Apple (AAPL.O) has opened a lottery for US retail employees to work on its September product event, journalist Mark Gurman reports. An internal memo says selected staff will assist with queue management, guest registration, ushering and support for security. Apple told employees the event will occur in the first half of September but gave no firm date. Historically iPhone launches fall on the second Tuesday or Wednesday of the month; with US Labor Day on Sept. 7 (Monday) a Wednesday event is marginally more likely. The September launch will be the first major product event under CEO John Ternus, who succeeds Tim Cook on Sept. 1.
