              Apple Event Generates Speculation About New Devices

   by VOA News

   The Apple company has sent out mysterious invitations to a new "product
   event" for September 9, but has not said exactly what will be announced
   - standard practice for the technology company, which often launches
   new products in September.

   Media outlets on Thursday received invitations to the event, carrying
   the headline "Hey Siri, give us a hint." Siri is the name for the
   voice-activated "personal assistant" function contained in Apple
   devices.

   While the exact nature of the announcement has not been revealed,
   industry observers say it is likely to be a new iPhone model or a new
   version of the Apple TV set-top box, which allows a standard television
   to display streaming content.

   Apple event announcements usually generate a great deal of interest
   because of how closely the company guards its information. When Siri
   users question their electronic device about the purpose of the
   September 9 event, "she" answers enigmatically, saying only to expect
   "a big announcement."
