Apple unveiled iPhone Duo last Tuesday with October shelves in the Reuters file. [1] This paper already printed October on this page. Saturday is not a ship day. An unveiling is not a delivery. Print not shipping. Do not print in-pocket.

No Saturday ship notice is in Cupertino copy, so Duo is not shipping today and October remains the shelf month.
Not shipping today is still not shipping. Saturday recap that puts Duo in a pocket is a feed, not October.
No carrier ship-today notice is in Saturday's Apple stack.
The ship-today notice stays off the page until an edition that owns one.
October already named the shelves.
Saturday is not a carrier drop.

Saturday is not a pocket day.
Carriers announce ship weeks, not keynote slides. Until a carrier speaks, October is the only sourced month. Saturday's copy contains no carrier.

Ship-today notices arrive by carrier press release, not keynote applause. Saturday's inbox holds none. October waits.

Waiting Octobers wait; Saturday waits. Waiting is the update. Inboxes stay empty.

Hinges shown under lights do not scan at a register. The Ternus event made a picture of a phone, not a tracking number. Stores that want a foldable this weekend are shopping in the wrong month.

Ternus showed a hinge, not a tracking number. Saturday's stores have the 18 Pro. October shelves belong to the foldable.
