Apple was recently rumored to have scheduled an online event on September 8 for the announcement of various products, including the highly anticipated iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, the Apple Watch Series 6 and the next-generation iPad. The source now claims to have filtered the respective pre-order and shipping dates for these products. The information is in line with previous reports and rumors, but be sure to take it all with a big pinch of salt.
Apple Watch Series 6 and iPad (8th generation)
After unveiling the new entry-level iPad and Apple Watch Series 6 on Tuesday, September 8, the information released today indicates Apple will choose to open pre-orders for both products on Friday, September 11. Customers must be able to pre-order during the following week to receive the devices as soon as possible. Shipments for Apple Watch Series 6 and iPad 8, according to the source, will begin on Friday, September 18.

IPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max
Acting as the highlight of the September event, it will undoubtedly be the new iPhone 12 series that is designed to succeed iPhone 11. However, due to the impact of COVID-19 on the development process, not all models will ship at the same time.
Two of the iPhone models will act as so-called budget flagships dubbed the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max, and it looks like these will be the first to hit the shelves. Apple is reportedly preparing to pre-order on Friday, October 2, before shipping a week later on Friday, October 9.
That release date is much later than usual: Apple tends to launch new iPhones in the third week of September alongside the Apple Watch, and it means the models won’t be available to consumers until a month after the event.

The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max
Anyone interested in the premium flagships of the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max could, unfortunately, wait even longer due to the impact of the current global pandemic.
A week after shipments of the standard iPhone 12 models begin on October 16, the company led by Tim Cook will apparently open pre-orders for the two flagships of the iPhone 12 Pro. That will precede a launch on Friday 23 of October.
The last time Apple released an iPhone in late October was in 2018 with the iPhone XR, which faced some delays due to its never-before-used full-screen LCD display design.

Price-wise, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max appear to be on sale at $ 999 and $ 1,099 each in the United States.
AirPower and AirTags release dates remain a mystery
Accompanying all the products mentioned above in the September event must be AirTags and AirPower. These devices are rumored to take several months, but have not yet been attached to specific orders and shipping dates.
