iPhone 16 Series
1. Apple is expected to launch four new models this year: the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16 Plus. All models are expected to be powered by the 3nm A18 series chipsets and support Apple Intelligence, featuring various upgrades over the iPhone 15 range.
2. Notably, the iPhone 16 Pro might include a 5X telephoto lens, an upgrade from the 3X lens on the iPhone 15 Pro, while the vanilla iPhone 16 models could sport a redesigned camera module to facilitate Spatial Video capture. Additionally, every model is likely to include a new 'Capture Button,' designed to mimic the experience of a traditional SLR or mirrorless camera.
3. Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch Series 10
Alongside the iPhone 16, Apple is set to unveil the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch Series 10. The Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to be offered in two sizes, 42mm and 46mm, an increase from the previous 41mm and 45mm models. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 may also experience a size upgrade from its current 49mm.
4. AirPods 4
The AirPods lineup this year is projected to include two variants: a basic model without Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and a higher-end option featuring ANC. In line with the AirPods Pro 2, Apple is expected to fully transition to USB-C, replacing the Lightning port found in the AirPods 3.
To catch the Apple ‘It’s Glowtime’ iPhone 16 event live in India, there are several ways: you can tune into Apple’s YouTube channel on September 9 at 10:30PM IST to watch the live stream, or you can also use the Apple TV app to livestream it as well.
Apple is expected to make the iPhone 16 available between a week or two after the launch in India. And coming to the price, speculation is building that suggests the iPhone 16 series may not see a price hike in India. This is likely due to several factors, including recent budgetary changes. Notably, rumours suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be assembled in India, as Foxconn expands its operations in the country. Once officially confirmed, local production of these models could potentially reduce costs by eliminating the need to import devices—lowering prices for Indian consumers.
