Apple’s iPhone 16 event is going to air on September 9th at 1 PM ET. Catch the latest and greatest at Apple live from the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. “It’s Glowtime” is the slogan, hinting at really exciting updates. The plot will revolve around hardware upgrades and software enhancements.
This year’s iPhone lineup may not feature dramatic hardware changes but focus on refining software and integration of AI-powered Apple Intelligence. Slightly larger screens and redesigned cameras are a possibility for the new iPhones. The basic models might drop the square for a vertical camera layout.
A new capture button might be added, improving the photography and video recording feature in particular. This button would include zoom gesture controls, making landscape mode easier. Adding this feature to all the models or just the Pro versions is not clearly explained.
Apple is expected to announce, in addition to the iPhone, the Apple Watch Series 10 with a larger screen and maybe a new chip for higher performance or efficiency. Reports also note changes to the band system, which could affect compatibility with bands already available.
Finally, it’s time to refresh the AirPods with some new entry-level and mid-tier versions. Here, feature enhancements are expected, with the possibility of options for wireless charging. Apple will probably release iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and other major updates shortly after the event. So let’s wait for the iPhone 16 Event until later in October.
