Apple has started sending invites for an iPhone event at Apple's Cupertino campus on Oct. 4.

Apple is expected to <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/">unveil the iPhone 5</a>. The tech giant is also likely to unveil a second, cheaper iPhone model based off the current iPhone 4. The event will be the first with <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/tim-cook-apple-ceo/">Tim Cook as CEO</a>.

The new iPhone has been rumored to have an 8 MP camera, 1 GB of RAM, an aluminum back, a larger screen and a slew of other upgrades. Apple is also expected to unveil a new Assistant feature for iOS 5 and will bring some <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-iphone-app-exclusive/">special guests on stage</a>.

This will be Apple's first iPhone event since June 2010, when it released the iPhone 4. <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/">iPhone 5 demand is expected to be strong</a>, thanks to the lack of a phone release this summer and the addition of the iPhone on the Verizon network. Sprint is also <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/">expected to get the iPhone</a>.
