Serial tipster Evan Blass took to Twitter to reveal this and added that it will go on sale on September 16.
Opening up iPhone pre-orders a week before the retail release lines up with previous years, although last year Apple did have a two-week period between orders and availability. But the earlier the better, right?
It’s quite interesting to see that @evleaks is not referring to the new device as iPhone 7, but as “iPhone 2016” which could be the name of the upcoming device. The Apple event will take place at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
The “iPhone 7” is believed to have improved water resistance, redesigned antenna bands, an upgraded processor, and no headphone jack.

With Labour Day in the U.S. on September 5, that means Apple’s autumn media event (where the new iPhone is usually announced) would probably fall on September 6. This since the original was released in 2007 and ten iterations of the handset have subsequently become available over the years.
