Boston, MA 07/31/2014 (wallstreetpr) – Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) will perhaps declare the next-era iPhone6 at an event planned for September 16, according to a source with information of an Apple Store meeting. It is to be trailed by the first rollout on October 14, 2014.
Track record of Tuesday
Coincidentally, both the dates fall on Tuesday, which is incidentally the day Apple prefers to have its milestone declarations, excluding product launches. For instance, previous year’s iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c were unveiled at a special event on September 10, which was again a Tuesday. Also, iPad Air was declared a month later on Tuesday, October 22.
History of Fridays
Going by the record, October 14 is a dubious date for Apple to rollout the next-generation phone, since it’s not a Friday, given the fact that the giant company launches its products on Fridays. Apple has the convention to make the major announcements on Tuesday and has a track record of debuting products on Fridays. So it’s uncertain whether the company will consider releasing the potentially promising product, thereby breaking the convention. However, the person reporting the matter claimed that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) wants to make the release earlier in the week owing to increased consumer demand as well as access to over- adequate cache of devices.
An exception
Since Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) delivered its first iPhone in 2007, each of the flagship iPhone models of the company has hit the stores on a Friday, except for the iPhone 4, which made its first appearance on June 24, 2010 which was a Thursday.
Another convention
In addition, the assumed month-long wait between the reported announcement date of iPhone 6 and the suspected sale date is uncertain, as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) typically introduces iPhone models a week after a reveal. It also goes in opposition to the source’s claims of plentiful handset supply.
More products likely to come up
Reports also maintain that the company will have an extremely hectic October, probably because Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is planning other product launches too. However, detailed information could not be gathered.
