![]() That could be for something non-Apple related, but with all rival handset makers steering clear of iPhone launch dates, I can’t imagine what else that would be. ![]() One reality check I would throw in at this point is the AT&T leak only refers to a “Merchandising Reset” - a period where employees spend time reorganising stores for new inventory and displays. That’s a 10 day gap versus the 16 day gap for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, however were slightly quicker to market having been announced on September 9th, pre-orders opening on September 12th (again) and arriving in retailers on September 19th. On October 23, 2012, a new iMac was announced (for a November/December release) with a substantially thinner edge, new Apple Fusion Drive, faster processors (Intel Core i5 and i7 Ivy Bridge) and graphics along with updates to the ports, but with the same overall depth (stand depth: 8 inches (20.3 cm)). This slots in perfectly with the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus pre-orders began on September 12th and they hit shop floors on September 25th. Last week Bloomberg attained information confirming a September 7th unveiling (the date I predicted a week earlier) and Bloomberg and Blass both expect pre-orders to begin on September 9th. ![]() Of greater substance is the fact AT&T’s leaked date ties in more closely with past iPhone release schedules.
