I'm guessing it will be very similar to the R5/R6 launch. Dev-announcements from April to the full announcement in July. However, waiting on the chip issue to subside is silly (that will take years), but waiting to get the anticipated units out is reasonable. Mid July is my guess, but obviously if the units are the delay, that could go for some time.
Personally, I don't think this one will sell like hot cakes. It will do fine, but I don't see it being crazy. Many more people taking their time to decide this time around. Unlike the R5, this one will likely get boosts for early adopters, not so much the sight unseen pre-orders of the past.
I'm also curious if one of CR's informants got burned. I'd bet this was a previous date that was pushed back quietly.
