Apple Inc.'s AAPL highly-anticipated iPhone 16 series now has a launch date, according to a report by an industry insider.

The invite, shared by known tipster Majin Bu, features the tagline “Ready. Set. Capture” and a bronze Apple logo. This has led to speculation about a new bronze titanium model of the iPhone 16 Pro.

The event is expected to be held in person at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, starting at 10 a.m. PT. The invite includes an RSVP button for attendees.
