Apple Sends Out Event Invites to Media, Peloton Is Imploding, A Peloton and Amazon Tie-up? (Daily Update)

The following update was sent to members on August 25th.

Hello everyone. Let’s jump right in.


Apple Sends Out Event Invites to Media

Yesterday, Apple sent out media invites for an in-person event at Steve Jobs Theater to be held on Wednesday, September 7th. It’s been three years since Apple last held a full-fledged in-person product event at Steve Jobs Theater.

Apple’s approach to WWDC was likely a test run for what is in store on September 7th. Apple will welcome press/media/analysts/VIPs/employees to Steve Jobs Theater to enjoy breakfast/refreshments. Guests will then be led to Steve Jobs Theater where Tim Cook will get on stage to welcome everyone. This will be directly followed by Apple playing a taped presentation. Afterwards, the press will be able to check out the new products in the demo area. Apple may even start the taped presentation a few minutes earlier for guests to encourage press liveblogging on social media.
