As we enter the month of August, we are now just one month away from the start of iPhone event season. Apple has traditionally introduced its latest iPhone models in September for many years. The question now is, when will the iPhone 16 event take place? Here is a preview of what to anticipate.
The recent events related to iPhones in the past few years
In the last three years, Apple has revealed its newest iPhone at these times:
- 12th of September, 2023 falls on a Tuesday.
- September 7th, 2022 falls on a Wednesday.
- September 14th, 2021 falls on a Tuesday.
It is also crucial to consider how close these dates are to Labor Day. This American holiday changes annually, but consistently falls on the first Monday in September.
Apple’s iPhone events in 2023 took place 8 days following Labor Day, whereas in 2022 it occurred only 2 days after, and in 2021 it was once again 8 days later.
Taking into account this historical data, it is evident that Apple tends to choose Tuesdays and Wednesdays for their iPhone events. While Tuesdays are typically favored, in the event that the event falls on the same week as Labor Day, it is rescheduled for Wednesday.
In essence, the company is seeking to schedule the iPhone event for the following week to allow for a full business day to transpire beforehand.
What is Apple planning to unveil at the iPhone 16 event this year?
Announcement for the upcoming Apple iPhone 16 event
The events for the iPhone in 2023 and 2021 followed the same schedule. They both occurred on the second Tuesday of the month, which was a week and a day after Labor Day.
Based on this trend, it is expected that the iPhone 16 event will likely take place on Tuesday, September 10th.
Although 2022 strayed from the trend of surrounding years, there are reasons why September 10 remains the most probable choice for 2024.
This year, Labor Day falls on September 2, making it one of the earliest dates possible for the holiday.
It is unlikely that Wednesday, September 4 will be chosen, particularly since some schools in the US will not have started the fall semester yet. For instance, in New York City, the start of the school year is on Thursday, September 5.
Apple is unlikely to host its major event of the year while many individuals are still getting back into the swing of things after their holiday break. This has occurred in the past, but Apple eventually shifted the event to a later date the next year.
Due to Labor Day occurring early and some schools starting late, it is likely that an event scheduled for the first week of September will not be possible.
Once again, this further confirms that Tuesday, September 10 will be the day of the iPhone 16 event.
When can we anticipate the release of the iPhone 16?
Should Apple reveal the iPhone 16 on September 10, it is probable that pre-orders will be available for purchase a couple of days afterwards on Friday, September 13.
Users can expect to receive their hands on the new iPhone 16 lineup as early as Friday, September 20th.
It has been rumored that the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 will come in a range of new exciting colors, with various improvements to the camera, larger screens for the Pro versions, and additional enhancements.
