Apple's Big iPhone 6 Event Will Have A Special Historical Significance For The Company

Apple will return to the Flint Center for the first time in 30 years to announce its newest batch of products, including two new smartphones and the company's first wearable device for the wrist.

That's a big deal. The historic site is where a bowtie-wearing 28-year-old Steve Jobs first took the stage to unveil the world's first truly personal computer: The Macintosh.

And in the same way that unveiling in January 1984 effectively drove the crowd in attendance into a frenzy - and put Apple on the map - Tuesday's event could similarly prove to be Apple's defining moment under the leadership of its new CEO Tim Cook.
