The French radio station claims that Apple will launch a new lineup iPhone 2018 on September 12, citing two anonymous sources. The event will take place at the Steve Jobs Theater and will begin at 10 am local time.
Radio Europe 1 received this data from two sources, whose names and titles are not disclosed. Earlier there were rumors with the same date.
If Apple does hold its conference on September 12th, press invitations will be sent out later this week. The presentation of iPhone 2018 will take place on September 12, pre-orders will start on September 14, and smartphones will appear in stores on September 21. This pattern is consistent with the tactics the company has followed in the past.
In addition to the new ones iPhone, the company should present Apple Watch Series 4 and iPad Pro 2018. Earlier it became known that the new line iPhone will be an 'S' update : Smartphones will have more powerful content and better camera. As for the Apple Watch Series 4, the watch will have a bezel-less display. iPad Pro 2018 will get thinner bezels and support for Face ID.

Supplement: release date iPhone XS 2018
Now we know for sure that iPhone XS will be presenting on September 12th, because last week Apple sent out invitations to their 'Gather Round' event. The table below shows that since iPhone 4 in 2011 Apple has mainly been releasing new smartphones 8 or 9 days after their presentation. Last year (and 2015) an exception was made – iPhone X came out more than a month after the presentation due to production issues.
There shouldn't be any delays this year as there were no problems with production. Apple likes to release new ones iPhone on Fridays, so most likely iPhone XS will be out on September 21st
