Confirming months of rumors, Apple has officially announced a special event for September 12, 2012, expected to see the launch of the next-generation iPhone. The invitation graphic reads “It’s almost here,” with a large number 12 casting the number “5” as a shadow—a hint, perhaps, that Apple has chosen to go with the name “iPhone 5” for the sixth-generation iPhone.
