Apple iPhone 16 Release Date: Accurate Information Is Provided by New Report But just when? The Apple Special Event, or keynote, is the occasion that everyone is most anticipating. It takes place at the Steve Jobs Theater, which is a component of the company’s Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California. And the most recent report appears to corroborate that date. Does it, or not? I have inquiries.
I’ve written already that I’m convinced the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will go on sale on Friday, September 20. “Apple Inc. is planning to hold its biggest product launch event of the year on Sept. 10, when the company will unveil the latest iPhones, watches and AirPods, according to people familiar with the situation.
Although I believe there are still other dates available, that looks likely. Additionally, Gurman has subsequently made statements on X that make me think September 10 isn’t a firm date. When I discovered that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris would battle in the first televised presidential debate, alarm bells began to sound in my head. Sincerely, I think that will take up much of the news cycle today and tomorrow. Maybe Apple should reschedule? If yes, to when?
There are two other plausible days that week: Monday, September 9, and Thursday, September 12, as Apple has usually steered clear of September 11.
Monday keynotes are reserved by Apple for WWDC in June, which happens once a year. Does this year’s discussion suggest that it will be an exception?
Regarding Thursday, Gurman recently stated on X that “Apple has scheduled an unusual and mandatory meeting for employees at all Apple retail stores for the evening of September 12 or the early hours of September 13.” This would occur one week before the introduction of the iPhone 16, however pre-launch events usually take place on Sundays rather than during the workday.
Gurman continues, “The corporation is making preparations for that day, which falls on a Tuesday, said the sources, who requested not to be identified since the plans are confidential. Though the timing hasn’t been revealed yet. In keeping with Apple’s previous tradition, the phones will be unveiled and then go on sale on September 20.
In my opinion, Gurman could be well on target. The keynote address is scheduled for Tuesday, September 10 at 10 a.m. Pacific at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, but it might also happen on Monday, September 9. Apple’s selections will probably be influenced by the presidential debate. In any case, Friday, September 13 is probably when pre-orders will open, and purchasers may expect to get their iPhones on Friday, September 20.
