Image via CrunchBaseApple will host its next big event Sept. 7, according to the latest rumors.Every September for the past few years,
Apple has unveiled the latest updates to its line of iPod media players. The
Japanese Website Kodawarisan is predicting that Apple will host
this year’s event Sept. 7 (by which time it’ll be Sept. 8 in Japan), and use it
to announce a new line of iPods.
In addition, Kodawarisan claims Apple will
launch the iPhone 5 sometime in the late September/early October timeframe. The
Website seems unclear on whether the smartphone’s initial announcement will come
during the Sept. 7 event, but apparently told the blog MacRumors that its
information came from a knowledgeable (and unnamed) source.
Rumored features of the iPhone 5 include
Apple’s A5 processor, an
8-megapixel camera, and a larger screen.
Tech publications have generally focused on
September or October as a possible launch date for the iPhone 5. AllThingsD, speaking to unnamed sources “with
knowledge of the situation,” is claiming the latter as the unveiling month. That
conflicts a recent post by tech blog Gizmodo, whose own source—someone supposedly
within AT&T—claims employee vacation requests for late September have been
denied.
“Historically the only time they’ve done
this was for an iPhone release,” read that email. “So we’re looking at the last
two weeks of September.”
