Apple iPhone 16 Event: What to Expect and When to Watch
Planning to upgrade your iPhone this week? Hold off because Apple’s iPhone 16 event is just days away, which means you can buy the newest iPhone or score last year’s model at a cheaper price.
Event Details
The Apple event takes place on Monday, Sept. 9 at 1PM EST (10AM PST) at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino. You can stream Apple’s It’s Glowtime event live on YouTube, as well as on Apple’s site.
New Product Announcements
As far as new products go, expect the usual September upgrades – a new iPhone 16 lineup alongside new Apple Watch models (Series 10 or Series “X,” and maybe an Ultra 3). New AirPods in both entry- and Pro-level models could also be showcased at the Apple event.
iPhone 16 Models
For the iPhone 16 models, not much is expected to change from last year’s model, which was called the “most substantial update to the regular iPhone in years.” Look for the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, with a slight increase in size and a new camera button on the latter two compared to the 2023 models, according to rumors.
iOS 18 Update
For anyone not planning to buy any new Apple devices this year, you’ll still have access to the latest iOS 18 update, likely later in September, as long as your device is eligible. Here’s everything coming with the iOS 18 update this year, including Apple Intelligence and more home screen customization options.
