What to expect: iPhone 16 series and beyond
The highlight of the event will, of course, be the iPhone 16 series. The tagline “It’s Glowtime” hints at Apple’s focus on new AI-driven features, likely powered by the upgraded A18 chip, which is expected to bring a serious boost to performance. This chip is rumoured to be built around Arm’s V9 architecture, a technology previously seen in the M4 silicon that powers Apple’s iPad Pro.
One of the major updates to look forward to is AI-powered Siri enhancements, marking the first iPhones built from the ground up to leverage artificial intelligence. However, some reports suggest that marquee features like Image Playground and Genmoji may not make it into this release.
iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max: More power and features
While hardware updates are expected to be mostly incremental, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models will likely receive camera upgrades and a new capacitive capture button, making it easier to take photos and videos instantly. These Pro models are also expected to sport larger screens (6.3- and 6.9-inch respectively), giving users a more immersive experience.
| Products expected from Apple event 2024 | Expected features |
| iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus | A18 chip, Apple Intelligence support, Action button |
| iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max | A18 Pro chip, Apple Intelligence support, Bigger screens, Capture button |
| Apple Watch Series 10 | Bigger screen, lighter chassis |

For the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, Apple is reportedly adding 8GB of RAM by default and bringing several features previously exclusive to the Pro models. One such feature could be the Action button, which allows for customisable shortcuts, enhancing user control.
Other product announcements: Apple Watch Series 10 and AirPods 4
In addition to the iPhone 16 series, the event will likely see the debut of the Apple Watch Series 10, featuring a bigger display and a lighter body. Fans hoping for an Apple Watch Ultra 2024 update may be disappointed, as reports suggest that the current Watch Ultra 2 will remain in the lineup for now.
Apple is also expected to refresh its AirPods lineup, introducing the AirPods 4 with advanced features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and an integrated speaker to enhance Find My tracking. Additionally, the company might reveal the more budget-friendly AirPods SE, intended to replace the ageing AirPods 2.
The Apple iPhone 16 launch event promises to be packed with exciting announcements, from the new AI-powered iPhone lineup to enhanced Apple Watches and AirPods. With the spotlight on artificial intelligence, it’s clear that Apple is setting the stage for a more intelligent future.
