Apple has invited members of the UK media to a special press conference to be held at Apple Store Regent Street on September 18th at 10am.
That is all that’s included on the invite (besides directions to the store, parking info, and the London Congestion Charge disclaimer).
The invites are currently being emailed to various members of the UK press.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader Christopher Phin, deputy editor, MacFormat magazine for the heads up.]
UK iPhone launch with O2? The Beatles debut in iTunes Store? Something else?
Please be 10.5 launch.
The Dude abides
Leopard?
Pretty please?
Me ol’ chums will finally let bits of their tunes on iTunes.
Nah, the queen is going to read stories.
It’s got to be iPhone. Anything iTunes content related wouldn’t be a press conference. Unless it was Video’s.
Apple will announce the iWanker in 5 different colors and give out free toothbrushes.
It wont be Leopard. That would be at a big event in America, wouldn’t it?
Will Steve Jobs be there?
Well I don’t know what snowman is talking about, but I heard
Apple will announce the iWanker in 5 different colours and give out free toothbrushes.
Cheers.
Announcing carrier in England for iPhone….
zzzzzzzzz.
Of course it’s the iPhone launch in Europe! “Mum is the word” means you can’t talk. Well – “if mum is no longer the word” then you CAN talk…on your new iPhone.
Until next Thursday, “mum’s the word”. Shhhhhh… *Ring* *Ring* (two rings)
Word…Spoken word?…then it’s the iPhone.
Although I agree with the Leopard already sentiment
Doesnt Apple have another deal on the 25th? I would think they would do Leopard then…and keep this for europhone
An Oasis edition iPod. And I thought Grease was the word.
Obviously the iPhone. Weird they wouldn’t launch it in Paris, though.
Beatles as in Brits, London baby!
Yes, and this will correspond with the “Bum Is No Longer The Word” anniversary with John and George

MW:hands….
It had better be the iPhone European release date or I’m going to cry 🙁 All my American friends are taunting me with their fab, shiny iPhones!
Have you heard?
The word is ‘love’…
The Beatles special edition iPods will ramp up the whole ‘British Invasion’ theme. Holding the event in the UK is paying homage to the fab 4. Doing it in Liverpool or at Abbey Road would be too obvious.
In the meantime, we get buzz galore. Look how much free marketing you can have with a cryptic press release? Jobs plays the media like a finely tuned violin.
Definitely the iPhone but I think it’s for all three European countries, not just UK. The subsequent Apple Expo in Paris (9/25 to 29) will be the marketing pitch for France.
Also, possibly announcing a new 3G iPhone model for purchase in November. Announcement now before “FCC” type certification announcements are made public in Europe and US.
Interesting that Apple isn’t making the press schlepp out to the MacCave in Stockley Park where they’d have more control over proceedings and where they have proper conference rooms where you can squeeze a couple of hundred journos.
Why do that??
Hint Hint

knowhutimean?
Why would Apple launch Leopard at a UK press conference?
It’s the iPhone, most definitely. It’s the only thing that is country-specific, and big news enough to warrant a special event.
Maybe the Queen “MUM” will be speaking.
I bet its the uk iPhone launch!
