Apple To Host September 25th Special Event (Photokina) [Updated]

Macworld has received an invitation to an Apple special event on September 25th, right before Photokina. Indications from the invitation are an Aperture-related announcement. An Aperture update had previously been rumored on page 2. Of note, Apple had previously been sending out invitations to UK press to a September 25th event at Photokina. At this time, it would appear as though the events are separate.[Update] Macworld originally reported the event date as September 24. With MacWorld's reporting error fixed, it does appear as though the events are one-in-the-same. Sorry for the confusion.

Is there any chance that they'll release the MBPs here?

Most likely. I'm not a betting person, but Apple usually rolls out new pro machines during these types of events and what better way to show off the MBPs running C2D than a demonstration of Aperture 2.0. :)

I'm not sure why Aperture gets knocked by so many people, it seems pretty impressive for a new comer in this market.

I don't want to speculate what they will be announcing on the 24th, but I'll be anxiously waiting. :)

I will be going to the Photokina, I live like 30min away. Maybe I can go to the special event too :D

I'll see if I need a ticket/invitation (probably not, I am not getting my hopes up yet)

announcing the C2D MBP alongside next rev of aperture seems to be a natural fit. i really want to keep beliveing that the new MBP will happen in september, and this seems like a perfect time for it.

Hmmm, an Aperture update would be cool. I wonder if they would make any financial "concessions" to people who have recently purchased Aperture... :o
