Rumors have swirled around the April 24th event since the initial invitation went out a couple weeks ago. At the time, it only instructed recipients to save the date for a news announcement, leading to guesses that it could have to do with updates to the app, or the company’s potential hardware pursuits.
Now that the new flyer confirms the event will be about the mobile app, there are a couple of options with what could be debuted.

Additionally, according to a Bloomberg report, the company has been working on several changes to the free subscription that will make the service easier to use, especially for those accessing it on mobile devices.
