Leaker tells us when the iPhone 12 will be released

[Chris Smith]

• Apple confirmed the iPhone 12 release date delay rumors a few weeks ago when it said the new handsets would launch a few weeks later than the usual late September timeframe.
• A leaker who offered many accurate predictions about Apple’s moves recently shared the tentative iPhone 12 launch schedule on Twitter.
• Jon Prosser says the iPhone launch event will take place in mid-October, with the iPhone 12 supposed to launch a week later.
• The iPhone 12 Pro models could see further delays, as they’re expected to ship at some point in November.

The iPhone 12 launch delay is no longer a rumor, it’s a fact. Apple confirmed it during its latest earnings call a few weeks ago, saying that the new iPhones will arrive a few weeks later than the usual late September launch date we’re used to. It’s all because of the novel coronavirus health crisis, which impacted everything about normal life as we know it. This marks the first time when Apple confirms rumors that say an iPhone model would see significant launch delays. Apple had to delay two iPhone versions for two years in a row due to supply issues, but that news was delivered during the usual iPhone press event in September. The iPhone X had an early November 2017 launch date, as Apple suppliers were struggling to manufacture Face ID components. A year later, the iPhone XR was delayed to October following display supply issues. These rumors were never confirmed.

This year, all iPhone 12 will see delays, which is probably why Apple felt like it needed to disclose the matter. During the earnings call, the company did not offer any guidance for the September quarter on account of the pandemic. Those late September iPhone sales usually help with Apple’s bottom line for the period. Apple would never reveal the iPhone 12 release date before the announcement event, but a leaker known for his accurate Apple scoops this year has all that information.
