Apple appears to have inadvertently confirmed its rumored events planning feature, dubbed "Invites", ahead of an official announcement. The company's iCloud page now lists "Invites" as one of the key features of its iCloud Plus subscription, despite the feature not being available yet. The leak was first spotted by MacRumors.

The iCloud page update reveals that Invites will be included in the iCloud Plus package, which starts at $0.99 per month. However, Apple remains tight-lipped about the feature's details, leaving users wondering what Invites will entail and whether it will be a standalone app or integrated into an existing one, such as Calendar.

Last month, code discovered in an iOS 18.3 beta by 9to5Mac hinted at the development of an Invites app, designed to help users plan in-person events and manage invitations. While Apple has yet to comment on the feature, the iCloud page update suggests that Invites may be closer to launch than initially thought.

The Invites feature is likely to be a welcome addition to Apple's ecosystem, particularly for users who rely on the company's products for event planning and organization. With the rise of digital event planning tools, Apple's entry into this space could potentially disrupt the market and provide users with a more seamless experience.

As Apple continues to expand its services offerings, the inclusion of Invites in iCloud Plus may signal a broader strategy to provide users with a more comprehensive suite of tools for managing their personal and professional lives. While details remain scarce, the accidental confirmation of Invites has generated significant buzz, and users will be eagerly awaiting more information on the feature's release and capabilities.

The leak also raises questions about Apple's approach to announcing new features and services. The company is known for its tightly controlled messaging and carefully orchestrated product launches. The accidental confirmation of Invites may indicate a shift in Apple's strategy or, at the very least, a minor misstep in the company's typically polished communication efforts.

As more information becomes available, it will be interesting to see how Invites fits into Apple's broader ecosystem and how users respond to the new feature. One thing is certain, however: Apple's leak has generated significant excitement, and the tech community will be watching closely for further developments.
