Apple confirmed a few weeks later this year. A few generally means 2 or 3, not 4.
So perhaps the week of Sept 21 and shipping in early to mid October.

Trying to define the meaning of their “a few weeks” seems pretty thin. It’s an exceptional case. They can have it mean whatever they need it to mean. 6-7 weeks, for instance, could also be said to be “a few weeks”. 100 weeks would be harder to argue that it’s only “a few”.

Well, of course I'm purely speculating. I'm only guessing they're not that late. I mean if they were 4-8 weeks off, it would be described as a month or two.

Also remember, this was mentioned at their latest fiscal reporting. I'd think they'd want to be somewhat accurate to investors and shareholders.
