New iPhone pre-orders to start Sept. 9?

    Following up on his earlier leak suggesting that the next-generation iPhone will go on sale on Sept 16, Evan Blass has sent out a another tweet adding that iPhone pre-orders will begin on Sept. 9, and suggesting that readers can extrapolate the launch event date from there — likely to be Wednesday, Sept. 7, based on Apple’s prior event dates and the shorter Labor Day week.

    A Sept. 9 pre-order date with a Sept. 16 release date would be in line with most prior iPhone launches — Since the iPhone 4s release in October 2011, Apple has traditionally opened pre-orders one week prior to retail availability, although it’s worth noting that last year’s iPhone 6s launch had a two-week lead time for pre-orders.
