Apple's iPhone to have a rumored release date of Jan 15th to beat analyst expectations

More

Bloggingstocks has just received an interesting tip that the Apple iPhone will have a January 15 release date. Apple's Macworld Expo runs from January 9 -12, and the money is on Apple to announce at Macworld that the iPhone exists and will ship at some future date. This tip alleges that iPhone's release date (the shipping and purchasing date) will be just days after Macworld Expo.

This does several things for Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). One, it will beat analyst's expectations of when the iPhone will actually get into customer's hands and create some serious buzz.

Two, it will be rapidly available after one of Apple's biggest announcement events (many new models and products from Apple are touted at MacWorld).

And three? It positions Apple for further interest in its stock, as many investors gauge Apple stock based solely on its iPod offerings.

If this forwarded rumor (and we emphasize that it is a rumor) is true, then the recent drawing back of Apple's stock price into the 80s might represent a buying opportunity for an investor with some room for risk.

If Apple announces a January 15th iPhone, will you be buying one?

Update: The iPhone release date of June 29 has been confirmed as of June 3, 2007.
