It has been speculated the new iPhone 5S will be available in a range of different colours, possibly hinted at in the latest Apple invitation.


A budget iPhone 5C has also been tipped to be launched at the event, offering a cheaper alternative to the new model.

The iPhone 5 was unveiled at a press conference in San Francisco last year, a week after Apple had sent out invites for the event.

This year’s event will coincide with Berlin’s IFA show, where Samsung is expected to launch its new Galaxy smart watch.
