The invitation-only event will be held on March 7 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, the company said on Tuesday.

Apple's invitation did not divulge details of the event, just that we have something you really have to see. And touch. The invitation also had a partial picture of a device resembling the iPad.

Apple launches are some of the hottest events on the tech calendar, scrutinized by fans, investors, the media and industry insiders alike.
