This reveals the invitation of the iPhone 13 event

Apple sent an official invitation to the iPhone 13 event on Tuesday. And yes: this time too Apple has hidden the necessary hints in the invitation. Here they are.

iPhone 13 event invitation

Last night, Apple announced that it will be hosting a major event on Tuesday, September 14. It seems that Tim Cook’s company will present the four new iPhone 13 devices. In addition, other new Apple products are also expected, such as the Watch Series 7 and AirPods 3.

Apple has a knack for hiding clues in the invitation. High time to take a closer look at the invite from the iPhone 13 event.

1. Pink iPhone 13

The rumor mill surrounding the iPhone 13 has been going on for months. For example, there was speculation about an iPhone 13 in a pinkish hue. It is no coincidence that the sunset in the invitation turns pink. That pink iPhone 13 is coming.

2. AirPods 3

The theme of the Apple event is ‘California streaming’. With that, Apple seems to be referring to the pop classic California Dreamin’. So, is there going to be an Apple product that will let you stream music? That could just be, because the third generation AirPods are also expected.

3. Astrophotography

That the invitation shows a night sky has a meaning. The iPhone 13 will reportedly get an improved camera with a cool new function: astrophotography. By pointing your iPhone at the sky at night, it automatically adjusts the settings and shoots beautiful photos of the universe.

4. New Macs?

What is also striking is that the photo looks a lot like a macOS wallpaper. For example, it reminds us of the desktop image of macOS Catalina. It is very unusual for Apple to present new Macs in September. But traditions are made to be broken, aren’t they?

5. iPhone 13 release date

Apple announced the date of the Apple event, which is a good indication of the release date of the iPhone 13. Traditionally, the new iPhones can be pre-ordered the Friday after the event; that day falls this year on September 17. A week later (September 24), the iPhone 13 models are presumably in stores and being delivered.
