Updated Sept. 7 with more details of the schedule up to and including release date. <\/p>\n

Are you ready? Tuesday, Sept. 9 will see Apple\u2019s big event of the year, and it\u2019s expected to announced a lot of products, including four radically different iPhones. Here\u2019s what\u2019s happening between now and the onsale date, down to the minute. I\u2019ve noted what\u2019s confirmed when and I\u2019ll update this post if anything changes.<\/p>\n

Apple Special Event
\nTuesday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific Confirmed<\/p>\n

First up is the keynote, held at Apple\u2019s Steve Jobs Theater.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not invited, here\u2019s<\/a> how to watch. The keynote will announce the products and confirm when they will go on sale, and for how much.<\/p>\n

\nApple iOS 26 Beta Release Candidate
\nTuesday, Sept. 9 at around 12 p.m. Pacific To be confirmed at the keynote<\/p>\n

The final beta of the iPhone software is usually released straight after the keynote, which can last up to two hours. Release won\u2019t happen during the keynote but some time the same day.<\/p>\n

Apple iPhone 17 Pre-Orders Open
\nFriday, Sept. 12 at 5 a.m. Pacific To be confirmed at the keynote<\/p>\n

Wednesday and Thursday will see press commentary in terms of first impressions and responses to the design, pricing and so on. Then on Friday, pre-orders will open.
Previously, Apple has allowed users to log onto apple.com the night before pre-orders, in this case Thursday, Sept. 11 and choose the exact item they\u2019re interested in such as model storage capacity and color. They can put the item in their shopping bag ready for pre-orders going live on the Friday, having saved valuable minutes the night before. Then, they can buy as soon as the pre-orders launch.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not yet whether Apple will allow the same set up this year but I\u2019ll update this post as soon as it becomes known.<\/p>\n

Initial Reviews
\nTuesday, Sept. 17 or Wednesday, Sept. 18 5 a.m. To be confirmed<\/p>\n

Last year, the first iPhone reviews appeared on the Wednesday in the week after the keynote. It could be the same this year, or it could be that Apple will choose the Tuesday instead. Whichever it chooses, Apple Watch reviews are likely to appear on the other day.<\/p>\n

If another rumor proves accurate, that AirPods Pro are in the offing, these will likely have reviews go live on the Monday. These exact dates are subject to change but for certain all reviews will appear before the release date rolls around.<\/p>\n

Apple iPhone 17 Release Date
\nFriday, Sept. 19 at 7 a.m. local time To be confirmed at the keynote<\/p>\n

At last, the waiting will be over and the first iPhones will be in customers\u2019 hands. Now then, what do you think the iPhone 18 will be like\u2026<\/p>\n
