Apple is getting ready to celebrate half a century in business, and the company intends to throw a major party to mark the occasion. New reports indicate that the technology brand is planning an elaborate event at its Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California.
The upcoming birthday gathering will serve as the grand finale for a series of celebrations Apple has been hosting all across the globe over the past few weeks.
What to expect from the party at Apple Park
The exact date is not officially confirmed, but Apple was founded on April 1, 1976. This suggests the California celebration will happen on or very close to that day. Rumors point to the party taking place under the famous rainbow arches located in the center of the Apple Park campus.
Previous anniversary events in cities like New York and Chengdu featured big musical performances. Because of this pattern, reporters expect a major headline act to play at this final headquarters party.
John Ternus could take a major role during the celebration
This event might be more than just a look back at the last fifty years. Industry watchers expect John Ternus to take a prominent role during the celebration. Ternus currently leads hardware engineering at Apple and is widely considered the top candidate to replace Tim Cook as the next chief executive.
Putting him center stage at such a historic company event would be a clear signal about who will guide the brand into its next chapter.
