When Will Apple Release the iPhone 16?

If you’re waiting for Apple’s iPhone 16, here’s what you can expect from the release date.

The iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be replaced by new iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max models later this year.

There are some great reasons to wait for the 2024 iPhones though you’ll have to wait a few more days for the devices to hit shelves.

If you’re determined to wait, or if you’re simply debating it, you’re probably curious about the release date.

The iPhone 16 release date will land soon. Apple typically uses the month of September to launch its flagship iPhone models and it will do so in 2024.

iPhone 16 Announcement Date

The iPhone 16 announcement is confirmed for September 9th. The event, dubbed “It’s Glowtime,” kicks off at 10AM Pacific. It will be live-streamed.

If you live in another timezone, here’s what that means for you:

• Mountain Time: 11AM
• Central Time: 12PM
• Eastern Time: 1PM
• British Summer Time (BST): 6PM
• Central European Time (CET): 7PM
• India Standard Time (IST): 10:30PM
• China Standard Time (CST): 1AM on September 10th
• Japan Standard Time (JST): 2AM on September 10th
• Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST): 3AM on September 10th

iPhone 16 Pre-Order Date

Apple typically puts new iPhones up for pre-order at 5AM Pacific on the Friday following the announcement which means September 13th is the logical date for the start of iPhone 16 pre-orders.

That being said, a sketchy rumor suggests we may see pre-orders arrive on Thursday, September 12th.

iPhone 16 Release Date

The company’s iPhone pre-order period always extends for a week so this means the iPhone 16 release date should land on:

• Friday, September 20th

We realize nothing is set in stone, and Apple could stray from its release protocol, but our goal is to help consumers set proper expectations.

If you’re considering a move to a flagship iPhone in 2024, keep these dates in mind as we cruise into September.
