Apple is expected to hold its event within the first two weeks of September, which means the announcement of the event itself will happen in just a few weeks. Here's what history tells us about the timing of the iPhone 16 presentation, citing 9to5Mac.
History of iPhone presentations
As anticipated earlier this month, the iPhone 16 presentation is most likely to take place on September 10. This date is the most probable, based on events from previous years.
When Apple announced its September events over the last four years:
- 2023: Announced on August 29, 2023, event held on September 12, 2023
- 2022: Announced on August 24, 2022, event held on September 7, 2022
- 2021: Announced on September 7, 2021, event held on September 14, 2021
- 2020: Announced on September 8, 2020, event held on September 15, 2020
In 2020, the event did not include the iPhone 12 due to delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The iPhone 12 was announced in October.
Over the past two years, Apple has changed its approach, announcing iPhone presentation dates two weeks before the event.
Given the expected event date of September 10, it's likely that Apple will announce the iPhone 16 presentation around August 27.
