We know that while the September event from Apple concluded with the announcements of new iPad lineup and the new Apple Watch Series 6 as well as the SE, there is still a hype among Apple fans and that is for the new iPhones coming later on. Some people thought that the company would announce new iPhones at the September event but we had already reported that this was not going to happen. The reason being production delays from China due to the pandemic causing the iPhone launch to be delayed this year. However, Apple is going to launch their iPhone 12 series just a month late this year, in October.
So the obvious question is when will the iPhones be announced in October. Well, the answer to this question is most likely going to be on “October 13”. This is according to a few reputed leakers working on Apple news as well as our estimated guess as well. So Jon Prosser has said that October 13 matches with what he has been told to be the announcement date as well.
Also, Apple usually unveils its new products on a Tuesday which also happens to be October 6 or 13 next month as they fall in the first half. So if Apple was to announce their iPhones on October 6, there is no way they have not yet sent out press invites for the event. Next up is October 13 which is quite possible to be the launch date since it is second week of the month as well as gives Apple time to make the phones available by October 20 at the earliest.
However, the bummer with this news is also that the iPhone 12 Pro series is going to be available even later compared to the iPhone 12 series. Like we saw with the iPad Air series from Apple this month, the availability of some of their products is delayed so it looks like the new iPhone 12 Pro series will be available only by November.
This year, Apple is going to launch an iPhone 12 Mini as well as iPhone 12 Max which are said to have a 5.4-inch and a 6.1-inch display respectively. All in all, we are all set to see the new iPhones launching on October 13 if our guess and the leaks turn out to be true but the availability of these phones will be delayed for sure and understandably so.
