This looks set to be a big year for Apple. Its next special event is a shoo-in for September and it\u2019s expected to reveal the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, the first foldable iPhone<\/a> and two new Apple Watches \u2014 plus, perhaps the AirPods with cameras that have just been detailed by Apple<\/a> itself. So, when can we expect to hear about the keynote? Here\u2019s the latest. <\/p>\n

The date of the keynote has been a matter of some debate, but informed guesses are coalescing on one day. <\/p>\n

If you know when the keynote will be, you can work out when it will be announced. I\u2019ve been saying for months now that I think the date in question is Wednesday, Sept. 9. Most other analysts disagreed but seem to be coming round to it, including Mark Gurman from Bloomberg. <\/p>\n

And Tom\u2019s Guide<\/a> seems to agree. \u201cFor the last several years, Apple has held its iPhone launch event in the second week of September, and usually on a Tuesday. This would normally mean that Apple would hold its 2026 event on Tuesday, Sept. 8. However, the preceding Monday is Labor Day, so Apple will likely push the event to Wednesday, Sept. 9,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

When Will Apple Send Invites For The iPhone 18 Pro Event?<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s customary way to reveal its keynote is coming is by sending invitations to press and special guests \u2014 with a suitably cryptic illustration on the invite.<\/p>\n

As 9to5Mac<\/a> pointed out, Apple used to announce the keynote date seven days before it took place, which would be Sept. 2 this time around. However, from 2022 onwards, for the last four years, it has consistently sent out invites to the keynote exactly two weeks before. <\/p>\n

That means we should hear about the announcement on Wednesday, Aug. 26. I think that\u2019s most likely the date. But I have one extra thought. <\/p>\n

iPhone 18 Pro Keynote: One More Thing<\/p>\n

Apple doesn\u2019t like to be predictable, so it could move from the two-weeks-before cadence this year. <\/p>\n

The only reason that the keynote will be on a Wednesday this year, as mentioned above, is because Labor Day falls on the Monday. If it didn\u2019t, I\u2019m certain that the keynote would be on Tuesday, Sept. 8. Which would mean the keynote announcement would have been on Tuesday, Aug. 25. <\/p>\n

Since it\u2019s only for the convenience of avoiding Labor Day that the special event is 24 hours later, there\u2019s no reason why Apple shouldn\u2019t unveil the keynote date on the Tuesday two weeks earlier. <\/p>\n

So, there\u2019s also the possibility that the keynote could be confirmed, with invites sent to guests on Tuesday, Aug. 25. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure it will be one or the other, and I\u2019ll be covering the announcement whenever it is, so please check back. Meantime, for the full schedule of the iPhone 18 Pro and other products, please read this<\/a>.<\/p>\n
