Yeah, I saw that early this morning. Not sure how closely third-party case companies bear on Apple releases, but all the rumors said Q2 2020. That’s tomorrow (although I’d shy away from launching anything on April 1...nobody will take the announcement/press release seriously and a lot of people may brush it off as a gag ). But I’ll wager that this new phone is announced/released by next Wednesday...as early as tomorrow, but possibly next Tuesday or Wednesday morning.

Now would be a wonderful time for Apple to release something affordable/reasonably priced, considering how sideways everything has gone in recent weeks. I think some of their upscale, “luxury” offerings are gonna take it in the shorts for a while, until things settle down/straighten out. Nobody’s eyeing a $1,100 phone or some of those uppity Hermès Watch models when they’re not entirely sure where their employment situation stands in the coming weeks. $1,399 buys a boatload of Ramen, Pop-Tarts and Angel Soft, you know?
