iPhone 18 Pro Release Date Revealed? Here’s When Pre-Orders Could Begin

Apple is expected to hold its next iPhone event in the first half of September, with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra likely to be among the main announcements.

Based on Apple’s past event schedule, the most likely date for the event is Wednesday, September 9, 2026. Labor Day will fall on September 7 this year, making September 9 a possible date for Apple’s annual iPhone event.

A similar schedule was followed in 2015, when Apple held its iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus event on Wednesday, September 9.

If Apple follows a similar timeline this year, pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra could begin on Saturday, September 12. The devices could then be released on Friday, September 18.

Another possibility is that Apple holds the event on Tuesday, September 15. In that case, pre-orders could start on Friday, September 18, followed by a possible launch on Friday, September 25.

However, Apple has not officially announced the event date or launch schedule. These dates are based on Apple’s previous launch patterns and remain predictions until the company confirms them.
