http://wccftech.com/iphone-8-shipping-in-october/ >With Apple holding its iPhone keynote on September 12, pre-orders of the iPhone 8, iPhone 7s Plus and iPhone 7s are expected to kick off starting September 15. That is a very short window between the official unveiling and pre-order commencement but the time it will take for the iPhone 8 to actually ship to the customer is much longer than we were hoping. Sources close to the matter believe that the edge-to-edge glass smartphone will not reach customers until the month of October. >According to sources based in Taiwan, Japanese blog Macotakara states that Apple will start taking pre-orders for all three iPhone models starting September 15, but the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus will be shipped earlier to customers. The source claims that the iPhone 8 on the other hand will be released much later; October is said to be the slated time period when the handset will be sent off.
