Apple is holding perhaps its first ever media event in China on Sept. 11, signaling that the U.S. company is paying greater attention to the nation's thriving tech market.
News of the event circulated across Chinese media sites on Wednesday, with the invitation sent to select domestic news organizations. One journalist at Chinese Internet media firm Sohu.com confirmed to IDG News Service that he had also received an invite from Apple.
Apple did not respond to requests for comment.
The event takes place half a day after Apple holds its Sept. 10 gathering for the U.S. media, at which the company is expected to unveil its next-generation iPhone. Both invitations have a similar tagline, with the Chinese one stating, "This day is destined to be a sparkling day."
