Apple has confirmed that its highly anticipated iPhone 16 unveiling event will take place on September 9th, slightly earlier than rumored. The company sent out media invites today with the tagline “It’s Glowtime.”
The event will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, starting at 10 PM PKT.
In addition to the iPhone 16 lineup, Apple is expected to unveil the new Apple Watch Series 10 (or Apple Watch X) and updated AirPods at its September 9th event. Pre-orders for the newly announced devices are rumored to begin shortly after the event concludes, with the first wave of shipments expected to arrive in select countries as early as September 20th.
As usual, Apple is expected to introduce a new color with the iPhone 16 lineup. The Pro phones are rumored to get new Gold color options that almost look like copper brown.
This new color option is certainly a departure from the norm, adding a touch of warmth to the typically cool hues of the Pro lineup. It remains to be seen whether this bold choice will resonate with consumers, but it’s undoubtedly a refreshing change of pace. These are only dummy models and the final versions could look different or have a new color altogether.
The iPhone 16 will introduce Apple Intelligence features with iOS 18, which is just Apple’s branding of its generative AI features powered by OpenAI and Google’s Gemini.
