08:42 AAPL Apple UK special event Sep 18, iPhone UK launch? - Macworld.co.uk (136.85 )

Macworld.co.uk reports the co is inviting UK media to a special event at its flagship London store on Regents Street next week. The event invitation proclaims: "Mum is no longer the word", and asks media and analysts to turn up at 10am, Tuesday, Sep 18, for a press conference.

Macworld's editor Mark Hattersley said: "it's a UK-specific event and we know the iPhone is due to be launched in the UK, so that's the most likely scenario." However, it could be simply an announcement regarding the UK operator for the iPhone.

Or Apple could be launching an extended television or film service in the UK. The could also be ready to add Beatles to iTunes, although the general consensus is that these scenarios would involve either a world-wide announcement, or a different venue to the Apple store.
