Earlier today, Twitter user Jon Prosser said that Apple is scheduled to release the iPhone 9 on April 15 and begin shipping on April 22.
As for the authenticity of the news, there is no way to verify it.
Last month, Apple released a number of new products without any warning, including new iPad Pro, new MacBook Air, Mac mini and other products. The iPhone 9 was not seen, which surprised many users. Not the new coronavirus epidemic really affected the progress of the new machine.
Recent reports mention that the iPhone 9 will not be available before April 5. The release and production of the iPhone 9 were affected by the new coronavirus epidemic, and the large-scale conference originally planned by Apple in March had to be cancelled.
Current rumors claim that the iPhone 9 is entering its final production stage. This is also in line with Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's previous statement that the phone will be launched in the first half of 2020.
Most rumors claim that the iPhone 9 will use roughly the same external hardware as the iPhone 8 in an effort to keep costs low.
It may use a 4.7-inch Retina screen, Touch ID, and a glass back panel for wireless charging.
However, the interior of this economical device can be quite different, and Apple has adopted many of the latest technologies, including the same A13 bionic chip used in the iPhone 11 series.
Kuo previously predicted that the iPhone 9 will be equipped with an A13 chip and 3GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of storage space. He also predicts that the iPhone 9 will cost about $ 399 in the United States, which will make it the cheapest iPhone product.
There are rumors that the iPhone 9 will be the successor to the iPhone SE, for which many people speculate that it may also be called the iPhone SE 2. It targets users who are still using older iPhones, such as iPhone SE and iPhone 6.
