As the annual Apple event in September approaches, various rumors about the launch of the iPhone 16 are starting to surface. Although the exact date hasn’t been announced, the event will likely take place on September 10th, with the iPhone 16 as its main star.
iPhone 16 and 16 Pro: Updates or Just Revisions?
Reported by Bloomberg, Apple will likely launch four new models: iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 16 will see changes in screen size, with the Pro models reaching 6.3 inches and the Pro Max 6.9 inches. Apple is predicted to introduce a new A18 chipset, optimized for artificial intelligence, although the improvements are still iterative.
Furthermore, rumors mention the presence of an Action Button on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, a feature that was previously only available on Pro models. This button is versatile and customizable. There is also speculation that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will have an additional button on the right side that functions as a camera control, similar to the buttons on DSLRs. However, the biggest design change may be in the camera module, which is rumored to adopt a vertical orientation on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, while the Pro models retain the square design.
Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 3: Design Evolution
As usual, the Apple Event will also feature the latest Apple Watch. This time, rumors focus on the Apple Watch Series 10 (or perhaps it will be called Series X), with a larger screen and possible significant changes to the watch band system. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is also expected to be introduced, although its design will likely not change drastically. A new AI-supporting chip is said to be present on both models.
In addition, the Apple Watch SE will also receive updates, with rumors mentioning a change from aluminum to plastic for the casing, which will likely lower production costs and prices.
AirPods 4: Necessary Updates
Apple is also expected to introduce AirPods 4 in two variants: an entry-level model and a mid-range model. Both models will use USB-C cases to align with the changes on the iPhone and second-generation AirPods Pro. Wireless charging features will likely only be available on the mid-range model.
Repiw Conclusion
The upcoming September Apple Event might not just be a launch event for new devices, but also an opportunity for Apple to show how they continue to evolve amidst intense competition. Although many rumors are circulating, one thing is certain: Apple will continue to make a splash that attracts the attention of the technology world. Will the iPhone 16 and other products meet expectations? Only time will tell.
