iOS 11 Release Date Time Begins

With an official launch date and iOS 11 release date, the countdown has begun for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners around the world.

Apple has released the new iOS 11 beta software for developers and those testing the update in the public Beta Software Program. The new betas focus primarily on fixing bugs, which is a sign that the update is making significant progress behind the scenes. Previous betas provided new features, tweaks, and various other enhancements.

Today, the iOS 11 release date has officially approached for iOS 10 users with the arrival of media invites for a launch event at the Steve Jobs Theater at the company’s new Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California.

Apple sent out invitations urging the media to attend a launch event on September 12, the same date it reported, and our sources claimed it would be the date of Apple’s rumored iPhone 8 launch.

The iPhone 8 dominates the headlines, but the company is expected to launch a wide range of products at its fall launch event. In addition to the iPhone 8, Apple is expected to show the final version of an iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, an Apple Watch 3, an Apple TV 5 and the HomePod speaker.

Apple will also showcase the software it released at WWDC 2017 in June, in a list that includes watchOS 4, tvOS 11, macOS High Sierra, and iOS 11.

The company typically uses media events to reveal new features and provide official release dates to the public. The company is expected to announce an iOS 11 release date on September 12.

Now that the iOS 11 launch date is official, we can reduce the iOS 11 release date to a few weeks in September. Apple usually releases new iOS updates a few days after media events end and iPhone pre-orders begin. New iOS software usually arrives a few days before a new iPhone is released.

Last year, the company announced the iOS 10 release date at an iPhone event on September 7. Apple released iOS 10 on Wednesday, September 13, just days before the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were released on September 16.

A year ago, Apple approved the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iOS 9 on September 9. The company released iOS 9 on September 16. The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus arrived on September 25.

If Apple follows the standard release protocol, we should see the iOS 11 release date arrive in the week of September 18. Here’s how Apple’s September dates could play out:

Apple’s new operating system will offer new features, enhancements and tweaks, including major updates to Siri, the ability to view recordings, improvements to the company’s Apple Pay platform, and some big changes to the software that powers its fleet of iPads.

While popular devices like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 6 will migrate to iOS 11, others like the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c will remain on iOS 10. Neither device received the iOS 11 beta.
