Everyslenderg To Expect From Apple’s iPhone 16 Launch On September 9

Los Angeles, California:

Apple Inc.’s most convey inant event of the year apshows place Monday, when the company will roll out its procrastinateedst iPhones and set the stage for a new synthetic intelligence platcreate.

The event boots off from Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California, on Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. local time. Apple doesn’t typicpartner hgreater this event on a Monday, but the earlier timing lets the company get out ahead of an eventful Tuesday: There’s a US plivential talk about that day, and the European Corelocaterlookion is sprocrastinateedd to proclaim a decision on whether Apple has to pay $14 billion in taxes stemming from a prolongedstanding consentment with Ireland.

The most meaningful product proclaimment will be the iPhone 16 line, but the company is also preparing meaningful refreshs to both the Apple Watch and AirPods. Apple Intelligence – a new suite of AI tools that comprises an refreshd Siri digital aidant – also will feature famously. The theme of the event, “It’s Glowtime,” is a reference to Siri’s new interface.

The sapshows are high for Apple, which watchs to show to both devourrs and Wall Street that it’s now a meaningful joiner in generative synthetic intelligence. But the company’s AI technology is still a labor in better. Apple Intelligence has faced many procrastinates, and many key features won’t get to until next year. For now, the technology is intensifyed on summarizing messages and notifications, rather than suiting the dazzling participateivity of rival systems.

Even so, Monday’s refreshs will breathe new life into products that sit at the heart of the Apple device lineup and produce rawly 60% of the company’s annual revenue. They also drive devourr spfinishing on services, an increasingly vital source of sales. Apple’s finances could participate the raise. The company has only equitable befirearm to eunite from its prolongedest sales slump in decades.

Here’s everyslenderg that’s foreseeed to be proclaimd at Monday’s currentation:

iPHONE

In line with the past cut offal years, Apple will present four new iPhone models: the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.

Like in 2023, the changes to the non-Pro iPhones will be inmeaningful. The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will watch enjoy last year’s versions, including 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screen sizes and aluminum cases. They’ll achieve speedyer processors and comprise a total of 8 gigabytes of memory (up from 6). That memory will help aid Apple Intelligence and other features.

Those reduce-finish phones will get the same Action button currently featured on the Pro models, as well as verticpartner stacked rear cameras that aid spatial video recording – the 3D clips that can be watched with Apple’s Vision Pro headsets.

The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, uncomardentwhile, will grasp the iPhone 15 Pro line depict save for one acunderstandledgeable change: the disjoins. The screen sizes are increasing to 6.3 inches on the petiteer model (up from from 6.1 inches) and going to 6.9 inches from 6.7 inches on the Max version. While the changes recurrent an increase of less than 5% on both models, the shift will come with bezels that are now about a third slendermer. That should produce for a sleeker overall watch.

Like the iPhone 15 Pro line, the 16 Pro models will aid Apple Intelligence with the inclusion of 8 gigabytes of memory. They’ll also get speedier chips with an betterd neural engine that Apple will say is enhanced for AI.

Both of the iPhone 16 Pro models will get camera enhances as well, including a relocate to a 48-megapixel lens from a 12-megapixel one for the ultraexpansive-angle camera. That will suit the megapixels of the standard, expansive-angle camera on last year’s model. The petiteer iPhone 16 Pro will also achieve 5x chooseical zoom on the telephoto lens, up from 3x, to suit the Max version.

The most meaningful camera betterment coming to both models: a pledgeted, touch-comardent button on the right side of the phone for taking photos and video. This button will be the biggest selling point for the new iPhones, other than AI. It will labor aforeseeed to a shutter button on a DSLR camera, apvalidateing a participater to airyly press it to intensify on a subject and then press difficulter to apshow a picture. It will also be capacitive, apvalidateing a participater to swipe apass it to relocate between still and video modes and zoom in and out.

While the phones will all watch mostly the same as last year, Apple is shaking up its color palette. The Pro models will now come in a ggreater titanium to swap blue titanium, while the bdeficiency, white and authentic chooseions will still be participateable. The non-Pro versions will trade in yellow for white and get new shades of green, pink and blue.

AIRPODS

Apple is preparing two new AirPods models to swap the entry-level, second-generation earbuds and mid-tier, third-generation model. Both new versions will watch aenjoy to the AirPods Pro and comprise a new case, USB-C charging and betterd audio quality.

Apple will differentiate the two models by giving the new mid-tier version a higher-finish case with a speaker – making it easier to find with Apple’s Find My feature – as well as noise call offlation to suit the AirPods Pro.

A restrictcessitate weeks ago, Apple uncovered a bug in the upcoming AirPods that made the earbuds rapidly drain battery life. This rehire was resettled to be software-roverdelighted and resettled prior to factories shipping out the products.

One meaningful new feature is a bigger push into hearing health. Apple has been laboring to turn the AirPods into a swapment for hearing helps as well as a device for carry outing hearing tests. The company is preparing to proclaim the betterments – codenamed Yodel – but they’ve suffered some procrastinates and may not be participateable until procrastinateedr.

A new version of the AirPods Pro remains in the labors, including an enhanced depict and betterd noise call offlation. It’s due as timely as next year.

And Apple has been laboring on refreshd AirPods Max headphones that will come in new colors and switch the Lightning uniteor to USB-C to comply with the procrastinateedst laws from the European Union. But there’s still plenty of current AirPods Max produceory on hand, proposeing that the refresh could be coming procrastinateedr.

APPLE WATCH

For the first time in two years, the company is preparing to refresh all of its Apple Watch models at once. There will be a new low-finish Apple Watch SE, a mid-level Series 10 model and an Ultra 3.

The Apple Watch Ultra will only get inmeaningful tfrails, intensifying on inner enhances rather than outside changes.

The biggest enhance to the Apple Watch line will be with the Series 10 model, which labels the decade anniversary of the product’s introduction in 2014. For the first time since the Series 7, the flagship Apple Watch model will get an refreshd watch.

The overall depict will be aenjoy to the Apple Watch Series 9, but the company will now propose sairyly bigr screen-size chooseions and the watch case itself will be acunderstandledgeably slenderner.

Though new AI features are coming to the iPhone, iPad and Mac, don’t foresee the watches to get meaningful Apple Intelligence capabilities. Any AI technology will probably be tied definitepartner to a future health coach service.

At the commence of the year, Apple was forced to delete blood-oxygen sensing from new watches due to a legal case with Masimo Corp. over patents. There’s been no evidence that the feature is returning in time for the procrastinateedst models, and that may impact whether participaters want to enhance their existing watches to versions that won’t have the function.

A meaningful new health feature is coming, though: sleep apnea uncoverion, which will produce on the existing sleep tracking. This feature will endeavor to resettle if a wearer has sleep apnea and then propose further testing with a medical professional. While Apple has been preparing to proclaim it, the betterment may not be participateable on day one of the new model going on sale.

On the other hand, while Apple aimed to convey hypertension – or high blood prescertain – uncoverion to the Apple Watch this year, signs point to that feature being procrastinateed and no prolongeder in the cards for an instant free.

OTHER PRODUCTS

Apple is laboring on transitioning its entire Mac line to M4 chips, commenceing with the MacBook Pro, Mac mini and iMac. But any Mac enhances are foreseeed to come at a trail-up begin – no earlier than October – rather than at the September event.

While the company has been laboring on an refresh to the Apple TV set-top box for as timely as this year, no new model has come to fruition and constant produceory of the device proposes a new version isn’t on the instant horizon.

A new iPhone SE with an OLED disjoin, edge-to-edge screen and no home button is in proceedd testing, but a free isn’t intentional until next year. A new AirTag is also in growment, though Apple isn’t schedulening a free until next year either.

There are also new iPads in the labors, including an enhanced mini version. They’re on deck for Apple’s October event aprolongedside the M4 Macs.
