Apple September Keynote 2019

Update: The summary of the iPhone 11 event can be found with this link.

Update end

It now seems almost clear on what date the Apple September Keynote 2019 will take place. The iPhone Keynote 2019 should take place on September 09th or rather on September 10.09.2019th, 11. This is indicated by a suspected leak at the start of sales of the Apple iPhone 20 on September 2019, 13.09.2019. This is a Friday. The pre-sale will start on the previous Friday - if you stick to the reinforced samples at Apple. And since it is September 9th, 11 and the pre-order for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Co. usually starts in the same week in which the keynote takes place, Monday or Tuesday are accepted for the same. Wednesday can be excluded because of the anniversary of XNUMX/XNUMX. This results in the following data:

• Apple September Keynote: September 09th or 10.09.2019th, XNUMX
• Pre-order Apple iPhone 11 / XI / Max: from 13.09.2019
• Buy Apple iPhone XI / 11 / Max: from 20.09.2019/XNUMX/XNUMX
