iPhone 7 release date
If we were betting folk, we'd bet the house on the fact the iPhone 7 will launch in September 2016. Apple sticks to a schedule and the last few iPhones have all been launched in the month of September. Autumn is also exactly when iOS 10is due. It just makes sense for September.
There's now additional evidence pointing in that direction too, with reputable tipster @evleaks claiming that it will be launched during the week of September 12. He followed that up with more specific details - saying it will be available for pre-order on Friday September 9 and land in stores on September 16.
That suggests the announcement will happen sometime on the week of September 5, so we shouldn't have long to wait.
If Apple follows its usual timings we're probably looking at September 6 or 7 - and a back to school offer for free Beats headphones ends on September 5, which might be more than a coincidence, since they're likely to be in increased demand once the seemingly headphone port-free iPhone 7 is announced .
TechRadar's take: Don't book holiday in the first half of September if you want to see everything about the launch, and we'd bet Tuesday 6 September will be the day. Last year, Apple moved things to a Wednesday but the previous two years saw the iPhone emerge blinking into the light on the second day of the week.
