Apple’s next iPhones, including the iPhone 18 Pro and the first foldable iPhone , are almost here and they’ll be announced on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Here’s all you need to know about when and how to watch the announcements as they unfold in the keynote and where to see the new video countdown. You can read a run-down of everything that’s expected to be announced here and full details of what will happen after the special event is over here .

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Special Event: Date And Time

Wednesday, Sept. 9 is the date for the event, which is tagged “Surprise and shine,” exactly the kind of gnomic phrase Apple likes to whet our appetites without giving anything much away.

Observers have suggested that the invite hints at a sky blue color for the iPhone 18 Pro and a mechanical aperture for the camera (which may be restricted to the iPhone 18 Pro Max, but we’ll see).

The time is exactly as expected: 10 a.m. Pacific (which is 1 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. for those in the U.K). That tallies with the time Apple almost always plumps for.

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Special Event: How To Watch

There are several ways to watch the keynote, which has been filmed—it’s not a live event, though there is an in-person component for members of the press to watch the broadcast at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park.

First of all, you can go to the Apple website, apple.com/apple-events . Right now, the keynote sits front-and-center on the website, with a button you can click to add it to your calendar (but you’re not going to forget, now are you?). The page also says, “Tune in at apple.com or on the Apple TV app.”

You can find this app on the Apple TV streaming box, iPhone, iPad or Mac, for instance. The app is also directly available on a number of smart TVs. Note that you don’t need to be an Apple TV subscriber to watch the keynote. It will appear in the app in the run-up to showtime.

iPhone 18 Pro Streaming On YouTube And Third-Party Sites

Then there’s the YouTube option, which means Apple’s YouTube channel . This page now has a video countdown (30 hours at time of posting this) and also notes the time the broadcast will begin, tailored to the time zone you log in from.

Some other sites are also hosting the keynote, which has the advantage that reporters can comment in real time on what’s announced, and the disadvantage that you may not want that kind of external analysis. Not long now, and we’ll know all we need to about the iPhone 18 Pro.
