Apple for the past five years, it has used pretty much the same formula for launching pre-orders and launching sales of newly introduced products. In the first two weeks, a conference is held at which the Cupertino company reveals the next generation of its devices, shortly after that pre-orders begin, and approximately ten days later the devices reach the hands of the first customers and on the shelves of stores.

Check out the program Applu between 2012 and 2016:
iPhone 5 (2012) – event September 12, pre-orders September 14, on sale September 21
iPhone 5s (2013) – 10th September event, no pre-orders, on sale 10th September
iPhone 6/6 Plus (2014) – event September 9, pre-orders September 12, on sale September 19
iPhone 6s/6s Plus (2015) – event September 9, pre-orders September 12, on sale September 25
iPhone 7/7 Plus (2016) – event September 7, pre-orders September 9, on sale September 16
if Apple plans to continue the same pattern and it looks like it probably will, then customers could pre-order iPhone 8 and other devices on Friday, September 15. After pre-orders, apple products will be delivered as soon as possible September 22, while they also reach stores on the same day.

Although there are some deviations in the formula, for example that in 2013 Apple did not launch pre-orders for iPhone 5s due to limited quantities, the dates of September 15 and September 22 are the most likely. This was reported by the German server Macerkopf, according to which German carriers are already preparing for these two dates.
Apple will introduce the expected iPhone 8 on Tuesday, September 12th at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park. "Eight" iPhone will undoubtedly be the star of the evening, but the Cupertino giant will also come with other news, including iPhone 7s and 7s Plus, Apple Watch with LTE and 4K Apple TV.

Do you know the date? And write the formula.
So just another speculation?
Does anyone know how it is with the pre-order? when I want to pre-order a phone in Germany, it goes to the store, I pay directly and fill in the information such as address, etc. but I don't have one there, can it be a normal random address in Germany if I want to go to Dresden for the phone?
Thanks for the info
