iPhone 18 Pro: Pre-Orders and Release Date
Speculation regarding the release date of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra suggests a likely event date of September 9, based on historical patterns. Pre-orders and release dates are estimated to follow shortly thereafter, though Apple has not made an official announcement.
Why it matters
Predicting Apple's product launch cycles is a significant interest for investors, tech enthusiasts, and the consumer electronics market.
Apple has yet to reveal when the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra will be announced and released, but the dates usually follow a familiar pattern.
As usual, the iPhone event is expected to take place in the first half of September .
Labor Day falls on September 7 this year. The last time the holiday was on that day was in 2020, but the iPhone event that year was delayed until October due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The last time Labor Day was on September 7 in a normal year was in 2015, and the iPhone event was held on Wednesday, September 9 that year.
Accordingly, the most likely date for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra event this year is Wednesday, September 9 until proven otherwise.
