iPhone 6 launch date disclosed as July

iPhone 6 to be launched in July according to new report

Rumors were popping up that iPhone launch will shift back to summer from its fall launch schedule. It happened with the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5s, and now happening with the highly anticipated iPhone 6. a new report claims that the next-gen iPhone will likely launch much sooner than expected in July.

According to research delivered to clients on Wednesday by Mizuho Securities analyst Abhey Lamba, the iPhone 6 and Apples's new phablet will probabyl launch this coming July rather than in september or October, as most are expecting.

Lamba says his checks with Apple's suppliers in Japan and across Asia suggest that things are ramping up much earlier than expected, which could point to a summer launch. "Recently, the company has been introducing new lineup in September time frames whereas the next-gen phones could come out in July this year," Lamba sain in his note, which was picked up by StreetInsider.com. "The earlier launch will be helpful for Apple as it will ensure significant availability and distribution of the new device during holiday season."

Apple is expected to debut two completely different redesigned iPhones in 2014 and if that is in fact the case, record sales seem inevitable. The analyst also believes that iOS 8 will include enhancements that opne up the iPhone's touch ID fingerprint scanner to developers. A summer launch for the iPhone 6 and "iPhablet' still seem unlikely - but July is the month of launch.
