Could Apple Be Announcing the next iPhone on September 7?

[Maura]

MacRumors has a story today from Japanese site Kodawarisan that says that according to their sources, Apple is planning to hold its fall media event on September 7. As MacRumors notes, over the past three years, Apple has usually held some sort of event in the first part of September, announcing the new iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffle on September 1 last year, for example. With the next iPhone due to arrive in shops sometime this October, if the most recent rumours are to be believed, then it would seem likely that Apple would be announcing it sometime in September, so if they are having a media event on September 7, it would make sound sense for Apple to make the announcement then. According to MacRumors, Kodawarisan is a longstanding Japanese Apple site, and has previously correctly predicted the launch of a new Mac Mini, back in 2009. As ever, watch this space!

I don't care about the phone. Can I get iOS 5, oh how does next week sound? Lol.

don't think so. I'd go for October. In September maybe new iPod touches ... who knows.

iOS 5 should be released first before the iPhone 5. Still my mind set.

That's my mindset too

Well that mindset would be appropriate since Apple changed the iPhone timeline this year! Why not release a new firmware before they release the new iPhone hardware! Lol.

Agree!! However people will be begging for the iPhone 5 once it is announced due to the hardware upgrades
