Apple is organizing its big event on Monday for the first time, in which it launched the iPhone 16 lineup. This is the first time that Apple is going to organize an event on Monday for the launch of the iPhone. Let us know why the company took this decision.
The big reason behind this historic change is a court case. A day after the launch of iPhone 16, i.e. on Tuesday 10 September, the European Commission can give its decision on the fine of 14 billion dollars, for the payment of which pressure can also be put on Apple.
This case is related to a tax dispute
The fine is related to a tax dispute that alleges Apple and Ireland worked together to avoid taxes on more than $100 billion in revenue between 2004 and 2014.
This case started in the year 2016. After this, a long debate took place and a fine was imposed. The final decision is yet to come.

Could have faded the coverage of the launch
According to media reports, initially the company had planned to launch the iPhone on September 10, the day the European Commission’s decision is to come. After this, the company felt that if this decision is not in favor of Apple, then this court’s decision can overshadow the news of the launch of iPhone 16. This can fade the color of its launch. Because of this, the company decided to launch the iPhone 16 on Monday i.e. 9 September.

US elections are another reason
There is another reason for changing the launch date of Apple iPhone 16 series. Actually, the first US Presidential debate is going to be held in America on 10 September, which will be between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. In such a situation, the Apple launch event would have received less media coverage. Therefore, the company chose the launch date on 9 September.
