We are now less than one month away from September, which historically has been Apple’s favorite month to announce its newest iPhone lineup since the iPhone 5 in 2012.
The exact date on which Apple holds its special event to introduce its next iPhone is always a point of speculation among fans, with the exact date remaining a closely guarded secret till invitations are sent out. However, new information uncovered by 9to5Mac gives us a strong indication of when Apple could unveil the iPhone 15 lineup.
According to unnamed sources who spoke to 9to5Mac, multiple phone carriers have requested their employees to be fully available on Wednesday, September 13, as a result of a “major smartphone announcement” taking place on the date. This aligns with when Apple typically announces its next iPhones alongside other products, which included the Apple Watch and AirPods in recent history.

iPhone 15 Specs
Apple is expected to expand Dynamic Island, first introduced on the iPhone 14 Pro last year, to all models of the 2023 iPhone lineup. The company is also rumored to replace the Lightning port with USB-C across the entire lineup to comply with EU laws, in addition to expanding the 48MP main camera sensor to the non-Pro iPhone 15 models alongside other camera improvements.
On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will introduce several exclusive features, including a periscope zoom lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, significantly thinner bezels thanks to a new LIPO process, a new titanium chassis with subtly curved edges to replace stainless steel, Action Button in lieu of the mute switch, and next-generation 3nm A17 Bionic chip.
