New Apple tech in 5 days?

Are apple about to launch a brand new line of tech? Or is all the hype just over the new iPhone 5S & 5C?

We are all aware that the new iPhone 5S & 5C will launch this month but the invitation (image above) has others abuzz that a new line could also be launched

So we wait to see what next weeks launch brings - will it be something new an innovative? Or is it just clever marketing to create interest?
