There are many rumors that Apple devices could be delayed this year due to COVID-19 and other factors external to the Cupertino company. As well, It looks like Jon Prosser has insider information on potential Apple filing dates. In this sense we can say that Prosser failed a lot in his predictions about WWDC this past June, we will see what happens this time.
In this tweet posted by Prosser You can read the date of possible presentation of the devices and they include the iPhone 12 and the rest of the devices that Apple could present in September:
New, adjusted Apple dates!
Apple Watch & iPad
- Via press release
- Week 37 w / c Sep 712 iPhone event
- Week 42 w / c Oct 12iPhone 12 devices
- Preorders week 42 w / c Oct 12
- Shipping week 43 w / c Oct 19iPhone 12 Pro devices
- Preorder and shipping in Nov (no exact date yet)- Jon Prosser (@jon_prosser) August 12
The Apple Watch Series 6 could arrive along with the rest of the devices, as Prosser says, a little before the iPhone 12. In this sense, it is expected to arrive earlier since the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro have accumulated delays due to the lack of the 5G chip that Qualcomm supplies and due to issues of the coronavirus pandemic.
IPads could also be launched alongside Apple Watch, so we look forward to a month of September with news regarding devices. We have to wait to see what is true in these possible release dates, what is clear is that we will have a keynote, then we will see when the devices can be purchased although in the case of the Apple Watch and the iPad there seems to be no stock problems.
