Apple Expected to Announce iPhone 6 in Early September, With Launch Later in the Month

Rumors and past release date info have thus far pointed towards a September launch date for the iPhone 6, which has now been confirmed by a reliable source that spoke to MacRumors.
 
 Mass shipments of the iPhone 6 from China to the United States are expected to occur during the last two weeks of August and it is likely that Apple will announce the iPhone 6 during the first or second weeks of September. The first deliveries of the device will come later in the month on a corresponding Friday, roughly a week and a half after the event.

 An early September event is in line with previous rumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/25/iphone-6-friday-september19-32gb-64gb/) and with the event dates of the last two iPhone generations. The iPhone 5 was announced (http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/12/apple-announces-iphone-5-with-4-inch-display/) on Wednesday, September 12 with availability occurring on September 21 and the iPhone 5s/5c was announced on (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/10/apple-announces-iphone-5s/) Tuesday, September 10 with availability starting on September 20.
 
 It remains unknown if the September iPhone 6 event will include just the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 or both the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch variations. Early rumors pointed towards production issues (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/05/06/sapphire-display-iphone-6/) that might delay the launch of the larger phone, but those problems appear to be solved (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/03/iphone-6-5-5-battery-20-million-units/) and a recent rumor from Bloomberg has suggested both devices could launch at the same time (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/23/4-7-5-5-iphone6-simultaneous-launch/).
 
 A report from earlier today pointed towards a September 25 launch date (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/03/september-25-iphone-6-5-5-inch-iphone-air/) for the iPhone 6, but Apple typically releases the iPhone on a Friday, making this prediction unlikely. September 12, 19, and 26 are all probable launch dates for the iPhone 6, based on production speed and available inventory.
 
 Apple's iPhone 6 is expected to include a larger display size along with a thinner iPod-touch style design, an A8 processor, and camera improvements. The 5.5-inch iPhone has thus far been positioned as the premium version and may include upgrades like optical image stabilization (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/24/optical-image-stabilization-iphone-6/) and a larger storage capacity (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/26/128gb-iphone6-5-5/), with a $100 price premium (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/13/iphone-6-100-more-buyers-willing/).
