X user Lore has claimed responsibility for the image posted by Majin Bu, alleging that the invitation is fake. This revelation is disappointing, especially since the possibility of the invite being a fabrication was already considered. Lore’s ability to deceive with such ease highlights the challenges in verifying the authenticity of such leaks.
The article originally discussed a potential invitation to an Apple event slated for the second week of September, with a focus on the iPhone 16. Despite the compelling nature of the invitation, there remains a considerable chance it may not be genuine.
Majin Bu shared the invite on X but expressed doubt about the reliability of their anonymous source, which casts further uncertainty on the image’s validity. This skepticism was reiterated in a follow-up post, suggesting that the invite should be approached with caution.
The purported invitation includes details such as a September 10 event date at Apple HQ in Cupertino, featuring a bronze Apple logo. This design choice might hint at the Desert Titanium color rumored for the iPhone 16 Pro. Additionally, the tagline “Ready. Set. Capture” could be referencing a new Capture button expected on the upcoming iPhone.
If Apple is indeed preparing for a September event, official invitations should be forthcoming soon. Apple typically provides a few weeks’ notice before such events. Meanwhile, the details included in the invite are based on popular rumors, making it easy for someone to create a convincing but fake invitation. The event might also reveal other new products, such as the Apple Watch 10, AirPods 4, and possibly the AirPods Max 2.
