It's official: according to Bloomberg's Mark Gruman, Apple's September event will take place on September 10, and Cupertino is expected to showcase a number of new products
At least four new iPhones are expected to be introduced: the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max There may also be an Apple Watch Series 10 and revamped Apple earphones such as Airpods 4 and Apple Airpods Max 2
Compared to rivals Samsung and Google, Apple tends to be harsher about rumors However, that does not mean there are no leaks in their ship
Garman says that “the iPhone 16 will have a larger screen in its Pro model and new camera features, including a dedicated button for snapping photos” However, this reporter expects more significant changes for wearables, which he says will include a thinner Apple Watch, a larger screen, and two new AirPods models
We've gathered seven of the top rumors we found to give you an idea of what you might see when Apple finally reveals the next generation iPhone and other devices
Apple is really thinking big this year, as there are multiple rumors that the iPhone 16 Pro will increase in size The regular iPhone 16 Pro is said to grow from 61“ to 63”, making it a more mid-size phone
The iPhone 16 Pro Max, on the other hand, is said to be 69 inches, a pretty big jump from the iPhone 15 Pro Max's 67 inches By comparison, the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Google Pixel 9 Pro XL are both 68 inches In other words, the new iPhone 16 Pro Max will be the largest non-folding US flagship model
We've heard conflicting rumors about this, but it's clear that Apple is reportedly adding a so-called capture button to at least some iPhone 16 models The button works just like a real camera, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman A half-press of the button activates autofocus, while a full-press snaps a photo
There is something even more interesting Swiping a finger over the capture button allows users to zoom in and out while taking a photo or video It is expected that Apple will add this feature to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, but it is also very possible that it will be available on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus
Over the summer, it seemed as if every tech company, from streamers to manufacturers, had agreed to a price increase According to recent rumors, Apple is likely to keep iPhone prices unchanged, with only a slight price increase on the iPhone 16 Pro
The base level of each iPhone 16 is expected to remain the same; as it did with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple may drop the 128GB storage capacity on the iPhone 16 Pro, which would raise the price $100 to $1,099
Apparently, 2024 is the year Apple becomes huge in all its products, and the Apple Watch Series 10 is rumored to have the biggest design change since the Apple Watch 7 Rumor has it that there will be two versions and that the size of the Apple Watch will increase from the current 41mm and 45mm to 45mm and 49mm
If the renderings are to be believed, the Apple Watch 10 display will be 2 inches, which could make it the largest Apple Watch ever Despite the larger display, it may be smaller than the 193-inch Apple Watch Ultra and have thinner bezels
If Apple can make sleep apnea detection and blood pressure tracking a reality with the Apple Watch 10, it would be a great reason to pick up Apple's next smartwatch Unfortunately, this feature is still undecided, so it's not clear if the new watch will include these features
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that neither feature seems to be working well in testing Sleep apnea is also associated with blood oxygen saturation tracking, and Apple has been sued by Masimo for patent infringement, so this feature has not been circumvented
If Apple cannot find a workaround for either feature, it may not be unveiled until next year Still, conflicting reports suggest that the feature will debut this year
Apple has not updated the original AirPods since the third generation launched in 2021 However, according to reports, the new AirPods will be introduced at Apple's September event Allegedly, Apple is about to release a less expensive set to replace the AirPods 2 and a sequel to the AirPods 3
Beyond price, the main difference between the two versions is ANC The more expensive AirPods 3 sequel is supposed to offer active noise cancellation, which only AirPods Max and AirPods Pro models currently feature
