Apple Monitor Supports New iPhone in September

Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets reports that his Apple Monitor, which tracks suppliers who make Apple parts, supports an iPhone release in September rather than October.

If the "Apple Monitor" does well, it indicates Apple is either manufacturing new products, putting in big orders for parts, or selling a lot of units.

Business Insider relays a report from White that revealed his Apple Monitor was up 14% on a month over month basis, compared to an average increase of 8.5% over the last seven years. White writes, "We believe this strength reflects the Apple supply chain ramping up production of new products for Apple that are expected to launch this September."


Last year the monitor was up 7% in July, leading White to conclude that this year Apple will be selling the new iPhone in September as opposed to October. He also predicts an iPad mini will ship in September.

Apple is expected to announce the new iPhone on September 12th.
