Apple’s iPhone 16 event set for September 9

Apple confirms the iPhone 16 event on September 9, with expected launches of the iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10, and Ultra 3 models.

Apple has officially confirmed the date for its much-anticipated iPhone 16 launch event, and itโ€™s just around the corner. Mark your calendars for September 9, when Apple will unveil its latest innovations.

The event starts at 10 AM Pacific Time (PT), which is 1 AM on September 10 for those in Singapore. You can catch the live stream on Appleโ€™s website, the Apple TV app, or YouTube. This event, called โ€œItโ€™s Glowtime,โ€ promises to showcase some exciting new products, including the iPhone 16, the Apple Watch Series 10, and the Apple Watch Ultra 3.

What to expect from the iPhone 16

The iPhone 16 is expected to come with several upgrades that have tech enthusiasts buzzing. The Pro models are rumoured to feature bigger screens, catering to those who enjoy larger displays. The new A18 chip also powers the entire iPhone 16 lineup, offering improved performance and efficiency.

A new feature to watch out for is the Capture button, which could offer a new way to interact with the camera. Plus, Apple might introduce fresh colour options to the iPhone 16, giving users more variety when choosing their next device.

Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 3

The event isnโ€™t just about the iPhone 16, though. Apple is also expected to launch the Apple Watch Series 10. Rumours suggest that this latest smartwatch version will feature a slimmer design and come in new sizes, offering more choices for users.

Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is also expected to appear. However, significant updates to the Ultra 3 may be limited this year, leaving some fans a little underwhelmed.

Two highly anticipated health featuresโ€”blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnoea detectionโ€”might not be ready for this yearโ€™s launch.

Rumours of an Apple Watch SE for children

Thereโ€™s also speculation that Apple might announce a new Apple Watch SE targeted at children. This version could feature a hard plastic case to make it more durable for young users. If this rumour turns out to be true, it could be a big move for Apple in attracting younger customers to their ecosystem.

Whether youโ€™re looking to upgrade your phone or are simply curious about what Apple has up its sleeve, this event is not to be missed. Be sure to tune in on September 9 to see whatโ€™s new.
