Tuesday, October 13 is the reveal date for the iPhone 12. Apple has yet to confirm that we’ll hear about the phones then, but the company is hosting an event on that date and it matches all the rumors of when we’ll be hearing about the handsets.
When is the iPhone 12 release date? That’s a different question, and a variety of rumors suggest you’ll be able to pre-order handsets on Friday, October 16 but you may not be able to get them as quickly as in previous years.
And we're scheduled: Apple Event on October 13, almost certainly revealing the iPhone 12 with 'Hi(gh) Speed' (like…5G?) pic.twitter.com/qZxCyfhLJ2

According to Jon Prosser (a leaker with a mixed track record) the phones would apparently ship on the week commencing October 19 (likely meaning Friday, October 23). However, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max apparently won’t be up for pre-order or ship until sometime in November.
None of this is confirmed yet, but it may mean your wait will continue a little longer if you’re looking to buy the iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro Max.
So an exact new iPhone release date is still a little unclear at this time. We are almost certain to hear about the new phones on October 13, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to buy them right away.
Check back on October 13 when we expect to hear details from Apple, including when you’ll be able to buy them and, perhaps most importantly, how much they’re going to cost.
