As anticipation mounts for the launch of iOS 13 (date unknown), the seventh beta of the operating system was launched on Thursday, Aug. 15, for developers. Within the software, The Verge reported that Brazilian media organization iHelp BR uncovered an image suggesting the date when Apple’s next flagships smartphones will be announced.
The image is named “HoldForRelease,” and what appears to be a screenshot of an iPhone home screen is a calendar app icon set to Tuesday, Sept. 10. iHelp BR noted that when iOS 12 was released, the calendar app displayed on a similar image in the software displayed its respective launch date as well, Sept. 12.

The launches of the previous iPhones all took place within four days of Sept. 10 during their respective release years, so it is likely that this prediction is accurate.
Three new iPhones are expected to be announced this year that are allegedly successors of the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR. HM/JB
