I can’t recall last years release but doesn’t MR usually throw a countdown up for big events? I was under the assumption that September 8th is when the 12 will be announced.

Unless it’s still all speculation

There is a rumor that there will be a press release announcement for the watch tomorrow along with the iPad, and iPhone release to happen next month.

Alright, that makes sense. Read about that (the watch and iPad announcement) but wasn’t sure if the iPhone would be included then released in October like the iPhone X did. Thanks. This is one odd release
 
What I like about this year, everybody’s thrown off. It’s not your ‘normal keynote experience’, especially being that it will be all digital, with staggered launches and then factor in ‘silent updates‘. This is what Apple wants, they don’t want to be predictable with everything, and In a way, I think this is a good thing, as there’s been a lot of disparity between different media sites reporting different dates/times.

Yeah for sure, making lemonade out of lemons. I totally believe that there are legitimate delays due to COVID but it might work in their favor. I'm just hoping that everybody goes for the 5.4" 12 so I can snap up the 6.1" without a delay :)

Realistically, iPhone launches have been on a decline for years now. Most launch day models have been readily available, it may be pushed out a week or two at the most. And then factor in how the economy has been in quite a few areas, a smart phone is absolutely the last thing somebody will buy. I don’t suspect you’ll be an issue to pre-order the model that you want, as long as you do so in a timely fashion online, with the 5.4 being the first to slip with dates onward.

Last iPhone I preordered was the 6s so this is good to hear!

Not for another month or so and they won't actually be release for another 2-3 months depending on the model.

Doesnt mean anything and Apple doesn't hold release events on a Wednesday. If Apple had an event coming in a week, we would already know about it. Prosser has been right all along. iPhone event isnt happening until Oct 12th with the low end models being released Oct 23rd. Nov for the Pro models, pathetic.

Nah. Prosser has been wrong many times now. What's worse though is he constantly makes excuses too.

I don't take much stock on in that screen grab either, but these days I think it's foolish to believe everything Prosser says.

he's been right about everything recently. iPhones aren't coming anytime soon, at least a month before any are released. Two months before you see a Pro model. Apple screwed up.

They do hold events on Wednesdays.

I suppose one of the reasons they usually hold them at the beginning of the week is the media coverage. Also the early reviews come out at the end of the week.

Lol! I’ve pretty much seen you on any and every thread about a release date, being butthurt because it hasn’t been released on your schedule. Have you emailed Tim personally yet? I think that should be your next move. Or better yet, switch to Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, or any other brand you think is more reliable than Apple 👍
