Mark your calendars!

Don’t worry if you can’t make it in person – the event will be live-streamed globally, so you can catch all the excitement from the comfort of your own home. Tune in at 10 a.m. PT/ 1 p.m. ET to witness the unveiling of Apple’s latest innovations.
Apple’s annual iPhone launch events have become a highly anticipated tradition in the tech world. Every September, Apple unveils its latest iPhone lineup, along with other product updates and releases. Engadget points out that Apple is likely to focus on software upgrades rather than hardware this year.
Even so, these events are known for their sleek presentations, surprises, and exciting announcements that set the tone for the coming year in mobile technology. Last year’s iPhone 15 launch introduced groundbreaking features like Dynamic Island and a 48MP main camera.
As with previous years, expectations are high for the iPhone 16 launch event. Rumors and leaks have been circulating for months, hinting at incremental design changes, camera improvements, and powerful new features that will keep Apple at the forefront of the smartphone market.
Rumored Features and Upgrades
Get ready for some exciting upgrades with the iPhone 16 lineup. Rumor has it, you can expect slightly bigger screen sizes, giving you more space to enjoy your favorite content according to Techcrunch. And who doesn’t love new colors? Apple is said to be introducing fresh hues to make your iPhone 16 stand out from the crowd.
But it’s not just about looks. The iPhone 16 is expected to pack a faster chipset under the hood, supercharging Apple’s suite of AI features, known as Apple Intelligence. This means smarter, more intuitive experiences across the board.
Remember the action button introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro? Well, it’s likely coming to all iPhone 16 models. This second button will serve as a dedicated camera trigger, making it a breeze to capture stunning shots in landscape mode.
And that’s not all. The event might also bring some surprises for Apple Watch fans. The Apple Watch Series 10 is rumored to sport a bigger screen and a new chip, making it more powerful than ever. Plus, there’s talk of two new versions of AirPods to elevate your listening experience.
