The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max may be unveiled at the show. It has been speculated that the company may have something even bigger to announce: Its very first foldable iPhone.
Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 are among the rumored products. It is possible that new AirPods might be unveiled by Apple as well.
Pre-orders are expected
Following the launch, the next significant date could be Saturday, September 12.
According to the rumored timetable, pre-orders of the iPhone 18 Pro will start at 12:00 AM Pacific Time. It would be unlike the company's common strategy of initiating pre-orders on Fridays.
The timeline would be tied to the dates surrounding September 11, which makes it unusual for the company.
This could be a significant date for those who wish to buy the new Pro model as early as possible.
Expected Release Date of the iPhone 18 Pro
If that's the case, there will be less than two weeks between the event and the expected retail release.
On the other hand, Apple's rumored foldable iPhone can have its own release schedule. This could be quite understandable for a totally new product line.
