iPhone 8 Release Date Delayed: October Rumors Are Winning Steam

iPhone 8 release date rumors continue to point to a possible delay to next month.

iPhone 8 rumors continue to gain momentum as Apple approaches its fall media event. Although the rumors focus on some very special features, the iPhone 8 release date continues to elude consumers looking for their next phone.

While rumors initially seemed to have settled on a September release for the three rumored 2017 iPhone models, it now looks like the high-end model’s release will be delayed due to hiccups in the production process.

According to multiple reports including New note from Rosenblatt Analyst Jun Zhang said Apple’s iPhone 8 release will be delayed beyond the rumored iPhone 7s release date of September 22. Zhang cites manufacturing issues with the iPhone 8’s stainless steel metal frame as the reason for the delay.

The analyst says these manufacturing issues could push the iPhone 8 release date to late October or beyond.

Zhang’s comments are in line with some of the recent conversations about the iPhone 8 release date. Wall Street Journal says errors in the production process pushed back the phone’s production by a month. A report TechCrunch He claims there will be a gap between the iPhone 7s release date and the arrival of the iPhone 8.

Others, including the reputable firm KGI Securities, believe there will be all three iPhones. released at the same time in September. The firm said that Apple will have less than 4 million iPhone 8 units to be released. Apple sold 13 million iPhone 6s in its first week of release.

Another report from Germany claims German carriers are preparing for an iPhone 8, iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus release on September 22.

Apple and its carrier partners are expected to start taking iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus pre-orders on September 15, though it’s unclear whether the iPhone 8 will join them.

If the iPhone 8 release date is delayed, it will break from a model the company has been using for five years and counting. Apple has stuck to a very predictable model with a launch event in early September, followed by pre-orders and an iPhone release in mid to late September.

The last iPhone to arrive in October was the iPhone 4s in 2011.

The iPhone 8, iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus will be a small part of the company’s annual media event. Apple is expected to announce several new products, including the Apple Watch 3 with built-in LTE and the Apple TV 5 with 4K and HDR support.

It is also expected to detail the release dates for the iOS 11 update, macOS High Sierra update, watchOS 4 update and tvOS 11 update.

Apple’s iOS 11 update is expected to power the company’s new iPhones. Those using older iPhone models should get the iOS 11 update before the iPhone 7s and iPhone 8 arrive.

Apple isn’t talking about its new iPhones yet, but the company has started to officially unveil the upcoming version of iOS 11.

The company usually confirms specific iOS release dates during media events, and we expect the company to set the iOS 11 release date on stage.

Like iPhone versions, iOS release dates usually follow a pattern.

In 2016, the company confirmed the iOS 10 release date on stage alongside the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. iOS 10 arrived on September 13 for older iPhones and iPads, a few days before it was released on September 16.

If the rumored iPhone release dates hold firm, we expect Apple to put the iOS 11 release date somewhere between the start of iPhone pre-orders on September 15 and the iPhone 7s/iPhone 8 release date on September 22.

Apple’s live streaming begins at 10:00 PM Pacific on Tuesday and is available on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Safari running iOS 9 or later, a Mac with Safari on macOS v10.11 or later, or Microsoft on Windows 10 Requires a PC with Edge.
