Apple is set to release the iPhone 16 series later this year, but the exact date has not been confirmed by Apple yet. However, based on some key indicators, we can make some educated guesses about when the new iPhones will be unveiled. In addition to the new iPhones, Apple is expected to introduce other products such as the Apple Watch Series 10 with a new design and features like a larger display and the Apple Watch Ultra.
The announcement for the keynote, where the new products will be revealed, is likely to be made on Wednesday, September 4 or Thursday, September 5. This announcement usually precedes the pre-order and release dates. Tech Radar reported that production of the new iPhones has been on schedule this year, indicating that pre-orders may open shortly after the keynote.
Historically, Apple has released its flagship iPhones in September, with the keynote typically falling on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Given that Apple does not hold keynotes on September 11 and the IFA tech show in Berlin is scheduled for September 6 to 10, it is likely that Apple will announce the keynote on Tuesday, September 10. The event is expected to take place at 10 a.m. Pacific Time in Cupertino.
Pre-orders for the new iPhones are likely to open on Friday, September 13, with sales beginning on Friday, September 20. These dates are subject to change, but based on past trends and current information, they seem plausible. Keep an eye out for more updates as the official announcement from Apple approaches.
