he definitely does not. he is a pure photoshop boy trying to stay relevant and sell 3d printed iPhones 8 cutouts.
Vertpin is partially accurate with his Post. Geskin releases more 'Generated' renders than he does make accurate predictions or legitimate leaks. In The past, a lot of what Geskin stated has not been true, which he usually retracts Later on and states that the rumor or leak was false. Although, he is semi more accurate than some of these analysts that are nothing more than mudslingers. I still trust Kuo over anyone else with his predictions and overall track record.

I think it will be earlier than that.. MY FAN account AT&T phone subsidy upgrade eligibility date just moved up to September 13th, 2017 from October 29th, 2017. ;-)
A vast majority of the Amazon listings (3rd party vendors) for iPhone 8 cases and screen protectors are accompanied by "In Stock September 23, 2017" message. September 23 falls on a Saturday. Since Apple typically releases iPhones on Fridays, this could potentially mean that the release date will be September 22.
Just speculating.

That's probably just a guess. I don't think manufacturers are given the release dates. If the iPhone is released september 16, for example, they would bump up the shipping date or keep it as is because their product isn't ready yet.
My guess is Sept 12th keynote, Sept 15th preorder, Sept 22nd release date.
Interestingly, mine's saying I'm not going to be eligible until Sept. 2018, despite being on the Next 12 plan and upgrading at launch last fall.
(1) Keynote will be on a Tuesday/Wednesday - same as the last few years.
(2) It will be available to preorder that Friday.
(3) It will launch the following Friday.
This is the pattern used for the last 5ish years so....
I’d assume (given there’s usually 7-10 days lead time for invites to the event)....
Keynote: September 12
Preorders: September 15
Release: September 22
This lines up with your supposed blackout dates.

You're not given an opportunity to trade in at the 12-month mark?

Ignore that notification - it displays the date on which your phone will be fully paid off. I upgraded my wife's line under Next 12 in January of this year and the displayed eligibility date is January 2019. When you select the "upgrade this line" option, it tells you what the remaining balance is until you're upgrade-eligible.
today someone shared for me this leak
it said sept 12 evemt and release on sept 22
That's not a leak it's a graphic, if it was Apple made it would have a tag line written on it.
well mine WAS in the fall of 2017, and I have seen this action before where AT&T will artificially pull it forward. Now I just have to figure out where I can purchase with a subsidy lock, probably only at AT&T store or online, which is MUCH less favorable than on apple.com on go day.Interestingly, mine's saying I'm not going to be eligible until Sept. 2018, despite being on the Next 12 plan and upgrading at launch last fall.
I always have been before, which was why I was a little rattled by what I saw when I looked last night. I'm assuming it'll go back to what the actual date is here soon; otherwise, imma be on the horn to AT&T until they fix it.

Aha! Thank you. I just checked again and that info has now been added to the screen. Last night, all it said was "Trade-in eligibility: 12 months. Ends Sept. 9, 2018." Now it also advises that I can upgrade once I pay an additional $40.32 on my existing phone. Woohooooo!
Looking back, I found that an AppleCare employee blackout date was leaked in 2013. <https://www.macrumors.com/2013/08/3...-applecare-employees-from-september-15-to-28/>
In 2013, the announcement was on Tues, Sept 10 and the preorder was the 13th. The restriction dates for apple care employees was Sept 15-28, so just after pre-orders opened up.
Interestingly, America's Mobile World Congress will be from Sept 12-14, 2017 in San Francisco {source: Apple iPhone 8 Event — Speculation Thread}.
We'll find out soon enough though.
