The day is nearly upon us, folks. According to a reputable source, the much-awaited iPhone 7 will apparently hit the shelves no later than Friday, September 16th.
Apple itself has yet to confirm or deny this rumor, but according to a tweet sent out by leaker Evan Blass, the next flagship handset will soon be released. The not-yet-official release date was originally not as precise, as Blass first posted that was going to release the new iPhone during the week of September 12.
Soon after his first tweet, people started replying about the confusion as to whether or not that date referred to the iPhone 7’s unveiling or the launch event. A follow-up tweet published on Saturday, July 23, quickly cleared things up.
Keeping in mind Blass’ unblemished track record regarding Apple rumors and the company’s history in releasing iPhones, it’s a safe bet that crowds have already planned to line up outside of Apple retail stores around the country on September 16.
Just to give some context for the rumor, some of the readers remember that the iPhone 6s was released by Apple on September 25 and iPhone 6 on September 9. Everything fits in place.
If that release date is true, it’s also easy to deduce the unveiling of the iPhone 7 will most likely be scheduled about 10-14 days prior to that. A quick glare at the calendar tells us that Tim Cook and co. might actually hit the stage on September 6 or 7, introducing the new smartphone to the world.
Meanwhile, how much do we know about the features included in the next-gen iPhone? According to pretty much every rumor out there, Apple is most likely saving the jaw-dropping features for the iPhone 7s (which may or may not be released as iPhone 8).
At the same time, the iPhone 7 is not to be overlooked, because a lot of interesting things could be rolling with it. In large part, those might be related to a huge advance forward in terms of camera technology.
But whether or not a dual camera system will be included, or whether iPhone 7 will be significantly larger, the truth is these are all rumors still. If Blass is to be believed, we might soon be sure, as we hold Apple’s new baby in our hands.
