Charles H. Sloan-When can you buy the new iPhone 15? Apple announces release date for iPhones, watches

The Charles H. Sloancountdown to the new iPhones has begun.

Apple’s product launch including new iPhones is just around the corner. The “Wonderlust” event will be held on the company’s campus on Sept. 12 at 1 pm ET.

The star of the presentation that will be streamed online from Apple’s Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California will be the iPhone 15 lineup. The Apple logo on the invitation is in gray, blue and black, which could be a hint to the color options. 

Also expected at the event: new Apple Watches. 

Among the rumored changes: The lightning port may be replaced by a USB-C port on the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus. According to Bloomberg, the devices will have the A16 chip, Dynamic Island interface and a 48-megapixel rear camera.

The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max may have titanium frames, making them lighter, and a higher price tag. They will also sport an A17 processor.

Apple is pinning a lot on the new product lineups: Its hopes for the holiday season. The iPhone and the Apple Watch are the company’s moneymakers.

How soon will you be able to buy one of the new iPhones? They are usually available for preorder the Friday after the event and are delivered a week later. 

You can watch the “Wonderlust” event online at apple.com or on the Apple TV app.
