Apple to Hold iPhone Event on September 9

[MacRumors]

Apple will launch its next-generation iPhone 6 at an event on Tuesday, September 9, reports Re/code. The company has reportedly scheduled a big media event for that date and in the past, September has been a month reserved for the introduction of new iPhones.

Following the September 9 introduction, the iPhone 6 will likely be available to customers on a corresponding Friday roughly a week and a half later, possibly September 19.

Apple has scheduled a big media event for Tuesday, Sept. 9 -- a date to which Apple numerologists will strain to attribute significance. As with September events past, the focal point of this one is to be Apple's next-generation iPhones, which are expected to feature larger displays of 4.7 and 5.5 inches and run speedy new A8 processors. Apple declined comment.

Apple's iPhone 6 launch event will see the debut of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6, which is expected to include a thinner, lighter chassis with an iPod-touch style design along with an A8 processor and an improved camera. The event may also see the introduction of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6, which is said to be experiencing production issues and may ship to customers somewhat later than the 4.7-inch iPhone 6, in late 2014 or early 2015.

Re/code, composed of the former AllThingsD team, has a perfect track record when it comes to launch date reports. The site has also suggested Apple is aiming to introduce the iWatch at an October event.

Update 11:35 AM PT: The Wall Street Journal has confirmed Re/code's report, with a source pointing towards a September 9 debut date for the iPhone 6. Bloomberg has confirmed the September 9 event date as well.

Uh ohh it's finally that time again!!! I am excited!

 

[LeGacY X]

Can't wait!!

 

[ValSalva]

I'll believe this when Jim Dalrymple gives us a "yep" or a "nope". But it makes sense for the 9th or the 16th of September.

 

[Brian Buttplug]

Yay,

My iPhone 3S is not as great as it used to be. Especially the battery.

 

[guitarman777]

I think I'll save my excitement until after Jim Dalrymple confirms. =D

 

[Snookerman]

My body is ready.

 

[Serban]

Who is Jim Dalrymple ?

 

[stuffradio]

This coincides nicely with my idea of the next iOS 8 beta being the Gold Master, because beta 5 expires October 6. So Gold Master comes out September 9.

 

[rdlink]

Yay,

My iPhone 3S is not as great as it used to be. Especially the battery.

Uh-oh. Get ready. You're about to be introduced to a really tragic new version of iOS. It's horrible, and will ruin the lives of three generations of your progeny. /S

 

[stuffradio]

Yay,

My iPhone 3S is not as great as it used to be. Especially the battery.

My iPhone 4 is very good still, but it doesn't get anymore updates. New iPhone here I come!

 

[WhackyNinja]

iPhone 6. September 9th.

6. 9.

69.

Lol nice coincidence

 

[dlewis23]

Can't wait

I'll believe this when Jim Dalrymple gives us a "yep" or a "nope". But it makes sense for the 9th or the 16th of September.

Given that this is Re/code (Walt Mossberg), I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is accurate.

And released on the 17th, maybe the 19th of September? I don't buy the october release date - it'd completely mess up their holiday quarter numbers to lose a month of sales.

 

[sunapple]

"Apple declined comment." I actually was expecting Apple to say: "Yes, and here's our future product roadmap too."

 

[WhackyNinja]

Also iPhone 6 and September 9.

9-6=3

Apple confirms Half-Life 3

 

[BuffaloTF]

iPhone 6. September 9th.

6. 9.

69.

Lol nice coincidence

6. 9. Logical transitions of 3... working backwards 9. 6. 3. Half Life 3 confirmed.

(wrong board, but whatever)

edit: I got ninja'd by a few seconds...

predictions: iPhone 6 4.7 release in Oct, iPhone 6 Mammoth in March, 2015

 

[Cougarcat]

Who is Jim Dalrymple ?

He's an Apple journalist who Apple leaks information to. He will confirm or deny rumors with his trademark "Yep/Nope." AFAIK he's never been wrong.

This is almost as good. Re/code is run by Walt Mossberg, and Apple would leak things to him when he worked at the WSJ/AllThingsD.

Why Oct? iPhones have usually come out a week after. Sept 19. Seems like a good bet.

But if the 5.5" does exist, given the lack of leaks, I don't think we'll see it for at least a few months.

 

[RedOrchestra]

Hopefully with adequate stock.

 

[elev8d]

Heyohhh! First bit of exciting news in a while. I hope it's true. I'm taking it with a grain of skepticism since we received a report not to long ago about it being pushed to October.

 

[Baerok]

That means it will be available to buy from September 19. New iOS is always released 2 days before iPhone launch, so according to the schedule iOS 8 will debut on September 17.

 

[Born Again]

Can't innovate my a$$!

They increased the size of the iPhone!

You mean a grain of salt. If you took it with a grain of skepticism, that would mean you are hardly skeptical at all.

As for the event, I hope it's sooner than later.
