Apple iPhone 16 Launch Date Poster Turns Out to Be Fake
It's that time of year again when both fans and critics eagerly anticipate Apple's next iPhone reveal.
Typically, the Cupertino tech giant introduces its new products in September, often opting for Tuesday launch events—a pattern consistent with models from the iPhone 11 through the iPhone 13. However, the iPhone 14 was an outlier, as was the iPhone 15.
Recently, excitement surrounding Apple’s upcoming launch event has surged online, fueled by a leaked poster for the iPhone 16 launch that’s been circulating on X (formerly Twitter).
Let's explore the poster's details and examine how they align with what we already know about Apple's September announcements.
Leaked iPhone 16 Launch Date
According to well-known tipster Majin Bu, Apple might hold the iPhone 16 launch event on September 10, 2024.
Bu shared an image that appears to be the official poster for the event, featuring the tagline “Ready. Set. Capture.” Just below, the invitation reads, “Please join us in person for a special Apple Event at Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park.”
The poster also lists the date and time: 10:00 AM PT (10:30 PM IST). The tipster suggests that this could be the cover of the invitations Apple sends to the media.
However, Bu also notes that he cannot confirm the authenticity of the information. With excitement building around the iPhone 16 series and August already underway, it’s possible that the date could be accurate.
Additionally, the timing aligns with the pattern of Apple holding launch events on Tuesdays, and September 10 does fall on a Tuesday. While this news is thrilling, especially for those eagerly awaiting new Apple hardware, it's still just a rumor. Readers should approach it with caution.
What to Anticipate at Apple’s Upcoming September Event?
In addition to the new iPhone lineup, Apple is expected to introduce the Apple Watch Series 10, Watch Ultra 3, and AirPods 4 at the event. Recently, rumors have hinted at the development of two new AirPods models, which adds an interesting twist.
Alongside the hardware announcements, Apple will likely release the public build of iOS 18, though it may not include Apple Intelligence. The new iPhone lineup is anticipated to feature four models: the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
