I definitely agree not late .
I mean you die hard pixel lover it doesn't matter what other phones launch , I'm looking for pixel launch in October ,now you have others that go between Android phones and most know the launch date of each manufacturer so they probably wait until end of the year see what it brings . Then you have people just looking for a phone don't matter which phone launch what date. It's not like it has to sell all it's phones on launch date , it's year round sales until their next launch .
