iPhone 16 Series
The biggest focus of Apple’s event will be on the iPhone 16 series. Apple is expected to launch 4 new iPhone 16 models. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will have new designs compared to the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. The design of the camera module will be similar to the iPhone X in a vertical layout. On the other hand, Apple may opt for the A18 chip for these models, a processor that will be able to run all the AI tasks that come with iOS 18.1.
iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be launched at this event. The Pro model will not have any major changes in terms of design compared to the current model except for slim front bezels. This will help Apple fit larger 6.3 and 6.9-inch screens. Apple will use the more powerful A18 Pro chip for these models. All iPhone 16s this year will support action buttons. Apart from this, the iPhone 16 series is also expected to include a camera-focused capture button.
Apple Watch Series 10
Apple can launch its new smartwatch Apple Watch Series 10 in this event. New series of smartwatches have often been introduced with new iPhones. Rumors suggest that the new watch may come with a slimmer body and slim front bezels. A new 49mm size can also be available. A special version may also come with a new design. The company can introduce an Apple Watch SE.
AirPods 4
Apple is also expected to introduce the AirPods 4 at its upcoming event. Apple will announce new mid-range and entry-level AirPods 4 to compete in the true wireless headphone market. The upcoming AirPods include a USB-C port instead of the Lightning connector, Bluetooth 5.3, an H2 chip for more features, and new colors.
Apple Intelligence
Apple may focus on AI with separate Apple Intelligence features for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models. Apple Intelligence will play a key role in the announcement of new devices. It remains to be seen what features the company has planned for the new devices.
iOS 18 and other software updates
Soon after the event, Apple will roll out iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, and visionOS 2 beta testing candidates for developers. The updates will be rolled out soon, when devices become available before September 20. The new software update will have all the features that the company announced earlier this year, including several AI features that Apple announced at its WWDC event.
