Today Apple finally confirmed September 12 as the date of the iPhone 8 launch event. Apple is not expected to announce the actual release date of the forthcoming OLED iPhone 8 or the two new LCD iPhones until the actual launch event, but according to BGR, a secret source at carrier O2 might have just let the cat out of the bag a little early.

The news comes via leaker Benjamin Geskin, who’s prolific iPhone leaks have earned him over 30K Twitter followers over the past few months. Now, Geskin has tweeted information about what may well prove to be the actual iPhone 8 release date, stating, “O2 have confirmed to staff members that iPhone 8 release date is 22nd September in stores.”

While Geskin does not disclose anything else about his source, several other sources over the past couple of weeks have also pointed to September 22 being the official release date for not just the iPhone 8, but also the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus.
