The new iPhone will see daylight in September

Apple typically takes the wraps off new iPhones in September, but the global health crisis has caused particular challenges for this year’s generation of devices, with some analysts claiming that a later than usual unveiling is more likely.

But according to information published on Twitter by @ihacktu, the iPhone 12 lineup is still expected to see daylight in September.

Worth emphasizing, however, is that while the device could be announced in September, this doesn’t necessarily mean that sales of all models in the range would begin the same month as well. Previously, people close to the matter said that at least one iPhone 12 model could hit the shelves at a later time.

Online events

Today’s alleged leak indicates that the iPhone 12 unveiling is set for September 8, the same day when Apple plans to introduce a new-generation Apple Watch, a new iPad, and even the AirPower. The lineup more or less makes sense, as we’ve known for a while that Apple was working not only on the iPhone 12, but also on the Apple Watch Series 6, both due in the fall.

Interestingly enough, the leakster claims that a second Apple event is scheduled for October 27 when the Cupertino-based tech giant is expected to announce a new iPad Pro and new MacBooks running on Apple silicon.

Both events are likely to take place online, and this is something that is almost certain. The rest of the details here should be taken with a pinch of salt since there’s no confirmation just yet.

This year’s iPhone generation will include four different models, namely a 5.4-inch device, two different 6.1-inch iPhones (one a successor to the iPhone 11 and another one an upgraded iPhone 11 Pro), as well as a 6.7-inch iPhone Pro Max.
