iPhone 14 / Pro release date: keynote and pre-order schedule

It all really begins in June 2022, when Apple organizes its traditional Worldwide Developer Conference, specifying in particular that iOS 16 will arrive during theautumn,just like watchOS 9. However, we know that the new version of the Apple firm's mobile operating system generally sees its release date coincide within a few days with that of new smartphones, such as the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro also expected. at the end of the year. Unfortunately, Cupertino has not gone further and officially no specific day has been communicated at the moment.

For several weeks, however, rumors have multiplied in the run-up to the usual keynote ofseptemberprepared by Apple. The slots most often mentioned for discovering the iPhone 14 are those of Tuesday 6 or Wednesday 7. The first hypothesis fits with the old conferences with Tim Cook, regularly scheduled for Tuesday, but does not meet the majority of predictions. The second, however, seems to make everyone agree but it is rare to see Apple betting on a Wednesday.

iPhone 14 release date in stores

Let's say that the iPhone 14 therefore sees the light of day on September 7, with pre-orders the following Friday. Then, you often have to wait for aseven day deadlinefrom the release date to be able to find the device in store. Sometimes this gap is longer for Macs, but this is rarely the case for mobiles (ten days maximum). The only notable differences were those of some iPhone 12s, delayed probably due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, this has again caused damage to Apple's subcontractors in 2022; it is therefore possible that the iPhone 14 Pro will, for example, be delayed until October. In addition, you should know that there is a shortage of chips from suppliers, butit is estimated that the Pro models will be the only ones with the new A16 Bionic processor, which gives food for thought to these theories.

In short, we can therefore bet on available iPhone 14sfrom September 16 in Apple Storeand at resellers such as Fnac or Boulanger, but with some risks. Or certain models for October 16, or limited quantities in store during pre-orders from September 7 and therefore arriving at your home after two or even three or four weeks of waiting. This is what happened for the iPhone 13 Pro, even if their release date was identical to that of the iPhone 13.

To be clear, know that the manufacturer will confirm the precise release date of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro during theApple Eventwhere they will be presented. This is also where we will know the prices with confidence.

Pay attention to your address

Also good to know: the release date of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro is notnot the same in each country. We know, for example, that in Romania, you have to wait several months before seeing the Apple products announced during the keynotes arrive at resellers. This is also the case in most other countries where there is no Apple Store. Worse still: in Colombia, iPhones were simply banned by a court decision.

Finally, let's also mention the case of the release date among operators. Here,SFR, Bouygues Télécom and Orange are served firstand will normally be entitled to iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro at the same time as specialized stores. The same goes for their low-cost subsidiaries, Sosh, RED by SFR and B&You. With the serious advantage of offering you mobiles in a staggered package, to avoid paying more than a thousand euros at once.
