After weeks of speculations, Apple has finally announced the date of its iPhone launch. The Cupertino-based company has sent out invites for the event which will be a virtual one.

The invite which has surfaced online reveals that the new iPhone 13 series will be announced on Tuesday, September 14. If Apple isn’t bent on launching its products on Tuesdays, September 13 would have been a great choice since it is announcing the iPhone 13.

The event will be live-streamed like Apple’s previous events since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is scheduled for 10 AM PDT (6 PM BST/ 10:30 PM IST)

Apple will launch the iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 Pro, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. All three will feature the new Apple A15 chip which will be unveiled at the event. They are also expected to come with bigger battery capacities, faster charging, and reverse wireless charging. It has also been reported that the new iPhones will have support for satellite communication in cases where cellular connectivity isn’t available. However, this feature may not be available in all regions. The new iPhones should also get new color options.

Apple is also expected to announce the Apple Watch Series 7, new iPads, and the AirPods 3 on that day too.

Apple is expected to launch the new iPhone 13 series sometime in September this year. However, the exact launch date is yet to be confirmed by the company. Now, ahead of any announcements, the series’ launch timeline has been allegedly revealed.

According to IT Home,  the iPhone 13 series is already listed on an e-commerce website in China. The listing’s screenshot was first shared on Weibo by Chinese leaker @Pandalsbald. Not just the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro, rather the entire series including the vanilla smartphone, the Pro model, the Pro max model, and the mini variants were listed. Even the rumored Apple AirPods 3 was found listed on the portal.

Additionally, the publication revealed that the series will go on pre-orders from September 17th. It is said to go on sale starting September 24th in the market. While the launch date, as well as the sale date, is revealed, we aren’t sure if the dates are legit. Previously, the Chinese publication was subject to incorrect launch dates. However, this time around, the tipster Jon Prosser confirmed that the listed date is real and indeed the launch timeline is correct.

If we go by the said launch date then Apple is expected to send invites by September 7th. This is how the entire launch timeline would look like.
