Apple had not sent invitations for a September iPhone event before August 21, 2026. Reporting from MacRumors and Forbes indicated Apple was expected to announce its event date and send invitations around August 26, 2026, roughly two weeks ahead of an anticipated September 9 keynote, consistent with the company's recent-year pattern of issuing invites exactly 14 days before the event. As of the question's resolution date, Apple had only made visible preparations, such as staging at Apple Park, without a formal invitation or announced date having gone out. The expected event is anticipated to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, a first foldable iPhone, and new Apple Watches, and would mark the first Apple keynote led by incoming CEO John Ternus following Tim Cook's planned retirement on September 1, 2026. Both recorded community votes predicted Yes (100%), anticipating an earlier invitation, which did not match the actual outcome — the invitation was expected to follow Apple's typical late-August timing rather than arriving before August 21.
