Apple expects its upcoming new iPhone to be a big success, and one of the big questions about the iPhone 6 — reportedly coming in 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch versions — is when people can start buying one. The answer, according to Re/Code, is Sept. 9, when Apple is holding a public event. Chuck Jones at Forbes does some math and predicts that a Sept. 9 unveiling would put the iPhone 6 in stores on Sept. 19. As with all Apple rumors, only Apple knows whether any of this is correct or not.
