  45-75 days to be more honest.  Its conceivable that some software doesnt pass the final test and we get another delay.

  I’m sure the suppliers are cranking away, 48 hours a day if they could.

  Sep. 21 is the release date until we hear otherwise.  Jim Dalrymple has a flawless record on this stuff.

  So that’s 45 days, just about.

  I’m pretty sure there’s 10-digit incentives for these factories to be cranking away as fast as they possibly can. In Sharp’s case, it might actually be the difference between staying independent, going bankrupt or getting bought out.

  Special behaviour of IOS6 running in a simulator forced to a 640 x 1136 display:

  As expected, it displays an extra row of icons - but only at that resolution.

  I doubt the multi-color concept is happening with the next iPhone.  Apple had enough trouble with just the one color.

  I’m getting used to the “two-tone”, two-material back, though.  Who knows…maybe it’s easier to change the battery.

  Interesting if remotely true.  Particularly since the new iPad didn’t exactly get a marginal increase in battery capacity.

  I dislike linking to Gizmodo, but they have interesting speculation here:

  The original link is encouraging

  PED gave the story a bump an hour or so ago.

  Pre-orders tend to start quickly after an iPhone announcement.  However, the same day?  I’ll wait for Emperor Confirmation on that one.
