When do new iPhone models ship?

I'm looking to buy a new iPhone as my 6+ has broke. I really don't want to wait that long for a new one but know the keynote is expected to be around 12th of september.

If i do wait until then and pre-order, how long has it taken in past years for the phones to actually arive to the customers (I heard the X took until november but usually they ship before october?)

They usually announce in mid-September with shipments starting in late September. How quickly you get one depends on how many people pre-order and when you order in relation to everybody else.

  • Why do models or famous people have both a blackberry and an iPhone? So I've seen many models/supermodels and celebrities that have a blackberry and an iPhone at the same time like they carry both and I never know why?!
  • Where do you get iPhone copy/clone/china models in India? I'm From Chennai. I'm A student. I don't have enough money to buy a iphone now. But I badly need one. Where do get these. I know some people who got it directly from Hong Kong. Where is it in India?
  • What iPhone models does Apple still offer? I have to go to Apple tomorrow to get my phone checked out because ever since I've gotten the new software, I've been having a lot of problems and my iphone has been having an adverse reaction to it.So, depending on the outcome, I may have to get a new phone. I want to know what iPhone models that Apple still offers because I really want to get the iPhone 5 (not the 5s or 5c).
  • What brands and models of cellphones have metallic casing (beside iphone)? Lot of cellphones are made from plastics like samsung, nokia and others. I know the iphone has metallic lining at its side and its side buttons are also metal which i find really nice and impressive. But i don't like iphone or specifically the ios. I prefer android or WP8. can you name some high end models with these os with a metallic casing or at least lining but specifically metal buttons.
