Disclosed the announcement date and the start of sales of iPhone 11

SoftBank president Ken Miyauchi Japanese telecommunications company in a conversation with an investor He hinted, what iPhone 11 will be released on 20 September.

It happened when we were talking about the new law in Japan, which is forbidden to sell smartphones with reference to the operator. This practice is popular in many countries: the user can buy the mobile phone network operator in times cheaper than in shop, but provided that will benefit from certain tariff of the operator (the newer smartphone and steeper, the more expensive rate).

The law will come into force on 1 October, and Miyauchi said:

I do not even know what we'll do those 10 days... Oh, I should not have said that. In any case, I do not know when the new iPhones will be released. But after 10 days, they will have to untie [the tariff].

Hard to believe that he really did not want disclose this information. Anyway, if the October 1 will be held 10 days after the release, the most likely date of his - Friday 20 September (Apple always releases new smartphones on Fridays).

Since 2012 Apple presents the new device in the week of Labor Day, or on the next after her. This year the holiday falls on September 2 that early enough. how write Cult of Mac, iPhone announcement will take place on 10 or 11 September 11, and pre-orders will open on 13 September.

In the past year iPhone XR It went on sale in October - much later than the flagship models. Maybe this year a similar fate awaits iPhone 11R.
