. It says &#8220;Gather round&#8221; underneath a rose gold colored halo that looks like the rings around Saturn. Or the activity rings on an Apple Watch. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"body_img body_img--780\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.cdn.turner.com\/money\/dam\/assets\/180830124230-apple-gather-round-invitation-780x439.jpg\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" alt=\"apple gather round invitation\" border=\"0\"><figcaption class=\"caption\">Apple&#8217;s fall iPhone event will take place September 12 in Cupertino.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p> The timing of Apple&#8217;s fall announcement has become as predictable as the event itself. Apple has in each of the past six years hosted a press conference in early September to announce a new iPhone. <\/p>\n<p> Tim Cook and other executive pace a stage in crisp business casual wear, while talking excitedly about how the new devices are the best ever. Jony Ive&#8217;s voice narrates a video showing some product being made, but not the factory workers making it. <\/p>\n<p> This will be the second press event hosted at Steve Jobs theater, a 1,000-seat underground circular venue topped with a 20-foot high glass and a metallic carbon-fiber roof. <\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cnnStorySource\"> CNNMoney (San Francisco) <\/span> <span class=\"cnnDateStamp\">First published August 30, 2018: 2:27 PM ET<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How will Apple follow up its biggest iPhone announcement since the original?
