APPLE is readying up a brand new iPhone that’ll launch in just a few weeks, and The Sun can reveal the most likely day we’ll see it.
We’ve examined historical iPhone launches to determine exactly when Apple will probably unveil – and then release – the rumoured iPhone 11.
The iPhone 11 is what we’re calling Apple’s next smartphone, expected to launch later in 2019.
The handset is tipped to be a direct sequel to last year’s iPhone models, and will likely boast powerful specs, an amazing camera, and a swanky design.
Apple is a creature of habit, sticking to an obvious pattern for iPhone releases each year.
The big launch event always takes place in September, and generally falls early on in the month – on a Tuesday or Wednesday, typically.
This year, the likeliest dates for an Apple event are Tuesday, September 10 or Wednesday, September 11.
Of course, Apple is very unlikely to host an event on September 11, given that the day is a memorial for the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City in 2001.
So our money is on the former, so mark it in your calendars.
But the iPhone won’t actually arrive in stores on launch day. You’ll have to wait about a week and a half to actually buy one.
Pre-orders will likely become available on Friday, September 13.
And our best guess is that the phone will turn up in your local Apple Store on Friday, September 25.
How iPhone sizes have changed over the years
Predicting the price of the iPhone 11 is a little trickier, so we asked the experts.
According to Dan Ives, of Wedbush Securities, we can expect familiar pricing to the 2018 roster of smartphones.
The top model will likely keep a similar price, while the base model will get even cheaper.
“While the next version of [iPhone] XS will have similar £1,000 price points, we believe the next version of [iPhone] XR will have price tags in the £600 range – a 20% cut from the £740 today,” he explained.
He said Apple needs “to lose their pricing hubris” on the iPhone XR, and focus on Chinese customers who are less willing to pay over the odds for smartphones – given the cheaper handsets widely available locally.
Apple hasn’t made any announcements about the iPhone 11 yet however, so take all leaks, rumours and predictions with a pinch of salt.
