Reach the desk that tracks every iPhone launch.
Press inquiries, supply-chain tips, carrier and reseller partnerships, reader mail — every message below lands with the journalist or engineer responsible for it. We answer in under 24 hours on weekdays.
Section II — Inquiry Lanes
Four ways to reach the right person.
Pick the lane that matches your message. Press, sources, partnerships and reader mail are each answered by a different desk — and by a real person, not an autoresponder.

Secure Tip Line
For supply-chain, Foxconn, TSMC, logistics and Cupertino insiders. Submissions are encrypted in transit, stripped of metadata, and reviewed by Daniel Ko only. You can also use the form below to submit anonymously.
03
Business
Partnerships & Trade-In
Carriers, resellers, and trade-in operators — including Gazelle, SellCell and similar partners powering instant quotes inside our launch-day articles. We co-build inventory and pre-order tools.
04
Readers
General & Reader Mail
Corrections, story tips, calendar updates, or just a note. Our reader desk reads every message and forwards corrections to the appropriate journalist before the next publish.
Section III — A note for sources
On protecting the people who tell us things.
iPhoneCountdown has reported on eleven consecutive iPhone launch cycles without ever burning a source. We don't name insiders in bylines, we don't publish source material verbatim, and we strip metadata from every attachment before it touches our archive. If you work at Foxconn, TSMC, a carrier, an Apple reseller, or anywhere downstream of Cupertino and you see something the public shouldn't yet know, the form below is the safest way to reach our leak desk. You can submit anonymously; the form does not log your IP on our side, and you can route through Signal or Tor if you prefer. We will never share your contact details with third parties and we will not contact you on a channel you haven't approved.
