Watch "Let's Talk iPhone" Live Stream

Apple has announced to the staff at its Covent Garden retail store in London that the store will be closing early on Tuesday to prepare for a live streaming of the ‘Let’s Talk iPhone’ keynote for the press, according to a report by MacRumors.


MacRumors said Apple has notified staff members at its Covent Garden store that the store will be closing early next Tuesday to accommodate a press gathering.

"The store will be closing at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, significantly earlier than its usual 9:00 p.m. closing time. The media event will begin at 6:00 p.m. London time," it said.

It quoted a message to the team as saying the Covent Garden Store "will be hosting a keynote streaming event next Tuesday 4th October."

According to the message, the event will be a press-only event, but there are currently no further details on what will be presented.

"This is a really exciting event for our store and we are passionate about delivering an outstanding Covent Garden experience," it said.

On Oct. 4, Apple is expected to introduce its upcoming iPhone 5, which promises several new features.

Here's a report from Reuters about the event:

The latest generation of the iPhone — still the smartphone industry's gold standard after four years — is expected to see the light of day this Tuesday, just in time for the holidays.
Even in a dismal economy, consumers should again line up in droves for a souped-up device that also marks Cook's first major product launch since taking over from Jobs in August.
The so-called iPhone 5 is widely expected to have a bigger touchscreen and faster processor than the current iPhone 4, which helped the company stay a step ahead of rivals in an increasingly competitive smartphone market.
Its challenge will be to "wow" consumers with yet more game-changing innovations and top itself. The aging iPhone 4 is still an unqualified blockbuster: with more than 20 million sold in the third quarter that ended June 25 alone, it is likely to become the world's top-selling smartphone.
