Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Launch Date Debated: Sept. 8 or Sept. 9?

By PulseAugur Editorial · [7 sources] ·

Apple is anticipated to announce its next generation of iPhones, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, in September. Industry insider Mark Gurman suggests the keynote event will likely occur on Tuesday, September 8th, following the Labor Day holiday. However, the author of the Forbes articles posits that Wednesday, September 9th, is a more probable date due to Apple's typical avoidance of scheduling major events immediately after a public holiday. Pre-orders are expected to open on Friday, September 11th, with the general release following on September 18th. AI
