Erm, there's around half a year between Samsung and Apple announcements. Is this before or after? Apple introduces their annual flagship smartphone so late in the year. Doesn't it give Samsung plenty of time to counter them spec wise next year? :) BTW, no, the iPhone that's going to be announced in the autumn is likely going through the last phases of testing.
