The rumor: At least some of Apple’s 2021 iPhones won’t be launching as late as the iPhone 12 lineup, according to Wedbush Securities (78.6% accurate, via 9to5Mac).
- The new phones may be coming as soon as the third week of September 2021, but Wedbush notes that “product model tweaks” could push some models to early October
- Apple launched iPhone 12 in October 2020, a break from the usual September release that started with iPhones 4S in 2011
Our take: All signs are pointing to the usual September release for at least some of the 2021 iPhones. This makes sense, of course, because the pandemic is finally coming to a close.
