Apple will apparently hold a conference on September 10 to officially launch iOS7 alongside two new iPhones. The iPhone 5S, the new flagship and the iPhone 5C, the low-cost smartphone for developing markets.
The real question is how long will Apple wait until the iPhones to come markets worldwide, with this new leak, it may only be 10 days until we see the iPhones in the stores and on the web and Apple may open pre-orders as soon as the event ends.
This new leak only details Japan and Greece as the two countries to get the iPhone, but considering both of these are not main countries Apple ships to, we believe the release is worldwide on September 20.
Even though Apple is currently hitting shortages on the iPhone 5S due to the fingerprint sensor, we believe under Tim Cook’s management they will push for a quick release and work to make sure they have enough stock before the end of Q4.
The iPhone 5C is apparently going to be Apple’s golden product, coming at the price of about $399 – 499, it will push iOS’ dominance in the developing markets, which are currently diluted with cheap Android smartphones.
Last year over 5 million pre-orders were made for the iPhone 5, analysts suspect the pre-orders will be larger for the new iPhone, possibly hitting 7 million. The iPhone 5C will hit even more sales, with some analysts saying it could hit 20 million sales in the first month.
