Statistical analysis suggests Apple will host iPhone event on September 12

As we inch closer towards the official reveal of Apple’s next-generation iPhone line, analysts are taking their guesses as to when Apple will host their fall iPhone event, and Wednesday September 12th is looking to be the day most likely Apple will take to the stage according to CNET.

Looking back on Apple’s keynote history, and taking key dates into consideration CNET’s Lynn La suggests Apple will announce their 2018 iPhones on September 12th – the same date Apple chose last year.

Apple typically announces new iPhone hardware on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and traditionally Apple’s fall events have taken place before the second week of September.

For the last six years, Apple held its iPhone announcements on either a Tuesday or Wednesday, and usually no later than the second full week of September. For 2018, this gives us four possible dates: Tuesday, Sept. 4; Wednesday, Sept. 5; Tuesday Sept. 11; and Wednesday, Sept. 12. – For 2018, Labor Day falls on Monday, September 3. So, if Apple follows its recent pattern, the company would announce its new iPhones the following Tuesday or Wednesday: Sept. 11 and Sept. 12.

Apple will most likely want to avoid hosting an event on September 11th, leaving us with September 12th.
