Apple has finally confirmed that the highly awaited iPhone-focused event will indeed happen this coming Monday, September 9, at its new Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California. The event goes live at 10:00 a.m. PT, with selected media representatives invited to attend.
Unveiling the iPhone 16 Series
It will be an exciting announcement this time around. The company is in line to release the iPhone 16 lineup, which will bring major new features in all models. One major standout will be the customizable Action Button and a brand-new Capture Button just underneath it on the right side of the device’s below the power button. The Capture Button now also supports built-in gestures like swiping to zoom and soft pressing for autofocus.
All the models in the iPhone 16 series will be based on the new A18 chip, which will power them to exercise the advanced Apple Intelligence features in full in iOS 18. While the standard iPhone 16 models are unlikely to get much beyond this, the Pro models will have a display size increase, with the Pro and Pro Max measuring 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch, respectively. Even better, the Pro models will also have 5x Telephoto zoom that was initially reserved for the Pro Max.
What’s new for the Apple Watch
Joining the iPhone 16, other expected Apple devices include new models of Apple Watches. The Series 10 is said to be designed slimmer with a larger display, but the changes will not be too major. Apple also will refresh the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra. It will also most likely bring new health features, such as sleep apnea detection and blood pressure monitoring, though it’s not known if these will be ready in time for this launch.
