Prosser has previously stated that the iPhone 9 will be ready to ship in April and that Apple is considering sticking to an April release "due to economic pressures and shareholder obligations." His latest update last week stated that a meeting on the iPhone 9 resulted in "no final decision", and that Apple would decide this week, and that "if" they do announce a phone, it would be mid-April.
With that in mind, Prosser now believes that Apple is planning to release the iPhone 9 on April 22, announcing it on April 15. According to his report, Apple retail employees are being asked to work from home in sales and tech support, a rumor also confirmed by Mark Gurman.
Apple's iPhone 9 is the spiritual successor to the iPhone SE 2 and is rumored to be debuting with a $399 price tag.
