iPhone 7 release date may be a bit later than we thought

Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 7 may be coming to stores a little bit later than initially anticipated. If you recall, reputed leaker Evan Blass published a tweet last month indicating that Apple's next-gen iPhone was slated to hit store shelves on Friday, September 16. This rumor was seemingly bolstered when Bloomberg indicated that Apple was planning a special media event for Wednesday, September 7.

But now comes word via 9to5Mac that Apple's iPhone 7 might be arriving a bit later in the month. According to a leaked memo purporting to come from an official AT&T retail document, AT&T has two days pinned down for special merchandising resets: September 9 and September 23. While certainly not conclusive and admittedly speculative, this tends to suggest that pre-orders for the iPhone 7 may in fact begin on September 9 with shipments finally arriving two weeks later on the 23rd.
