The iPhone 13 was introduced on September 14, 2011, the iPhone 12 on September 15, 2020, the iPhone 11 on September 10, 2019, the iPhone X on September 12, 2017. Are there any surprises in store for us this year?
It could launch as planned, on September 13
It is well known that Apple usually unveils its new iPhone in September, and before that happens they have to officially announce it and send invitations. Right now it doesn’t seem like that was the case, but there’s still time.
The event it is usually announced 10 to 15 days before, so if the indicated date is September, the official confirmation could still arrive at the beginning of next September. This could be the date of the announcement because iPhone events are usually held in mid-September. There are those who suggest that the event would be held in the second week of September, between 13 and 14.
the informer iHacktu ileak indicates that the date will be September 13, 2022 following the previous launch patterns on the iPhone, except in 2020. It is the date that had been estimated by many for this event.
If so, pre-orders could arrive on September 16 and model availability on the 23rd. Considering that Apple usually holds the event a Tuesday in the second week of September, this would be just the exact date. Neither earlier nor later than expected.
Many rumors assure that it will be delayed
One of the main reasons why we could have to wait for the official presentation of the new iPhones are ongoing production problems which has been talked about for a while. Raw material shortages and COVID outbreaks in China could be responsible for the slower pace of smartphone production.
In the month of May we confirmed a approximate 3 week delay that would make one of the most desired iPhone 14 not have enough stock to put it up for sale. The iPhone 14 Max could be the one affected. the analyst Ming Chi Kuo He spoke about the delays some time ago saying that everything was under control.
In the middle of last month we still had data on the difficulty that the new iPhone 14 Max arrived on time of the presentation in the month of September, since the shipment of panels was very delayed at that time and could affect manufacturing delays, unless they have already anticipated these possible delays to arrive on time for the desired launch date.
In any case, they would have to speed up production considerably to get them there on time. It may also be that the others are launched and announced despite not having availability, although it is not most likely.
An informant affirms that the event will be before
Taking into account that we don’t have official confirmation yet and the dates that are, it is even possible that the event will occur earlier than expectedalthough it is not most likely. However, an Apple expert, Max Weinbach, points out that Apple could be considering holding the event earlier than expected, on september 6, in a pre-recorded session. This leaker ensures that the recordings are very advanced, so the event could finally be brought forward to anticipate the company’s income.
In any case, it will surely be September 13 or later, just on the expected date or with a certain delay taking into account the problems of production and shipment of components. We will not know anything until Apple makes a statement, which will be at least 10 days before the event.
What do you think will happen, will Apple manage to launch its new iPhone just in time like in other years or will the inconveniences of recent months overcome it?
