Apple's 2026 autumn conference officially debuted, and this time it brought 6 new products in one breath, including the first foldable iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, as well as Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5.

However, fans who want to grab the iPhone 18 Pro series this year should pay special attention because the pre-order time is different from previous years. Apple did not choose to open pre-orders on the usual Friday this time, but postponed it to 8 pm on Saturday, September 12, and launched sales on September 18.

Apple did not explain why it adjusted the pre-order date, but it is generally believed that it may be to avoid the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

As for Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5, they will be available for pre-order at 9 am on September 11th and will also be released on September 18th.

If the target is iPhone Duo, you have to wait another month. This most talked about new folding phone is expected to open for pre-order at 8pm on October 16th and will be launched on October 23rd. In fact, the news that the iPhone Duo was postponed had already been reported before the press conference. The reason may be that the manufacturing process of the folding machine is more complicated and Apple needs more time to stock up to avoid too tight supply in the early stage of the launch.
