    Please, for the love of dog, summer is not a time of year. It is not even a season in a huge chunk of the populated world.

    Sure it is. It's just not the same everywhere.

    I can prove it. Is 5pm a time of day? Of course it is, but it's not 5pm at the same time everywhere. It's not even the same time everywhere in Australia.

    PS: I have found plenty of sources that show that Australia absolutely does refer to Spring, Summer, Fall/Autumn, and Winter as seasons of the year.
    I think you need to think this through. Summer, in the non tropical parts of Australia/ southern hemisphere is December to February. Your sources would also have noted that in non-temperate climates, the designation of summer is not appropriate or even recognised by the cultures residing there. A huge proportion of the worlds population lives through seasons with other names, often centred around a wet monsoon and dry season.

    According to you, if this product is released in January the headline writers can claim it was correct. 

    If Apple Insider wants to write about a January release of an Apple product in North America and reference it as a winter release taht would be fine. If an Australian rag wants to makes a mention a summer release if Apple releases something in Australia in January then that would also be fine.

    Are you really going to the LA Times and complaining about any mention of the summer solstice for 2025 being tomorrow (which is my tomorrow BTW, not yours), June 20th 2025, and then you complain that it's really winter solstice tomorrow (your tomorrow) June 21st 2025? Of course you're not, because that would be fuckin stupid.

    This is not the LA times, it is an online magazine without a geographic base about Apple, and writes about not US matters and matters that are country neutral. Summer is a misnomer for an internationally focused magazine.
