Al Gore May Have Only Announced the Release Month of the Next iPhone

Al Gore

I just read over on AppleInsider that on Wednesday at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Al Gore was quoted as saying:

Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug

Some are interpreting this as “multiple iPhone models will be released in October.” While I agree with the October part (since next month is October), I have to wonder if the quote was transcribed incorrectly. If we rewrite the sentence, adding an apostrophe between “iPhone” and the trailing “s”, we could come to a different conclusion:

Not to mention the new iPhone’s coming out next month. That was a plug

Simply plugging in an apostrophe changes the sentence from inferring multiple iPhone models to a simple “iPhone is” contraction.
