TheiPhone 12is still coming this year, butAppleis launching its first5G phonea bit later than usual – alongside new iPads – according to a sometimes-right leaker.
October is when Apple leakerJon Prossersuspects the iPhone 12 andiPad 2020will arrive, and if true, it invalidates theSeptember 8 launch datethat’s floating around.
The tweet offers no context as to whether October will be the reveal month or the ship-to-customers month (it may be both), but an iPhone 12 delay makes sense.
It’s likely more than just a supply chain issue: manyApple Stores remain closeddue to the Covid-19 pandemic, and, importantly, given the economic uncertainty, people may not want to rush out and upgrade to expensive new iPhones in September.
Is this a credible iPhone 12 leak?
Apple doesn’t officially comment on its planned launch events until about two weeks beforehand. So we may not know if the September 8 date is null and void until the end of this month, and the October date may not be revealed until mid-September.
Prosser has been responsible for some bold, inevitably proven accurate leaks – newMacBook Pro 13-inchandiPhone SE 2020timings were right – but hisWWDC 2020predictions were off:iOS 14wasn’t called iPhoneOS andAirPowerisn’t coming back.
The iPhone 12 launch event – which will almost certainly be digital and not in person – seems to be a moving target at this point, one that’s situated between two months, with the latter timeframe becoming more believable by the day.
