With the next iPhone launch event expected to take place in the coming weeks, we run through everything you need to know.
If you weren’t bowled over by Google’s attempt at making a handset that looks like an iPhone, you don’t have to wait much longer for the real thing. Apple will host the iPhone 16 launch event in the coming weeks, with the world of tech keen to see if the latest iOS smartphone offers anything new and innovative. With AI in the spotlight and the competition fierce, the stakes are high for Apple. We’ll be tuning in, and if you’d like to do the same, this quick rundown will tell you when and how to watch and what to look out for.When will the iPhone 16 series launch event happen?
There was much speculation that Apple would launch the iPhone 16 on September 10. This was a guestimate and turned out to be off, although not by much. Earlier today, Apple announced on its website that the event will take place on September 9, 2004, at 10:00 AM PT.
For the record, neither Apple’s recent announcement nor any previous one has confirmed the iPhone 16 will definitely be unveiled on this date. It’s just billed as a special Apple Event. But this is a technicality — the idea that this showcase would happen without the next generation of Apple’s iconic flagship is inconceivable.How do you watch the iPhone 16 series launch event?
For those lucky enough to get an in-person invite, the event will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. The rest of us can tune in online.
You’ll be able to watch the event on the Apple homepage, the Apple TV app, or the company’s YouTube channel. We’ll also provide a feed of the coverage on our site.What can you expect to see at the iPhone 16 series launch event?
While the iPhone 16 will undoubtedly take center stage, it’s unlikely to be the only announcement that we see. There will be some iOS 18 talk for sure, and we may get a clearer picture of when the stable build of the new OS version will roll out. On the hardware side, here are all of the launches that we’ll be looking out for.
The leaks and rumors tell us enough to know that we can expect evolution rather than revolution with the iPhone 16 series. That means four devices will make up the range: the iPhone 16, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, and 16 Plus. There may be some subtle dimension changes, but pricing is largely expected to remain the same as the iPhone 15 line.
One significant change might be the introduction of the Action Button, which was previously exclusive to the Pro models, across the entire iPhone 16 lineup. Another rumored addition is the “Capture Button,” which could be located on the right side of the device.
