WSJ new iPhone Screen Production in June - indicate August release date?

  • Posted: 16 May 2012 05:35 PM

    If (big if) this date is right and the previous reports of scaling back current iPhone production, supported by the earnings comments on iPhone sales, are correct, then it would seem like an early August release date is looking very possible in the US at the very least.

    Thoughts if this June date is correct? Would Apple really need to order up parts for an October launch in June? Alleged spare parts are already starting to leak as well.

    If they are planning to have same 90% plus YOY growth, they’ll have to start making them faster and earlier. Then again maybe they want to release it even earlier for US and few other countries etc.

    Ignore ALL the rumors.

    Remember the last few rounds with the iPhone, where 75% of ALL the rumors were dead wrong?

    It is ALWAYS that way.
