We knew theiPhone 14was imminent, but now it appears to be even more imminent-er: theiPhone14 launch date is now expected to be Wednesday 7 September, a week earlier than most pundits had predicted. That’s the day after Labor Day in the US, and it meansApplewill get to notch up an extra week of pre-orders during September compared to previous years.
According toBloombergthe event will be online, but Apple is likely to show it at its Apple Park campus for invited guests and press, much like it did forWWDC 2022earlier this year. Pre-orders will open after the keynote event, with the iPhone 14 arriving in stores and shipping to pre-order customers a week later.
Another reason for the earlier iPhone launch date is to make room for a second event in October, where Apple will unveil newiPadsandMacBook Pros.
What to expect from the iPhone 14 launch and October’s Apple event
On 7 September we can expect theiPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Max, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Although some rumours predict we’ll also see aniPhone 14 minithat seems spectacularly unlikely, but we may see an older iPhone model replace the current entry level phone, which is the iPhone 11.
The iPhone 14 launch will also be theApple Watch Series 8launch, and we should also getiOS 16andwatchOS 9on that date – but notiPadOS 16ormacOS Ventura. They’re coming a month later, most likely with an M2iPadPro and a USB-C entry-level iPad. We might also see M2-basedMac mini, Mac Pro and MacBook Pro models, although it’s possible they might come shortly afterwards.
If the reported timescales are correct, Apple should start sending the launch invites for the iPhone 14 even to its media contacts next week.
