The release of the iPhone 9, also known as the iPhone SE 2, could take several days, according to reports of inventory cases at Best Buy and other U.S. retailers.
An anonymous source found that the Urban Armor Gear box and other compatible accessories had been sent to Best Buy and other stores and sent a photo as evidence. The case in the photo is clearly marked as the new iPhone 4.7 for 2020.Retailers have reportedly instructed to keep accessories on the shelves until April 5, This Sunday, prompting speculation that the iPhone 9 will be available on that date.
It is not clear how the source filmed the product before, but he or she appears to be an employee of the store. It’s not uncommon for cases to appear before a phone designed specifically for them, but it’s usually for publicity. The secret preparation seems even more ominous – it’s not inconceivable that Best Buy has deliberately leaked it, but we hope it will cause discomfort to Apple.
Rumor has it that the new iPhone will be a 4.7-inch device, similar to the iPhone 8, but with an internal update that is cheaper – filling the same positioning as the previously missing iPhone SE and iPhone 5c. The device has long been expected to be released at a spring press conference in March, but the outbreak of THE COVID-19 means such gatherings are impossible.
It now seems more likely to be quietly unveiled through press releases, as in the new MacBook Air and iPad Pro earlier this month.
