I am planning to wait for the next Apple announcement and pre-order iPhone 13. Let's say that the announcement will happen September 14th. When usually the day the pre-order is open? And how many days to ship? Also how long does the pre-order window lasts before closing it?
Got a tip for us?

Preorders usually start the following Friday - I am just not sure of the time, it varies sometimes. It should ship a couple of days before Launch Day so that you will receive it on the day of launch (I'm basing this on other's reports; I haven't done the delivery option when I preordered the 12 Pro Max I did the pick up in store option). I could be wrong; I'm basing all this on memory from when I preordered the 12 Pro Max lol I remember the day I Preordered (Nov 6th) and the day I got it, on Launch Day (Nov 13). I just don't remember when they "announced" it or the time preorders were available as I did it rather late in the afternoon and still got it on Launch Day.
As @DiCaprioAngel mentioned, preorder usually happens a week after the official announcement, unless there are extenuating circumstances that would delay the pre-order process. Delivery of the pre-order usually occurs on the official release day, whereby customers can also purchase in store.
As to shipping, often times a pre-order enters the "processing order" status fairly quickly and often stays in that status until 2 - 3 days before actual shipment.

Re: pre-order window closing: not really a thing, as technically, you can put in a pre-order up to launch day, at which point you're not pre-ordering anymore.
Better way to look at it is, if you don't get your order in early on first day of pre-orders, you might not get a launch day delivery. But that's all contingent on how popular the new device might be in general, color(s), memory sizes, screen size, etc. Basically, depends on how popular a configuration is.
