Apple is set to unveil its new lineup of products, including the highly anticipated iPhone 16, at an event scheduled for September 10, according to sources telling Bloomberg. In addition to the new smartphone, the company is expected to announce the Apple Watch Series 10 and two new AirPods models, which promise to bring significant innovations.
These products are expected to hit the market from September 20th, offering consumers new features in design, functionality and performance.
New iPhones: Bigger Screens and Improved Features from Apple
The main new feature in the iPhone 16, compared to its predecessors, is the increase in screens on the Pro models.
The iPhone 16 Pro will now have a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will come with a 6.9-inch display, up from the previous versions that had 6.1 and 6.7 inches, respectively. This change is intended to provide a more immersive experience, especially for users who rely on the device for media consumption, gaming, and productivity.
Another expected update is the addition of a dedicated camera button, which promises to facilitate quick access to the application and improve usability when capturing photos and videos.
Apple is also testing new AI features that are expected to roll out with the iOS 18.1 update, shortly after the launch of new iPhone models. These features could include improved image processing, more advanced facial recognition and smarter virtual assistants.

Apple Watch Series 10: Thinner design and improved functionality
The Apple Watch Series 10 is also expected to take center stage at the September event. The main change expected is a slimmer design, which will make the device even more comfortable to wear.
Additionally, the displays will be slightly larger, allowing for clearer and more detailed viewing of the information displayed. While Apple is focusing on design and usability improvements, the Apple Watch Series 10 is also expected to bring new health and wellness features, including improved sensors for heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring.
These updates are especially relevant for users who rely on Apple Watch as a health monitoring device, reinforcing Apple's position as a leader in wearable technology.
Additionally, deeper integration with the Apple ecosystem should ensure a more cohesive experience for users who own other Apple devices.
AirPods: Active Noise Cancellation and New Models
Another highlight of the event should be the launch of two new AirPods models, which should replace the current 2nd and 3rd generation versions. The big news will be the introduction of active noise cancellation in an intermediate model, something until now exclusive to the AirPods Pro.
This feature is highly desired by users looking for a more immersive audio experience, blocking external noise and providing better sound quality.
The new AirPods are expected to combine features from the 3rd generation models with the AirPods Pro, creating a product that offers both comfort and superior performance.
Apple hopes that this update will attract a new user base, especially those who have not yet upgraded to the Pro models. In addition, these new AirPods are expected to bring improvements in battery life and connectivity with other Apple devices, ensuring a more fluid and uninterrupted user experience.
Macs with M4 chips: The future of processing
While the September event is traditionally focused on the launch of iPhones and wearables, there are rumors that Apple could also introduce new Macs powered by the fourth-generation “Apple Silicon” chips.
According to developer reports, these Macs are being tested with four different variants of the M4 chip. Three of these variants feature a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU configuration, while the fourth model features an eight-core CPU, split evenly between performance and efficiency.
The new Macs promise to raise the bar for performance, especially for tasks that require a lot of processing power, such as video editing, software development and applications that use artificial intelligence. In addition, Apple may discontinue models with 8 GB of RAM, focusing on more robust versions that start at 16 GB, better meeting the demands of professional users.
Expectations for the future
While the hardware updates planned for this year promise to be interesting, many Apple users are already eyeing the possible innovations of the “iPhone 17 Slim”, which is expected to be released next year.
With the constant evolution of Apple products, the company continues to set new standards of quality and innovation in the technology market.
The September event will be a pivotal moment for Apple, cementing its leadership and setting the stage for future innovations that will surely continue to impact the global technology market.
