iPhone 8 release date
Hottest leaks:
- Likely to launch early September 2017
- On-sale mid-September 2017
While there aren't yet any rumored release dates for the iPhone 8 this is one thing that's easy to predict, as Apple tends to stick to a similar schedule each year.
In fact, with the exception of the iPhone SE, every Apple handset since the iPhone 5 in 2012 has been launched in September. There's no reason to think that will change for the iPhone 8, so expect to see it in September 2017.
We can even get more specific than that, as Apple held its iPhone 7 event on September 7, while the events for the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 were both on September 9 of their respective launch years.
Even going further back you'll see similar dates, so again it's likely that Apple will stick to this sort of schedule for the iPhone 8.
Of course that's not when you'll be able to buy the iPhone 8/iPhone 7S, but Apple typically makes its phones available one to two weeks after announcing them, so you should be able to have the iPhone 8 in your hands before the end of September 2017.
TechRadar's take: A launch event in the first or second week of September 2017, with the phones hitting stores one to two weeks later.
