No one knows but I'm thinking Wednesday. Just a guess
It's Tuesday 9pm - EST when it lifts, not Wednesday. Well depending on the location.

Probably not unboxing but major tech sites like The Verge will have a review up
. The exact time will be 9:01pm like last year.
Last year it was Wednesday though wasn't it? You're saying it's moved to Tuesday this year?Probably not unboxing but major tech sites like The Verge will have a review up
It has never moved its always been Tuesday at 9:01 for the last 3 generations (at least).
18th for the iPhone 5, 17th for iPhone 5S, 16th for the iPhone 6. Tuesday 9pm - EST.

Don't count on Gizmodo having first review...
Scrap that, it's posted 9pm EST so it's Tuesday all around unless you're EU/AU/ASIA.

Gizmodo has been forgiven. They have been invited to the past few Apple events. They probably get review units again as well. Probably a Tim Cook decision. Steve was the one that really held the grudge against Gizmodo.
Media embargo? As in media can't report on it? I saw a commercial for it today.....
Commercials are paid advertisements by Apple so there is no embargo. The embargo the OP was referring to is reviews from publications like the Verge and WSJ.
No he means like a review. It's so that publications like The Verge and Engadget don't feel rush to post a review.
If an embargo doesn't exist then the review can be rushed and the review might not truely reflect the device because the reviewers wouldn't have as much time with device. Apple enforces an embargo on the device so that they have all had equal time. These devices were most likely given after the Septemebr keynote after their hands on, but I'm uncertain about these details.
(Publications would rush a review as fast as possible to gain audience and the information could be incorrect since they wouldn't of had time to actually spend a solid amount of time with the device which is where the embargo would give a honest amount of time for a solid review to be written up).
Don't know why my post is so over complicated haha.
Most reviews we'll see this week will be the same old thing. Not a must upgrade but the best iphone yet. Cue the usual apple puppets who post reviews with perhaps only one or two that will actually comment on what matters. Which one still has any credibility? Too negative and Apple takes their invite away.
Ars Technica is the best. After that, there's a big drop. So many vie for worst review. It's too hard to pick just one.
