Apple's annual September event is closing in fast, and this year's show could be the biggest Apple has put on for a very long time. In fact, this could be the first time in several years that Apple mixes up its usual release cycle, and not release the standard grouping of four new iPhones.Not to mention the fact that this event should mark the debut of the foldable iPhone Ultra — the first iPhone of its kind. We still don't know exactly when the foldable is going to be released, but all signs point towards an imminent reveal. Not to mention the fact we're also likely to see new wearables, and maybe even some home-centric devices.Here's what you need to know about Apple's September event, and what to expectApple September Event: When is it?
(Image credit: Apple)Apple is a creature of habit, and usually holds its iPhone launch event during the second week of September — typically on a Tuesday. That isn't always the case, though, and Apple events have been moved around to avoid clashing with major calendar events, such as Labor Day and the anniversary of 9/11.Under normal conditions, this year's Apple event would fall on September 8, but since Labor Day is on Monday 7, it's likely that Apple will push the event back to September 9. This has happened in the past, and the reasoning is that Apple doesn't want to ask attendees to travel on a holiday weekend. For example, the iPhone 14 launched on Wednesday September 7, following Labor Day on Monday 5, and that'll likely be the case this year too.As for pre-orders Mark Gurman at Bloomberg notes that they may also be pushed back by a day. Normally iPhone pre-orders open on the Friday immediately following the iPhone event. But since that day falls on September 11 this year, Gurman believes that things will be pushed to Saturday September 12.That's what Apple has done in the past, and there's little reason to think it would do things differently this year.Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.iPhone 18 Pro & Pro Max
