Apple is set to launch the highly anticipated iPhone 16 series later this year, with key details now emerging about the keynote event and release dates.
The keynote event, expected to unveil the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, along with new products like the Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra, is likely to take place on Tuesday, September 10.
Apple traditionally announces the keynote date a few days before the event, with a likely announcement on September 4 or 5 for maximum impact. This will also signal the start of pre-orders and the eventual release date.
Production of the new iPhones appears to be on schedule, indicating a smooth release process. Pre-orders are expected to open on Friday, September 13, with all four iPhone models likely to go on sale on Friday, September 20.
Apple's keynote events typically occur in the first half of September, avoiding conflicts with events like the IFA tech show in Berlin, which runs from September 6 to 10 this year. The timing of the keynote, usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday, aligns with Apple's historical patterns.
With a strong likelihood of the keynote being held at 10 a.m. Pacific Time in Cupertino, the unveiling is expected to draw significant attention. The pre-order process usually begins at 1 p.m. local time on the Friday of the keynote week.
While these details are subject to change, the outlined timeline provides a clear picture of what to expect from Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 series launch. Stay tuned for further updates as the event approaches.
