They will all be launched at different times, with the X21/X22 being the first to be launched in the North East, probably early August. The 5/5A and the X3/X4 will then follow in September. There is a specialist team working on Sapphire, with (I am told) 11 launches to be done in 14 weeks, across the country at different divisions.
