Excitement is building among Apple fans as the release of the iPhone 16 series nears. The tech giant is expected to reveal its new lineup on September 10, 2024, sticking to its customary September release timeline.
Expected Launch Date: September 10, 2024
There have been various speculations about the exact date of Apple’s upcoming event. A recent leak indicates that the event might be scheduled for September 10 at 10 a.m. California time (10:30 p.m. India time). The leaked invitation features a distinctive brown Apple logo with the phrase “Ready. Set. Capture,” suggesting a focus on camera-related features, which aligns with rumors about a new Capture button on the iPhone 16 Pro models.
Although the reliability of the leak is not confirmed, the suggested date of September 10 aligns with Apple’s historical event scheduling, which typically occurs on the second Tuesday or Wednesday of September. Based on previous patterns, Apple might announce the event around August 27.
What to Anticipate from the iPhone 16 Series?
The forthcoming iPhone 16 series is expected to introduce several notable updates:
Apple Intelligence: A significant highlight of the iPhone 16 lineup will be “Apple Intelligence,” a new suite of AI features. This technology will be available across all iPhone 16 models and will also enhance the iPhone 15 Pro versions. However, it remains to be seen if these advancements will be enough to persuade users to upgrade.
Action Button: The standard iPhone 16 models will feature the Action button, a feature previously exclusive to last year’s Pro models. With the introduction of iOS 18’s customizable Control Center and adjustable Lock Screen, the Action button might become less significant.
Camera Design and Features: Changes in camera design are expected, with lenses arranged vertically rather than diagonally, similar to the iPhone 11 and 12 design. The iPhone 16 Pro models will also feature a new camera button on the right side, designed to function like a DSLR camera. This button will allow users to press lightly for autofocus or press harder to take photos, along with a swipe function for zooming.
Screen Sizes: The Pro models will have slightly larger screens, with the standard Pro increasing from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches and the Pro Max expanding from 6.7 inches to nearly 6.9 inches.
New Colors and Chips: As usual, Apple is expected to introduce new color options. The Pro models might see changes to the blue variant and a return of the popular rose gold. All iPhone 16 models will be equipped with the new A18 chip and 8GB of memory to support the advanced features of Apple Intelligence.
