iPhone 9: All you need to know about the next iPhone (2018)
iPhone 9: All you need to know about the next iPhone (2018)
There’s early excitement for the iPhone 9, so here’s what we already know about the iPhone 9 release date, specs, features, price and more.
(Update: September 28, 2017): Contrary to our hopes, the iPhone 9 might not be getting an OLED screen upgrade. Read on to find out more.
Apple’s yearly iPhone release cycle means that fans are always looking for the next big thing. The latest iPhone may still be hot off the production line, but Apple is almost certainly hard at work on a new model.
While there’s very little in the way of definitive leaks thus far, it’s still easy enough to guess at what’ll be coming.
That’s because (1) Apple is a creature of habit, (2) we know what sort of components and technologies will be available for the release, and (3) mobile industry trends are easy enough to spot.
So read on for all the latest news, rumours, leaks and more, and get ready for next year’s iPhone 9 launch.
iPhone 9 Release Date: When is Apple’s next iPhone out?
We all benefit from the fact that Apple has a long and consistent history of iPhone releases. That makes it very easy to predict the next iPhone launch dates.
First off, here’s a rundown of recent iPhone announcements and release dates:
So what does this tell us? Firstly, Apple tends to make its annual iPhone announcement early in
September, and always on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
Secondly, Apple typically launches a device for retail on a Friday in mid-September.
Estimated iPhone 9 reveal date: Tuesday, September 11 or Wednesday, September 12, 2018
Estimated iPhone 9 release date: Friday, September 21, 2018
Of course, Apple could throw us a curveball and completely switch up its usual schedule, but we’d be very surprised. Logistically, it’s easier for Apple to stick to a roughly exact one-year cycle, as it keeps investors, suppliers, and all other stakeholders largely happy.
