Apple’s September hardware event is today. Here are the products we’re expecting, and when to tune in to learn all about them.
Apple will soon release the iPhone 16 series — with all the AI glamour in tow. The company confirmed that its next hardware event will happen today, September 9, at 10 a.m. PT. This year’s title is „It’s Glowtime“, playing to the vibrant and colorful animations that appear when you use the latest AI features on iOS 18, like Siri. Alongside the new iPhones, Apple is expected to announce a new Apple Watch, two AirPods, and possibly more.
Although the iPhone will capture most of the spotlight, and WWDC was only months ago, Apple may also share more about its latest software, including iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, WatchOS 11, VisionOS 2, and MacOS Sequoia.
The iPhone 16 event takes place at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, with in-person attendance reserved for staff, partners, and members of the media. However, you can always catch the livestream on Apple’s website or the company’s YouTube channel if you want to tune in.
The iPhone 16 family will be at the forefront of Apple’s event on Monday. The new phones are expected to feature upgraded camera systems (including ultrawide and telephoto lenses). With the standard iPhone 16 models, last year’s Pro-exclusive features, such as the Action button and capability to shoot spatial videos for VR, will likely be carried over.
The iPhone 16 Pro models are also getting hardware changes in the form of a new Capture Button, with touch-capacitive sensors that users can tap and swipe to control the camera. The iPhone 16 lineup is expected to have new chips under the hood, and the presumed A18 processor will give the iPhone 16 enough power to run the latest features powered by generative AI.
The Apple Watch is due for a refresh.
