Tech giant Apple has sent out official invitations on Tuesday to several individuals for a special event on September 10, 2013.

According to Loop Insight, the media event will be held at Apple's California headquarters in Cupertino. The event will reportedly start at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

The invitation came in dominant white with colorful circles or bubbles behind the Apple logo which was also in white. The circles came in different colors including yellow, red, green, orange, white, pink and several shades of blue. Along with the colorful layout was the caption: "This should brighten everyone's day."

Though the invite contained the venue and time of the event, but there was no mention of any Apple product at all. This left several of the invitation recipients guessing on what the media event will be about.

In an interview with CNET's Inside Scoop, Senior Writer Josh Lowensohn says that the colors of the polka dots (circles) in the Apple invitation were quite close to what everyone is expecting of the iPhone 5C.

The iPhone 5C, also known as the "budget iPhone" is expected to cost around $400 to $500 dollars, says Lowensohn. There is also a high possibility of the iPhone 5C to be streamlined in emerging markets such as China and India where users often purchase handsets without having to enter into contracts with carriers.

In addition, Lowensohn also thinks that Apple's September 10 media event will mainly be for new models of the iPhone and not for iPads. iPads will most likely be launched on October or even early November, he says.

If Lowensohn's predictions are true, Apple could be launching the budget version of iPhone, the iPhone 5C, in the media event along with a higher end version, the iPhone 5S.

In an earlier report, leaked images of the iPhone 5C spanned across several tech websites, showed the phone in its packaging. The iPhone 5C leaked images showed the handset in red, white, blue, yellow and green.

The iPhone 5S is expected to come in "champagne" color and will reportedly include a fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button, says Apple Insider.
