Call it was you will, but factually, the last two iPhones have come in September. Ahead of the autumn equinox, the first day of fall. Which puts the launch during summer.

You are really being pedantic here. Probably just to prove a point.

No one calls mid September summer despite the autumn Equinox.

No one calls mid-June spring despite the Summer Solstice.

Summer would be great!

Read some rumors where some analysts believe it'll be in May/June, but safe bet seems to be September.

Personally, I'm hoping for a Summer launch. The sooner, the better. I'm ready to upgrade, and would love the thrill of a new iPhone 6.
 
That will be nice, I almost got a Samsung Note III this past year because I wanted a larger phone but I chose to stay on iOS and my iPhone 5

I have a galaxy S3 on a spare line and like the phone and OS. BUT, I find iOS for my iPads and iPhone way to handy, running my business. No way I am giving it up, especially if they give me a larger screen on my iPhone. To me a larger screen will be Apple iPhone Heaven. :)

Now if I could just have an SD card slot . . . . But I know it is not going to happen.

Still hoping the iPad Pro rumors are true!
 
Sept definitely still summer. 'socially' it's still short sleeve warm weather.

First weekend of Oct 131marathon here kicks of the migration from the big summer cycling events to the fall running season events.

Also for skiing, winter solstice kicks off winter, coincides when the lift tickets hike in price for the first day of winter.

Society has followed the sky for seasons for generations.
I definitely understand and agree with the actual definitions. What I'm saying is that in various parts of the world, when people in personal conversations say something general like "I'm planning a vacation next summer" or something like that, they often mean a general period of June, July, and August (often September isn't really included in what they are trying to convey by that).
 
Given how well the 5s is selling, it seems that they'd want to milk this for as long as they can. Unless of course they want to steal a little bit of thunder from the impending S5 release this spring. I'd be more inclined to think the September/October time frame.
 
The next iPhone will ship sometime in September. I don't see a good reason for Apple to change their release schedule.
 
Apple has established its product release cycles and it is doubtful they will change it as this would make the comparison of earnings on WallStreet more cloudy

I bet that it will still be available in some form as some will not want to change.

Funny as it seems many here do not wish to have a choice. Apple is not forcing anyone to buy the larger phone, it will be your choice as they will still have the iPhone 5 size available.

I can still hear the loud protests when rumors of the iPhone 5's larger screen were first released. :apple:
 
Here's what I think.
Summer: June-August
Fall: September-November
Winter: December-February
Spring: March-May
 
New Phone this summer?

No one calls mid September summer despite the autumn Equinox.



No one calls mid-June spring despite the Summer Solstice.


No one in your area maybe. When it's 90-100 degrees outside I call it summer. When the whether gets mild and leaves begin to fall I call it fall.
 
I honestly hope the rumors for a Spring/early Summer release aren't true. I don't think it will be, as most people who will be the early adopters will be people who are getting off their iPhone 5 contract which won't start ending until September.

Late Summer/Early Fall would be awesome. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a mid-October release so my contract will be up and I can go wait in line. :D
