Here’s a lesson to always take leaks with a grain of salt: A recently circulated Apple event invite announcing a possible bronze iPhone was just confirmed to be fake. The invite made headlines, and people wondered if the odd color scheme hinted at a new iPhone color.
Having fallen for fake leaks in the past, I can completely understand how something like this spreads. It’s not exactly difficult to replicate Apple’s minimalist design for its posters. The anonymous source who faked the leak claims it was created in less than 10 minutes.
Fun fact: I created the leaked Apple event invitation in less than 10 minutes using Figma and an AI-generated texture

We may also get new information on the rumored modern makeover of the iPhone SE, which will reportedly look like the iPhone 14 when it launches next year. In addition to news on the Apple Watch and AirPods, I hope we also hear a release date for visionOS 2.
iPhones are some of the best phones available today, hence the insane hype surrounding events like this. It would have been more surprising to me if NO false rumors and leaks before these events.
