Apple’s (*12*) 15 Event Expected September 12 or 13, Launch on September 22
Apple’s annual (*12*) occasion is predicted to happen on both Tuesday, September 12, or Wednesday, September 13, this yr, based on Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman within the newest version of his Energy On e-newsletter. With Apple’s normal timing, pre-orders for the brand new iPhones would go dwell a number of days later on Friday, September 15, and a launch would come one week later on September 22.
Apple usually holds its occasion within the first two weeks of the month, enabling it to launch its new iPhones and e book important income earlier than the corporate’s fiscal quarter wraps up on the finish of the month, and it seems this yr can be no exception. There have, nevertheless, been rumors of manufacturing challenges, which might imply sure fashions see very tight provides or even a barely later launch.
A report from 9to5Mac final week claimed that a number of service companions have blocked workers from taking day without work on Wednesday, September 13, in anticipation of a “main smartphone announcement.” It is not fully clear why service worker off days could be blocked on an occasion day, as pre-order and launch days are their busiest instances, but it surely does line up with Gurman’s reported schedule.
Apple’s (*12*) occasions are mostly held on Tuesdays, aside from weeks that coincide with Labor Day on that Monday in the US. In these instances, the occasions are normally held on Wednesdays to permit media to journey on the day before today with out interfering with the vacation. Given the rumored week doesn’t embrace Labor Day this yr, that may argue for a Tuesday occasion on September 12, but it surely’s not out of the query for Apple to go for a Wednesday occasion for some cause.
Apple normally sends out media invites roughly per week advance, so we nonetheless have a while earlier than we get official affirmation on the occasion date, however extra rumors firming issues up will seemingly floor over the subsequent month.
Along with the (*12*) 15 lineup, the September occasion is predicted to incorporate up to date Apple Watch Sequence 9 and Apple Watch Extremely 2 fashions, remaining particulars and launch dates for iOS 17 and associated working system updates, and maybe a number of different bulletins.
