One of my listeners has confirmed the iPhone 09 will be announced next week and going over with them their "investigative" journalism techniques I am 100% convinced the iPhone 09 will be announced next week.  My source confirmed that qualification testing has been completed and Apple was informed today (morning time PST) of the completion of those tests.  So I put my neck out there and state - the iPhone 09 will be announced early next week.  No date on availability.  I will talk about this a little more on Episode 81 of Today in iPhone - coming out tomorrow night - late.
