THE NEXT SPECIAL EVENT IS COMING.
For software developers, technology critics and Apple fans, September is considered a second Christmas. Apple has made it tradition to lift the lid on its latest hardware at the same time every year, hosting a Special Event to show off products and give developers a first-hand look before anyone else.

2010: STEVE JOBS INTRODUCES THE iPAD
The first major Special Event held by Apple was back in 2010 when the late Steve Jobs took to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco to show off the iPad. Despite the iPhone coming three years prior, Jobs revealed that the Cupertino firm had been working on their own touch-screen tablet before they decided to create a touch-screen smartphone, but quickly realized that the idea would work just as well as a mobile phone. Manufacturing executive Walter Shimoon pleaded guilty to leaking details of the iPad before its 2010 launch, but that didn’t stop the tablet from breaking records and selling more than two million units in less than two months.
2010 also saw a second Special Event from Apple, this time iPhone OS 4. Apple described the new operating system as having more than 100 new features, as well as a development kit (SDK). Indeed, 2010 was the start of the App Store revolution, with Apple giving more powers to developers to create award-winning apps.
