This Wednesday The Loop, reported that Apple had issued invitations to a media event next Wednesday the 2nd. The event, which will be held at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, is widely speculated to mark the introduction of updates to Apple’s iOS platform and potentially the iPad. The not so subtle imagery accompanying the invitation serves to bolster these claims. Apple has held numerous events at the Yerba Buena Center in the past, and debuted the original iPad at the venue early last year. The event is slated (get it?) to take place at 10:00 AM PST.
