It looks like previous reports suggesting a September 9 iPhone 6s release date may be true after leaks all the way from France corroborated the said claim.
French website Mac4Ever has reportedly gotten hold of an internal leak from a major French carrier which said that pre-orders for both iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will begin on September 11.
To back up this claim, the website's contact sent them a photo of the notice from Apple. PocketNow posted the said photo on Twitter which you can see below:

"Assuming Apple really does have its big announcement event on or around September 9, Apple's standard operating procedure would see it open pre-orders the following Friday, just like last year," the website said.
"In our case, that's September 11, just as this leak indicates."
The iPhone 6s is allegedly slated for an in-store release date a few days later on September 18.
Franchise Herald previously reported that the Cupertino tech giant is planning an event on the week of September 7 with the 9th as "the most likely date" for the iPhone 6s release date.
And even though the leak comes from France, US consumers should also be concerned with the news. As BGR pointed out, the country is usually among the first to get the latest Apple products along with the USA.
But what about Mac4Ever's credibility? Forbes said "the site has a decent track record."
"Most recently in April, it obtained Apple retail chief Angela Ahrendts' internal video for Apple Store employees where she explained the impending one-on-one sales demos that would be used for the Apple Watch."
Previous iPhone 6s leaks point to a strikingly similar external design to the current iPhone 6 handset. The bulk of changes are reserved for the device's internal specs.
Reports suggest an improved front camera, an A9 chip, stronger aluminium chassis and the inclusion of Force Touch for Apple's next-gen flagship smartphone.
The iPhone 6s release date is certainly almost here. Anticipating record sales for the iPhone 6 successor, Apple has reportedly ramped up production to meet the demand.
