Apple doesn't want its special events to be overshadowed by anything, especially those where it announces its biggest cash cow, the iPhone. That's why the iPhone 16 will be announced this Monday. New iPhones are almost always announced on Tuesdays, but Apple made an exception this year to avoid clashing with the presidential debate. The Cupertino giant also seems to have implicitly made the release date official. Despite having scheduled the Glowtime event, where it is expected to announce the iPhone 16, Apple has implicitly made the release date official. iPhone16 No pre-order or release dates have been announced for September 9, which is typical for the company.
According to a report, pre-orders will be available on September 12, a Thursday. Normally, pre-orders are available on Fridays.
Normally, new iPhones go on sale on the Friday of the week after the announcement, but considering that everything is a bit off schedule this year, you might be wondering if the iPhone16 hits shelves on September 19th.
The answer is no, according to an Apple Store opening soon in Solna, Sweden. Technically, the Mall of Scandinavia store didn't say exactly, but it seems to have made the release date pretty clear.
The store opens its doors on September 20th and iMore has interpreted this as a sign that the iPhone16 will go on sale the Friday after next. This makes perfect sense. If the phone went on sale on September 19th, the new Swedish store would certainly not want to miss it. It is obvious that Apple wants to open the store in time for the iPhone16's publication.
We're just one day away from the release of the next iPhone lineup, which is rumored to bring larger Pro models, faster chips, thinner bezels, a new record button, improved cameras, and tons of AI features.
