The much-awaited and rumored Apple event has finally been confirmed, now that Apple has sent out invitations for an event at 10am Pacific Time on September 1. As usual, the company did not specify exactly what will be discussed at the media-only event, but the image above contains the typical clues that this will be a music-focused event.

Apple has held an annual media event in September every year for several years now, each focused on the iPod. Though many Apple fans keep their fingers crossed that Apple will discuss other things (such as iPhones and iMacs) in September, this is not usually the case. Typically, Apple updates the iPod touch and introduces a newly designed iPod nano, among other things.

This year’s event may also include an updated Apple TV and changes to iTunes media pricing, as per the latest rumors. Many expect Apple to introduce 99-cent TV show rentals, and a cloud-based music and video service remains a possibility as well.
