Apple’s announcement came with few surprises, but that doesn’t mean that the iPhone won’t be exceptionally profitable. "Apple gets a lot of credit for being innovators, but it's about how they execute and improve what already exists," said Gartner analyst Tuong Huy Nguyen. "Everyone (Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, etc.) uses the same ingredients, but a great chef can use them to make a better meal."Consumers can order a new phone starting September 12th, or pick one up in stores starting September 25th.
