Apple’s event calendar: When is the next Apple event?

Updated 07/03/19: Now that WWDC is over, we don’t expect another Apple event until September.

Apple doesn’t often participate in big industry-wide events like CES or E3. The most valuable company in the world holds its own events, thank you very much. Several times a year, Apple invites the press and industry professionals out to a theater to hear all about its latest products and services. Apple calls these “Special Events,” and streams them online to its millions of fans.

There’s also WWDC, Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, a multi-day event in the middle of the year focused on sessions for developers, helping them make the most out of the latest Apple tools and products. It kicks off with a big keynote that serves to announce new products (typically the latest versions of iOS and macOS, as well as a few hardware products).

Apple usually announces the exact dates of its special events only a couple weeks in advance, but it tends to hold events at similar times from one year to the next. Here’s a list of the remaining events we expect Apple to hold in 2019, and what we expect it to announce there.

iPhone Special Event: September 2019

For the last six years or so, Apple has announced the new iPhones at an event in the first half of September. The new iPhones typically go up for preorder shortly after, and ship to stores and customers in late September or early October.

Since its introduction in 2014, Apple has always revealed the new Apple Watch at its September event, too. The first Apple Watch was available the following year (2015), but every other model went on sale in the September in which it was announced.

There are no reliable rumors that would lead us to believe that Apple would stray from this pattern in 2019. So expect new iPhones and a new Apple Watch at an event in the first two weeks of September.
