Apple's habits peg Sept. 7 for iPhone 7 reveal
Apple will unveil the newest iPhones in just over three weeks, on Wednesday, Sept. 7, if the company sticks to a well-worn groove that makes its biggest product launch predictable.
The date fits with previous iPhone cycles, notably last year's introduction of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
Apple unveiled those models on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2015, preceded by the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus on Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014; the iPhone 5S and 5C on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013; and the iPhone 5 on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012.
Like last year, a Wednesday roll-out is probable because of the Labor Day holiday in the U.S., which falls on Sept. 5. If Apple hosted the event on Tuesday, Sept. 6, employees would have to work on the off day to prepare, and the invited reporters and analysts would have to travel on Labor Day.
