Apple is expected to unveil its new lineup of iPhone 16 models next week at its iPhone event on Monday, Sept. 9. The new iPhones won’t be available for purchase immediately after the event, but Apple is known for its consistent release schedule. Details on pricing and storage options for the iPhone 16 lineup are still unknown. iOS 18, Apple’s latest software, will also be available for download on current iPhones in the coming weeks. Speculations based on Apple’s past release history suggest that preorders for the iPhone 16 may open on Friday, Sept. 13, with the official launch in stores on Friday, Sept. 20. As for the new Apple Watch and AirPods products expected to be announced alongside the iPhone 16 series, they may also follow a similar release schedule, but delays are possible. Older iPhones that are eligible for iOS 18 can update their software to mimic the features of the newer models. The official release dates for new hardware and software will be updated after Apple’s event on Monday.
