Tech giant Apple is rumored to be planning a major hardware launch event for September 10th, according to sources familiar with the matter. The event is expected to feature the highly anticipated iPhone 16 lineup, along with updates to Apple’s popular smartwatch and wireless earbud offerings.
This information comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who has a strong track record of accurate reporting on Apple’s plans. If the September 10th date holds, consumers could get their hands on the new devices as early as September 20th. It’s important to note that Apple has not officially confirmed the event or the release date. The company declined to comment on the rumors.
Sources suggest Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 lineup will feature a redesigned capture button, similar to Sony’s approach, along with enhanced camera capabilities. These details were recently leaked, alongside expectations of upgraded processors and slightly expanded screen sizes. The new iPhones will also incorporate Apple’s latest AI features.
For wearable tech enthusiasts, the Apple Watch X or Series 10 is rumored to boast larger displays within a slimmer profile. Additionally, Apple is anticipated to introduce two variants of its standard AirPods, with one model offering noise cancellation for the first time in the non-Pro range.
Other than the new hardware launches, we may also see new iOS 18 features alongside the iPhone 16 launch which were not announced during the WWDC 2024 earlier this year. Stay tuned.
