Nintendo still hasn’t said when Switch 2 US preorders start.

Despite now-corrected articles about Switch 2 preorders, Nintendo of America’s Charlie Scibetta confirms to The Verge that nothing has changed since its April 4th statement, which reads:

Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.

That’s a big camera bar.

Is “bar” even the right word to describe it? If this actually is what the iPhone 17 Pro looks like, I guess we’ll see what Apple calls it.
