Predicting the release date of the upcoming iPhone 16 models is easier than predicting their specifications, as Apple tends to follow a pattern. While no official leaks have surfaced yet, it is likely that Apple will announce the iPhone 16 series in September, with potential dates being September 3 or 10. Pre-orders typically open the Friday of the announcement week, so if the announcement is on September 3, pre-orders could start on September 6. The iPhones usually go on sale a week after pre-orders, so the iPhone 16 models might be available on September 13 if pre-orders open on September 6. All four expected iPhone 16 models are likely to be announced and shipped simultaneously, unless production issues arise. As of now, there are no reports of delays in the production of the iPhone 16 series.
