Apple just revealed a clue about its September iPhone event date

Apple is set to reveal details about its upcoming iPhone event in September, according to a report by Bloomberg. The company is opening a lottery for its US retail employees to assist at the event, with workers from Apple Stores able to apply to help with various tasks such as organizing lines, checking in guests, and supporting security teams.

The event is expected to take place in the first half of September, with Apple stating it is "excited to offer US store team members the opportunity to participate in the Event Support Experience Program." Interested employees must apply by August 8, with selections announced by August 17. While Apple typically holds its annual iPhone event during the second week of September, the timing this year may be influenced by Labor Day, which falls on September 7.

A Wednesday event appears slightly more likely, as it would allow for travel and workday flexibility for attendees. If that is the case, the iPhone event could be held on September 9, with pre-orders opening on Friday and the release occurring one week later.
