iPhone 16 launch date, what other products will come with it, and other surprises revealed

We are already counting down to the Apple keynote in September 2024. This is probably the company’s most anticipated presentation to the general public, the big annual event – practically fixed in recent years in the second week of September – where we know the next generation of the iPhone as the headline moment.

However, for those of us who have already had many presentations behind us, we understand that this event is completely linked to WWDC24 – the time when Apple’s new operating systems are presented, which, along with the new devices, can discover us. another surprise, still unknown.

When is the next Apple event?

According to the dates of other years, the Apple event to present the new iPhone 16 will take place next Tuesday September 10thThe company is still planning these events for the Tuesday of the second full week of September – but this is not yet officially confirmed.

Official confirmation will come when Apple officially sends out press invites to the event, which usually takes place two weeks before. Following this calculation, this leads us to believe that Press invitations will arrive on Tuesday, August 27th.around 6:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsula time).

Just then, We will find out what the design and “theme” of this year’s invitation is.. In 2023, the invitation we received had as its main motif the word “Wonderlust”, referring to the Titanium material that appeared in many products presented at the time – as we told you from Apple Park itself in California.

Everything Apple will present in September 2024

This is when iPhones shineBut there’s always room for surprises. As we begin the countdown to the official announcement and count down the days to see what’s new from Apple, here’s what we expect the company to unveil on Tuesday, September 10:

• New iPhone 16: it will undoubtedly be the star of the keynote. It is planned the renewal of the four known models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max and that all are compatible with Apple Intelligence, which we were already able to test in person at WWDC24.
• Apple Watch Series 10: also called “Apple Watch X”, if Apple decides to celebrate the tenth anniversary like it did with the iPhone although with a not so radical redesign. A thinner body and a look closer to the “Ultra”, with a slightly larger screen.
• Apple Watch Ultra 3: visually very similar to previous generations, it seems that the changes will be made inside with new sensors about which we still know very little. The big unknown is whether this is a linear evolution. like the one we experienced from the Apple Watch Ultra 1 to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, if there are any significant changes or even if the new model would end up launching in 2026 with important sensors like the widely used glucometer.

• Last minute surprise: AirPods 4 will also arrive, Gurman himself confirmed it in his weekly newsletter a few hours ago. And what’s more, with a version that will bring nothing more and nothing less than noise cancellation at this range. The rest of the AirPods appear to be coming out later or next year.

Is there room for surprises? Without a doubt, such as the possible announcement of the launch of Apple Vision Pro in more countries (Fingers crossed that it arrives in USA, after arrival in Europe), more news from Apple Intelligence, new Apple TV+ series – albeit without device changes compared to the 2022 Apple TV 4K – and a bit last minute that we could know on the very day of the event.

What won’t be featured at the September Apple Event

Apple’s September Event This is an event focused on the renewal of iPhones and Apple Watches – with some special “guests” depending on the year – so we won’t see the iPad 11, the new iPad mini or the new MacBook Pro yet. Regarding the Mac mini, we expect some good news like a radical redesign, but it will arrive later before the end of this year.

As we mentioned earlier, the AirPods Pro 3 and the next-gen AirPods Max 2 are reportedly set to arrive in 2025, along with a rumored HomePod with a display that also fits with plans to perhaps bring Apple Intelligence to a new generation of smart speakers from Apple.

In just over a week, we will know Apple’s official title at this event, the exact date (although all data points to September 10) and which will mark the beginning of the arrival of the new generation of iPhone and Apple Watch – something we are certainly also waiting for a last minute surprise.

Update: Mark Gurman confirms the date we were talking about in this article, as well as the content of the Apple Event that we will see soon. The invitations will arrive next Tuesday, August 27, around 6:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time).
