Confirming earlier reports, Apple today issued media invitations for a special iPhone event to be held next Tuesday, October 4th at the company's Town Hall auditorium at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. The event is scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM Pacific Time.

As noted by The Loop, invitations for the event carry the tagline "Let's talk iPhone" and depict iOS icons for Calendar, Clock, Maps, and Phone.

What is rumoured?

New iPhone Hardware - It looks likely that we will finally get a glimpse of what is to come in the iPhone family in terms of hardware. The latest generation is rumoured to make an appearance.

New iOS Software - iOS 5.0 Final is coming closer, and there is no doubt it will be on show along with the hardware.

New iPod Hardware - It is rumoured that a minor update to the iPod is likely to be shown off.

Official Facebook iPad App - Finally, the official Facebook app is rumoured to appear and to be released after the press conference.

Where can I watch the press conference?

Unless you are a member of the press and have been invited, sadly it's out of bounds. Apple doesn't cover the keynote live, and others are prohibited to do so!

HOWEVER - not all is lost, mac-related websites/blogs around the world are here to give you the latest breaking news via RSS-News Feeds and other "Live Update" blogs.

I will keep an up-to-date list of the sites which will give you "Live Updates" of the event below...

YES! Having enough money to buy the phone out right for finding a money tree.

Somnambulist · 27 Sep 2011 at 20:14

About time. Money for the phone is already there, just need to put an order in then go down O2 and get them to swap my sim for a micro one.

Why? You don't even know what it is yet... :confused:

EdwardTeach · 27 Sep 2011 at 20:18

I am due an upgrade next month, so this could be perfect timing. However if the new iPhone doesn't have a bigger screen, I may well switch to android (very impressed with my wife's galaxy s ii).

MrMoonX · 27 Sep 2011 at 20:31

I'm going to buy 4 iPhone 5's sell 3 on ebay to make massive profits

Jimbeam3678 · 27 Sep 2011 at 20:36

According to my wife a Taiwanese website has just been shut down as it was showing pics of the iPhone 5. Obviously can't verify it as I can't speak/read mandarin but she said it looked genuine according to comments.

Can't see any thing on google though

I was actually going to buy it but it works out cheaper for me on contract, roughly over £200-300 cheaper so it makes sense and I'll put the £500 towards my new car instead. win win!
