iPhone 18 Pro will be unveiled on September 9, with pre-orders expected to begin Saturday, September 12, slightly later than the usual Friday schedule. Normally, pre-orders open the Friday after the event, but a reliable German source indicates a shift to Saturday. The 25th anniversary of 9/11 may influence this change, as pre-orders were previously delayed to Saturday, September 12, when the date fell on the 11th.

Pre-sales are rumored to start at midnight PT, differing from the typical 5 am PT opening.
