Next Apple event 2024: When is the next Apple launch event, and what will we see?

The Apple event calendar is pretty regular, and there are usually some key dates we can predict every year without fail. However, the company also scatters in some extra bonus events and surprises us every so often. With that in mind, what do we know about Apple's next event?

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has confirmed that while Apple has a lot of new hardware in the pipeline, Apple is not planning to host a March event for 2024. Instead it announced its new M3 MacBook Air by way of a press release and is expected to do the same for a new OLED iPad Pro and a new iPad Air 6. 

Because Apple has so few events each year, this means that the next Apple event to take place will actually be WWDC 2024. Based on past form, we can assume Apple will host this in very early June and will unveil iOS 18, macOS 15, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, and more. Apple has announced WWDC as early as March 13, and as late as April 18 in recent years. 

Apple's next event 2024: The headlines 

• What is it? WWDC
• When is it? Probably the first week of June
• Expected announcements: iOS 18, macOS 15, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11

WWDC 2024: When is Apple's developer conference?

We've been told to expect some brand new products at the March 2024 Apple event. Specifically, we can expect a new M3 MacBook Air, likely a 13-inch and 15-inch variant. There's also reportedly going to be a new OLED iPad Pro with M3, and a new M2 iPad Air 6 featuring a new larger 12.9-inch model. Apple Vision Pro is also tipped for launch early next year, so it's possible Apple could confirm the release of the spatial computing headset at the same time. 

iPhone 16 event: When will Apple announce its next iPhone?

Apple's next iPhone 16 event should take place in September 2024. It will likely be held on a Tuesday early in the month, either September 3 or September 10, in keeping with previous years.
