Apple's iPhone 12 launch virtual event to be announced this week?

As September arrives, Apple fanatics gear up for the company to reveal its latest line of iPhones along with other products. However, it has been over one week since September and there has been no formal announcement about the latest iPhone 12 besides a few leaks. However, now, Bloomberg's Mark Gunman, who actively participates in conversations surrounding the leaks and other details about the upcoming iPhone 12, has shared that an announcement about the virtual event where the new generation of iPhones will be unveiled might be on its way soon.

Apple usually sends invites for an iPhone event almost two weeks before the event is set to take place.
