Apple has sent out an invite to a ‘special Apple event’ to be held on October 13 where it is expected to launch its next iPhone, likely to be called iPhone 12.

The tech giant has not provided any further details on the invite which simply reads, “Hi, Speed.”

The special Apple event will be hosted from Apple Park and will be streamlined online on Apple’s website at 10:30 pm IST.

According to reports, the ‘Hi, Speed’ written on the invite can point to faster speeds with 5G connectivity. Apple’s upcoming iPhone will be the first phone from the brand to support 5G connectivity.

It is also expected to have a faster A14 processor and a better refresh rate, the Indian Express reported.
