At this point two sources claim Apple is working towards an August iPhone 6s release date. The first rumor emerged from China and a second comes from Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI analysts.

In the first rumor, we hear that Apple could push up the iPhone 6s release date because of a good supply of iPhone 6s parts. The rumor is from United Daily News in Taiwan but there is no specific industry source linked to this rumor.

The latest rumor shared on The China Post claims Apple will announce the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in August and arrive on store shelves in September. This report comes from Kuo, who is well-known for delivering well sourced and correct information about iPhone features ahead of the release. Kuo is not as accurate when it comes to the release timing, possibly due to variances in supply chain knowledge compared to Apple's retail planning.
