Its pretty much always the Friday after the event at 5am PT (used to be Midnight PT). So 9/13; 5am PT.

so will pre orders start on 13th and be also officially released on 9/13? Or no the release comes after 9/13? IF my question makes sense. Meaning will i be able to buy and get the device on 9/13/24 at a apple store? have it in my hands on 9/13?

Likely not. If I remember correctly, last year pre-orders began on Friday after the announcement, and deliveries began the following Friday. That's why it's called "pre-ordering".

When’s the best time to get off the 18.0 beta train? I’m asking in relation to when I upgrade devices I don’t want issues. Thanks

If it follows every other year, pre-orders will be 9/13 with launch on 9/20.

Not sure if I am following your question. A pre-order is when you can order in advance of the launch day. If you were expecting to get it the same day as a pre-order, it wouldnt be a pre-order.

The RC is going to be released 9/9 after the event. So technically speaking, that will be the final release absent any emergencies. But in any event, 18.0 should be publicly released on 9/17; the Tuesday before release date. So at that point, you will be able to update to 18.0 and join the public release cycle for your new phone. If you are on 18.1, then you will be stuck on the beta train until that is released, which means you will need to update your new phone to 18.1 before you can restore your backup.

Depending on what time zone you live in, there’s very little reason to take a day off just to preorder. I’m usually done within 5 minutes after pre-order is live. Just make sure you favorite the configuration that you want and have correct payment/address the night before on your account. Have CVV code handy when you’re pre-ordering. If you’re not using Apple Pay, it will ask you to verify it.

If in-store pick-up is available, I usually go that route and pick it up as early as possible on the release day. Then there’s no waiting for the package to be delivered.
