It's rare that we get a concrete release window for new Apple hardware or software. But, yesterday, during Apple's conference call, Tim Cook answered a question about a comment he made during the meeting. He mentioned fall releases, in fact, he specifically said "I don't want to be more specific. But I'm just saying we've got some really great stuff coming in the fall. And across all of 2014". Looks like the final quarter of this year and next year are going to be big for Apple.
This could be the closest we'll get to proof of the rumor that the new iPhone has been delayed, possibly because of issues with a fingerprint scanner. The news wasn't initially accepted as good news, as investors were hoping that new Apple products were coming sooner rather than later. However, as ZDnet has pointed out, it may not be a bad thing.
If Apple's taking longer to make a product, it could mean that the next iPhone will be more than just a speed bump over the iPhone 5. At the very least, it means that Apple is working hard to make sure the iPhone is just right before release. It could also mean that Apple's preparing far more than an iPhone for this year. We'd also see a new iPad, and perhaps the rumored smart watch. Even knowing that Apple has big plans for Fall, they could still have a lot up their sleeves.
