Folks, the craze is legit! We’re counting down the days before the iPhone 16 series launches, if you’re anything like us. The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and the formidable iPhone 16 Pro Max are the models we are discussing. This is your all-access pass to everything happening, even before Apple formally reveals the truth.
What gives with the tagline “It’s Glowtime” then? Tech expert Mark Gurman believes he has figured out the code. He claims that the invite’s brilliant hues are a clear clue to the next Siri UI for Apple Intelligence, which will revolutionize all future iPhone models. Imagine that Siri is now a glowing edge that illuminates your screen, rather than that small green ball at the bottom. How awesome is that?
If your iPhone 15 Pro is fortunate enough to obtain the iOS 18.1 beta, you have most likely already received a preview. Don’t worry, though; everyone will get access to this capability with the iPhone 16 series. And it’s a whole mood, we assure you.
Gurman also speculates that “Glow” would be a reference to macOS Sequoia, which is anticipated to release concurrently with iOS 18. Now, macOS usually launches a few weeks after iOS, but this may be Apple’s surprise to us.
Here’s another sweet bit about iPhone 16 series:
Pre-orders for the iPhone 16 series may open one day earlier than normal, said the German website Macerkopf. That’s correct, it may be Thursday, September 12, rather than Friday, September 13. However, Apple isn’t superstitious; after all, they did unveil the iPhone 13.
However, why the alteration? The night before pre-orders started, Apple allowed you to choose the iPhone you wanted online the previous year. With a tiny trick like this, you could get ahead of the queue and get your ideal phone as soon as pre-orders were live. Prepare to hit the purchase button since we’re wagering that they’ll follow suit this year.
Let’s speak about dates now!
This is how the release of the iPhone 16 is anticipated to proceed:
- Apple Issues Formal Invitations: On August 26, a Monday, this took place. Put this date on your calendars because this is the start of it all.
- The Apple Special Event will take place on Monday, September 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. Our suspicion that it would be Monday proved to be correct!
- Pre-Orders Open: Although you may begin preparing the night before, we’re staying with Friday, September 13. Set your alarms for 5 a.m. Pacific time, which is when it generally starts.
- Apple is expected to release iOS 18 on Monday, September 16, immediately following the keynote address. You may use iOS 18 if your existing iPhone is running iOS 17.
- Reviews of iPhones Emerge: Anticipate the beginning of these on Tuesday, September 17, or Wednesday, September 18. We’ll get the first accurate impressions at that point.
- Sales of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro begin: Probably Friday, September 20, is the big day. Remind yourself to do this—this is the magical moment.
There you have it, then! The full rundown of when the new iPhone series will be released. We’ll be here to keep you informed as events develop, so keep an eye out for updates.
It’s almost time—are you prepared?
