Rechecking the FCC release date.. it’s actually 6/18, not 6/15 as I was remembering. Sorry ’bout that. That actually lines up a bit better and gets them in a second tech news cycle.
yes there was an fcc alert tonight…think it was for monday. little bit too busy to follow it through. info will likely appear over the weekend as stores clamour to get their offering ahead of everyone else (maybe)
Yeah, sorry (said the same on the reddit post tho), it’s just that it finally it appeared on Amazon (one of the major resellers), so I’m guessing the announcement/selling date is very close at hand.
Btw are you going to have some amazon links for the PLUS editions?
yes. i know the amazon ASIN code but it is only listed in one amazon geo so far.
In your opinion, which will be the date for the launch of fenix 5 plus?
