iPhone 7 pre-order date tipped for September 9

It doesn't seem like there's much left to know about the iPhone 7 at this point, and that includes the release date.

Already we'd heard that it would be landing in shops on the week of September 12, but @evleaks (a usually reputable tipster) then followed that up by saying it will go on sale on Friday September 16 and now he' suggested pre-orders will start on Friday September 9.
That still doesn't tell us when the iPhone 7 will actually be announced. Pre-orders may not open the same day as the announcement, but assuming @evleaks is right it seems very likely that it will happen during that week, which starts on September 5.

We should stress that this isn't official information, but @evleaks seems very confident of it and he's one of the most reliable leakers in the business.
