Apple is gearing up for one of its biggest events of the year, with the much-anticipated iPhone 16 launch scheduled for September 10. This event is expected to be packed with announcements, including the reveal of new Apple Watch models and the next-generation AirPods 4.
iPhone 16 Launch Confirmed for September 10 Amidst Excitement
Traditionally, Apple hosts its iPhone launch events in the early days of September, and this year seems to be following the same pattern. According to information from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPhone 16 series, alongside the Apple Watch Series 10, will be officially introduced on September 10. Following the event, these devices are slated to hit the market on September 20, coinciding with the public release of iOS 18, which will finally exit the beta stage.
While these details are based on informed speculation, the credibility of the source suggests that the September 10 date is highly likely. Interestingly, just a few days ago, rumors swirled online regarding a fake Apple event invite with the tagline “Ready. Set. Capture.” The date on this mock invite was also September 10, which now appears to have been an accidental but accurate prediction.
What to Expect: iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series 10
Apple’s iPhone 16 event is poised to be a game-changer, with the company planning to introduce significant upgrades across the entire lineup. Among the most notable changes is a vertical camera setup, complemented by the introduction of an Action Button on all four models. Additionally, a new Capture Button will be featured across the lineup, enhancing the iPhone’s video recording capabilities.
Another major update includes the transition to USB-C on the standard models, enabling support for Spatial Video recording—a feature previously exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro models. It will be fascinating to see how Apple differentiates the A18 chip across the iPhone 16 lineup and what performance improvements it will offer.
Alongside the iPhone 16, Apple will also unveil the redesigned Apple Watch Series 10, which is rumored to feature a slightly larger display. Additionally, the company is set to introduce a new plastic Apple Watch SE aimed at a younger audience. Reports also suggest that Apple plans to release two new variants of the AirPods targeting both mid-range and high-end markets.
Pre-orders and Launch Timeline
Pre-orders for the iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10, and the new AirPods models are expected to begin shortly after the September 10 event, with the official launch anticipated approximately a week later. We will keep you updated as soon as Apple sends out official event invites to select attendees. Do you think Apple will stick to its traditional September 10 date for the iPhone 16 event?
