iPhone 15: what pre-order and release dates in stores

Updated August 30, 2023:Apple confirmed the date of September 12for the Keynote presentation of the iPhone 15. This reinforces our hypothesis according to which the new smartphones would be launched on September 15 for pre-order, and would be delivered to individuals and put on sale the following Friday, September 22, 2023

• The new iPhone 15s will arrive in September
• Their release date is currently unknown.
• Indices still make it possible to define the most probable D-day

Apple is preparing the release of several new iPhones in the 15 range. These will normally arrive in September. Or in any case, the Californian firm will present them during a keynote at the beginning of the month. If there are no problems on the production and assembly lineswhich may cause a delayin the traditional end-of-year calendar at Cupertino, presumably, the new machines will be on sale in stores a few days after the Apple Event which will be dedicated to them.

For the moment, information about the iPhone 15 has mainly concerned their technical characteristics. As for the “sides”, meaning prices and release dates, it’s much more vague. In any case, let us try, as we did foriOS 17and theBack-to-school keynote, to determine the date on which you can pre-order one of these new iPhone 15s and the date on which you can go to the store to buy a copy of one of these new generation iPhones. For these purposes, let's revisit Apple's history over the last 7 years and analyze the most reliable rumors about it.

When will we be able to buy one of the new iPhone 15s?

A look back at Apple's history in this area

Over the past 7 years, Apple has always launched pre-orders for its new iPhones onFriday following the conference dedicated to them. A week later, the machines are delivered to individuals and sold in stores.

According to our latest analyses, Apple should hold its iPhone 15 event on Tuesday September 12 or Wednesday September 13. This means, based on the Cupertino company's usual schedule, that pre-orders for the iPhone 15 would launch onFriday September 15, at 2:00 p.m. French time. The machines would then arrive for delivery to early buyers the following Friday, i.e.September 22, 2023. From this day on, the general public could also go to Apple Stores and partner resellers to see the new range up close and be seduced by leaving with one of the different models offered under their arm.

One of the most renowned analysts regarding Applestill went there with his predictions recently. According to him, Tim Cook would present the iPhone 15 the week of September 11, 2023. Mark Gurman does not say it, but as seen above, everything suggests that pre-orders would take place the same week, probably, Friday September 15, 2023.
