Apple is Hosting the “It’s Glowtime” Event on September 9

Apple has started sending out invitations for its “It’s Glowtime” event, which will take place on September 9. This event is significant as it is expected to be the launch date for the iPhone 16 series. The event is anticipated to be held at the iconic Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, where Apple plans to unveil the new iPhone 16 series, new Apple Watch models, new AirPods, and more.

The event will start on Monday, September 9, at 8:00 PM Turkey time. This date is not really a big surprise; Apple has held many iPhone launches in the second week of September in the past. Renowned tech journalist Mark Gurman had previously predicted that this event would take place on September 10.

Expected Innovations at the Apple Event

So, what will Apple unveil on September 9? Let’s take a look at the details:

• iPhone 16 Series: Following the launch of the iPhone 15, four new iPhone 16 models are expected to be introduced at Apple’s September event. The basic iPhone models are expected to have similar designs and screen sizes, but the camera arrangement is expected to be vertical instead of diagonal. The screen sizes of the Pro and Pro Max models are set to increase to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively. These new iPhones will be powered by A19 and A19 Pro chips and will feature an ultra-wide lens with a 48MP sensor. Additionally, a periscope lens is expected to be added to the iPhone 16 Pro model, and most new models are expected to have longer battery life.
• Apple Watch Series 10: On the tenth anniversary of the Apple Watch, a redesign was anticipated from Apple. However, current rumors suggest that the company will present a design that is not much different from the current generation. Screen sizes may possibly increase to 45 mm and 49 mm. There are speculations that Apple will add new health sensors for conditions like sleep apnea and hypertension, but the accuracy of this remains unclear.
• AirPods 4: Apple unveiled AirPods 3 in October 2022. According to numerous reports, a new update is expected around September or October of 2024. In addition to an H2 chip and improved battery life, features similar to hearing aids, such as Conversation Boost and Live Listen, are anticipated to be added to these wireless earbuds. Bloomberg reports that Apple is targeting the hearing aid market. While these features are not confirmed, they are among the possible innovations for AirPods 4. Gurman expects Apple to announce two models of AirPods 4; both will transition from Lightning to USB-C. The entry-level version will have a design similar to AirPods 3, while the more expensive model will feature a non-removable ear tip for ANC. The high-end model may come with an updated charging case and speakers.
