Why You Should Wait to Buy a New iPhone

If you’re in the market for a new phone, it’s probably the exact wrong moment to buy an iPhone. Unless you’re in desperate need of a replacement, wait just a few days because Apple’s new iPhones will be revealed on Monday. That means you’ll be able to either opt for the company’s latest and greatest, or pick up the iPhone 15 at a reduced price really soon.

Apple’s Upcoming Event

The Apple event will be held September 9 at 1PM ET (10AM PT) at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino. You can livestream Apple’s It’s Glowtime event on YouTube, as well as on Apple’s site.

Expected New Products

We’re expecting four new iPhone models to be announced: The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Don’t expect a huge leap forward from the iPhone 15, but the major push will be around iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence. In terms of hardware, there will be a more powerful processor, slight screen size adjustments, and a new dedicated camera button for the Pro models.

Away from iPhones, we’ll likely also get new Apple Watch models (Series 10 or Series “X,” and maybe an Ultra 3), alongside new AirPods in both entry- and Pro-level models.

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. The iOS 18 update will include Apple Intelligence and more home screen customization options.

Stay tuned for real-time news and analysis on September 9.
