Interestingly, the rumors were correct and Apple has announced the date of the iPhone 16 event for the second week of September.

Following the release of the iPhone 15, Apple is expected to unveil four iPhone 16 models at the September event. The base iPhone models are expected to feature the same design and display sizes, but with vertical cameras instead of a diagonal alignment.

For the Pro and Pro Max, Apple will increase the display size to 6.3 and 6.9 inches respectively. These iPhones will be powered by the A19 and A19 Pro chips, and the ultra-wide-angle lens is expected to get a 48MP sensor. Among the changes, the iPhone 16 Pro model could get a periscope lens, and most of the new models are expected to have longer battery life.

Apple Watch Series 10

For the tenth anniversary of the Apple Watch, Apple was supposed to revamp the design. However, according to recent rumors, the company will offer a similar design to the current generation, but with larger displays of 45 mm and 49 mm.

Apple is also rumored to be adding new health sensors for sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and more, but it’s unclear if that will actually happen.

AirPods 4

Apple released the AirPods 3 in October 2022. According to several reports, an update is expected in late 2024, around September or October. In addition to the H2 chip and improved battery life, these wireless earbuds could offer hearing aid-like features such as Conversation Boost and Live Listen. Bloomberg reports that Apple is targeting the hearing aid market.

Although these features are not guaranteed, these are some of the likely additions to the AirPods 4. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman expects Apple to announce two AirPods 4 models. Both would switch from Lightning to USB-C. The entry-level version would look similar to the AirPods 3, while the more expensive model would have a non-replaceable ear tip for ANC. The higher-end model would get an updated charging case with speakers for “Find My” notifications.
