Apple’s big «Glowtime» announcements included a new iOS release and new hardware to go along with it, including updates of all your favorites. Here’s how to get your hands on them ASAP!
Apple definitely knows how to make a splash with its bi-annual live events. This month’s, titled «Glowtime», was particularly exciting, as we not only got some insight into what the new heavily AI-integrated iOS 18 will bring to the table but also iterations on some of the company’s most popular products, including the brand icons like the iPhone and AirPods.
If you’re as excited to get your hands on this stuff as we are, pre-ordering is the way to go. We’ll run down the best ways to put money down for the new Apple swag, along with when you can expect them to ship. Most retailers have Apple Watch and AirPods preorders online, but the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Max won’t be on sale until the 13th. We’ll update this page then with the best deals.iPhone 16
Today, Apple announced the iPhone 16 and the larger-screen iPhone 16 Plus.
The latest version of the cell phone that changed the world is getting a processor upgrade, with the new A18 CPU and a RAM boost up to 8GB at minimum. That’s not surprising, considering the heavier resource load that Apple Intelligence, the new AI features, will require. The iPhone 15 line used a bunch of different processors across its versions, so consolidating to one single chip makes a lot of sense.
A redesigned and rounded camera module with improved lenses is the most notable change on the exterior, which comes in five different colors. The baseline iPhone and the iPhone Plus come with two rear cameras, as well as a dedicated camera button that taps into the AI-powered Visual Intelligence tool coming in a later iOS release. The contextual Action button seen on the last generation of iPhone Pros is also included here.
