DLATITUDE252 Predicting most specs of an upcoming iPhone is tricky until details start leaking, but predicting the release date is far easier, as Apple tends to stick to a pattern.
So, while there aren’t any real iPhone 16 release date leaks yet, we can take a good guess at when these phones – including the iPhone 16 itself, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max – are likely to launch.
Below then, you’ll find our predictions for the iPhone 16 announcement date, the date that the iPhone 16 line will go up for pre-order, and when the phones will actually be available.
More specifically, the company tends to use either the first or second week of September to make its announcement, and its preferred day is a Tuesday. So that makes the most likely announcement date this year either September 3 or September 10.
However, sometimes Apple holds its events on a Wednesday instead, so September 4 and 11 are also possible announcement dates.
Of course, it’s always possible that Apple will break with tradition this year. It did so before, such as with the iPhone 12 line which was announced in October of its release year.
