I would believe so. Most iOS releases were dropped in mid September. If preorders were on the 11th and Watches and iOS 14 released on the 18th, it would line up with the release schedule.

Prosser: iPad and Apple Watch Series 6 Press Release Planned for September 8 [Updated]

There are a lot of Prosser fanboys here today.
So anyone who's not a hater is a fanboy?
They released the refreshed iMacs through a press release and no issues there! They issued the iPhone SE 2 earlier this year through press release and no issues there. I think Apple's supply chain can handle the Apple Watch Series 6 as well this year.I would be surprised if Apple would issue a press release and not being able to ship pretty much immediately, eg within a day or 2/3 ... I find it hard to believe that AW6 is ready to ship next week, the pandemic has put everything on hold for a month or 2 or even more, product schedules will be impacted.
I guess we will find out in less than 2 days ... as always, hoping I'm wrong
If this rumor proves true for Prosser, it’s just another Mark for his credibility. I know others don’t really care for what he has to say and he ‘gloats’, but he’s been a staple for Apple with his predictions being on target aside from WWDC.
Can you please stop giving this man credit for his predictions!
It is absolutely logical that Apple would announce the Watch and iPad next week based on the product filings and based on the history of events.
Anyone could determine that!!
What's annoying is that now people will give him credit for being a 'leaker'.
He's not a leaker, he's no better than a fortune teller!!

As I remember, AOD was not rumored beforehand, so here’s hoping for another unexpected feature upgrade!
I want more health features, so to me, S5 was a waste of time.
I agree its likely a bit too soon for the next iPad Pro, any and all of the iPad/ Air/ mini are definitely due a bump though, a minor bump to the A12 for the iPad with the above redesigned A14 based Air seem very plausible, and I'm not sure about the mini, it was brought back at parity with the Air, but with no leaks it sounds like it might just get an internals bump if anything? The A4 and A5 both debuted in the iPad before making their way into the iPhone so it wouldn't be completely unprecedented for the A14 to appear first in a new iPad Air
The Apple Silicon Mac(s) could require extra system integration and testing time due to the new architecture.
So perhaps they released the A14X for mid-volume production (for both Macs and iPad Pros), before ramping up the A14 to the extremely high volume production levels needed to fill the distribution channels (for iPhones and lower cost iPads). That would delay the iPhone announcement, but not the iPad one.
That makes no sense at all. It's called a reputation.
If he had a reputation for being the boy who cried wolf...why would anyone believe him?
But, he has a reputation for being correct. Which makes this believable. That's all. Believable.
By your logic, it makes sense to believe a liar.
But then, why would Apple even release a new watch this year?

Find me a more reliable crap-thrower and I'll listen to him instead of Prosser.
he said "this week" not the upcoming week (so until tonight)....the words game

I feel like the first device we see with A14 has to be iPhone 12. Really skeptical they would introduce it in any other device before the 12 unveiling. iPad Air 4 will probably have A13, no?
Considering iOS has been in beta for 100+ days in 7 of the past 8 years, and we’re only at <80 days, and assuming watchOS 7 needs iOS 14, I think we’re looking at at least 3-4 more weeks until a release.

He’s just pulling things out of his BUTT!
Interesting to see Gurman thinks the iPhone event will be in September when all the rumours have been pointing towards October.
Both Apple Watch and iPad Air supplies are constrained on Apple’s website right now so all signs point to an imminent announcement. Tuesday will be interesting, that’s for sure.
