The leaves are changing color and everything tastes like pumpkin again. It also means it’s time to buy a new iPhone. Apple is hosting its Glowtime event September 9 The event will be held at the company’s Cupertino headquarters and streamed live from the Steve Jobs Theater. 10am PST / 1pm ET You can watch it on Apple’s website, YouTube, or Apple TV.
We’ll be there to report on the new features of the next iPhone. The iPhone 16 is expected to debut. Can you believe so many generations have passed already? Apple’s event images suggest that the annual mobile hardware event will be a fun one. Let’s take a guess at what Apple plans to light up.
Brown iPhone 16 with removable battery
It’s been a while since we’ve covered any iPhone 16 hardware rumors, but that’s because it feels like we know everything there is to know about the yet-to-be-announced hardware. We know that the Glowtime event will debut the iPhone 16 family, consisting of four phones and a new Apple Watch. It might also be time for a refresh of the AirPods. Last year, they only got a USB-C port due to EU mandates. This year, Samsung’s Galaxy Buds skimped on style a bit, so the AirPods need a refresh to regain their dominance.
Speaking of European regulations, that may be why this year’s iPhone 16 will have a replaceable battery. Credible reports emerged this summer that Apple was working on developing a more replaceable battery to comply with Congressional rules. Apple has until 2027 to comply, but starting with the iPhone 16, we may see the early stages of improved repairability for this series.
The iPhone 16 is likely to feature stacked cameras at the back. The change to this variant of the base iPhone model is said to be to facilitate the recording of spatial video footage that can later be viewed on Apple Vision Pro. This was revealed by a set of dummy units of the iPhone 16 that surfaced on Chinese social media site Weibo earlier this month, with people talking about how the design is reminiscent of the iPhone X. What a time to be alive.
This month, the iPhone 16 Pro Max was also announced in brown. This is certainly an option, but Apple has not confirmed it yet. It’s not too late to turn back. It’s confusing why the 1970s brown is the common theme, despite all the marketing about “sparkle” at the event. It’s supposed to be a bronze-like color. See for yourself. So, let’s see what Apple will announce at the iPhone event.
Apple Watch 10th Anniversary
This year’s Glowtime event marks the 10th anniversary of the original Apple Watch, and a milestone anniversary usually means something special is happening.Bloomberg It has been confirmed that the Watch X is on the way, and analysts have said that Apple could launch a larger Apple Watch with a thinner case and standard dimensions of 45mm and 49mm instead of 41mm and 45mm.
The biggest expectation for the AirPods Pro 3 is that in-ear headphones be substantially revisedThe AirPods 4 is also expected to have a design upgrade, but the white tips of the AirPods were already iconic, so Apple may add ANC to the cheaper version of the AirPods.
