Corroborating a report from the end of June, iGen.fr claims both new iPhone 6 models will launch on Sept. 19. That date falls on a Friday, and is about a week and a half after Apple’s September 9 event. No word about an iPad 2 Air, and there aren’t any further details about the iWatch, which Re/code previously reported won’t launch until sometime in early 2015. It’s starting to appear that the Sept. 19 date is likely for the 4.7-inch model, though we’re still unconvinced about the 5.5-inch iteration, which previous reports have suggested has hit production issues and will launch later. These have only just been rumors, however, and we have seen some 5.5-inch iPhone 6 parts leak over the past few weeks. Chances are the device will be available, but in very limited quantities.

iGen.fr, who has proved reliable in the past with Apple launch dates, is now claiming that sources informed the site that the new iPhones will launch on the 19th. This is generally to be expected, following historical patterns. Apple traditionally puts new iPhones on sale the Friday the week after the announcement. This year, everyone seems convinced that the 4.7 inch iPhone 6 will be on sale then. The release schedule of the 5.5 inch model is less clear. Some, citing supply constraints, have said that the 5.5 inch model (most recently dubbed the iPhone 6 Plus) will not launch for a couple more months. However, a consensus on this has not really been reached. iGen.fr says that the larger device will in fact launch on September 19th as well and is certainly still a possibility. It is fair to say that more components have leaked for the 4.7 inch model, leading some reasonable speculation that the 5.5 inch yields are simply not high enough for it to be released at the same time. iGen.fr notes that supply of the 5.5 inch model will probably be constricted, with the 4.7 inch model having much better availability. Despite iGen.fr’s comments, it is important to note that many sources believe that the 5.5 inch launch will be delayed. KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo most recently said that it does not expect the larger phone to be released until October. Bloomberg has also echoed this sentiment. We’ll know for sure tomorrow.
