Undoubtedly for launching dates that do not remain and that each one has their opinion. This rumors and leaks that we find on the network can have several key points to know if it is true or not, they can never be confirmed, that is evident, but it must be clear that many of these rumors or leaks come from close sources to the production lines or official Apple distributors and may have certain details. In this case, JPMorgan says that the iPhone 8 will be presented at the WWDC in June and this is saying a lot ...
The case of analysts many times if it is true that they rely on statistics, data or dates from previous years to report a news and that it spreads like wildfire on the network, but it is true that it is relatively easy to get it right when you launch many rumors and news having a certain reputation. By this I do not mean that Apple cannot launch or present its new iPhone next June at the WWDC keynote, but taking into account some details the theory of this presentation is not supported anywhere.
I do not want to be a spoiler and we should not completely rule out the possible presentation of an iPhone at WWDC since the iPhone 4 was launched in a WWDC keynote, but it is clear that they were other times. The truth is that the schemes and leaks are constant and you can see details of a new iPhone already almost outlined, but we do not believe that to the point of showing it and making users wait until the end of the year to buy it. We need to remember the latest rumors that new iPhones will be delayed this year and this contradicts everything, or almost everything, since the only thing that fits in this statement of presentation at WWDC is that they show us a prototype of the iPhone.
Can we think that Apple would be considering the possibility of showing its new iPhone and then not launching it to generate more debate and lose more iPhone 7 and 7 Plus sales than it has already lost? The truth is that this all sounds pretty bad and I can't think of this presentation right now outside of Apple Park and its Steve Jobs Auditorium, I'm sorry.
And why not present it? It makes a lot of sense if we suppose that Apple completely changed the concept and design of the iPhone by providing it with new technologies, let's remember what happened to the Apple Watch, a totally new device, it was presented in September and went on sale 5 or 6 months later, it could well introduce the iPhone in June and continue its development and put it on sale in September or October.
Because as the note says, that would catastrophically drop sales of the iPhone 7 and 7 plus. Unless production is advanced enough to move the market date forward to late June or early July. Which does not seem very likely unfortunately. The case of the Apple Watch is different because before there was no previous version that people stopped buying to wait for the new model.
