Apple Event 2024: All the rumors about the new iPhone 16, Apple Watch and AirPods | Life & Knowledge
On Monday, Apple plans to light up its headquarters.
“It's Glowtime” is the motto of this year's iPhone Keynote – the most important Apple event of the year. The title is a play on words, based on “It's Showtime”, which can be roughly translated as “It's glow time” and thus already indicates that Apple wants to show more than just new iPhones. As always, nothing is officially known, but the rumor mill is already in full swing.
BILD summarizes what to expect on September 9th at 7 p.m. German time – and what the glow motto might be all about.
iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro
Anyone who is looking for major visual changes in this year’s iPhone hopes could be disappointed: Apple is said to be sticking to the basic design for the 16-series models.
▶︎ Firstly, there are the displays: These are supposed to grow in the Pro models. The iPhone 16 Pro is supposed to come with a 6.3-inch display, while the current iPhone 15 Pro is 6.1 inches. Similar growth in the iPhone 16 Pro Max from 6.7 inches to presumably 6.9 inches. The non-Pro models, on the other hand, are supposed to stay at the old size.
▶︎ Also in focus: the camera. And here too, many innovations are said to be reserved for the Pro models. There is speculation about a new sensor for the ultra-wide-angle lens. And a super telephoto lens is expected for the largest iPhone 16 Pro Max.
▶︎ What the Pro and non-Pro models should have in common: a new button on the housing. The new models should have a separate shutter button for the camera, which can also be used to zoom.
▶︎ And of course, like every year, the focus will also be on the inner values: In addition to the annual processor upgrade, the so-called Neural Engine, which takes care of the calculation of AI functions, will also be strengthened.
And this is where this year's keynote motto could come into play: We've already seen a glow in the dark about features related to Apple's AI, Apple Intelligence. So it could be that Apple also has other features and news related to its own AI in store.
New Apple Watch 10 and AirPods 4
And apart from the iPhone? Among other things, the Apple Watch 10 is set to be introduced. There was speculation about a major design update, but according to the latest rumors, only a thinner case and a slightly larger display are expected.
And the AirPods are also set to be refreshed: In addition to a slightly adjusted design (they are set to look more like the Pro models), active noise cancellation could now also be part of the package.
The Apple Keynote will be broadcast either on Apple's website, on YouTube or you can follow all the latest news in BILD's live ticker.
