Apple presents iPhone 16: where and when to watch the presentation

On Monday, September 9, the American corporation Apple will hold one of the most anticipated presentations in the world of modern technologies. At 20:00 Kyiv time, the tech giant will show a new line of iPhones.

Also expected are such novelties as Apple Watch 10 smartwatch and several versions of wireless headphones AirPods. OBOZ.UA found out what innovations the iPhone 16 will have and how much money you need to prepare to buy a new gadget.

Apple CEO Tim Cook will hold the event under the slogan "It's Glowtime", and the main focus this year will be on supporting artificial intelligence capabilities. Besides, developers are likely to boast of improved cameras, higher battery life, and a new powerful smartphone processor.

The iPhone 16 presentation will be available in the app or on the official Apple Event page. Apple also promises to broadcast it live on YouTube.

Apple revealed some secrets of upcoming novelties at the WWDC global developer conference in early June 2024. Then, the tech giant announced the Apple Intelligence artificial intelligence platform, which will become the main feature of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia operating systems.

According to insiders, the new iPhone 16 line will not look much different from last year's "apple" novelties. The main feature of the Pro and Pro Max versions will be an additional button on the titanium frame of the smartphone, which will be responsible for photo and video capabilities of the gadget. Also, the older versions of the iPhone should become larger – the Pro will grow from 6.1 to 6.3 inches, and the Pro Max – from 6.7 to 6.9 inches. As for the "stuffing", Apple is likely to install a new processor in the Pro version, but the amount of RAM, according to insiders, will remain at last year's level – 8 GB.

The younger versions – iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus – will undergo changes in the appearance of the camera unit. It is expected that the two lenses will now be arranged vertically instead of diagonally. Despite the fact that Apple likes to put last year's processors in the younger versions of the iPhone, this year, all models are likely to receive the A18 chip to support artificial intelligence.

At the same time, reviewers have shamed Apple for saving on screens in the younger versions of the iPhone. According to sources, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will continue to be equipped with 60 Hz screens, while even budget Android smartphones offer users a smoother "picture" due to 120 Hz.

According to preliminary data, the price of the iPhone 16 Pro will start at $1099, while the Pro Max version will cost $1199. It is worth noting that the prices announced during the presentation apply only to the United States, so in Ukraine, the iPhone will be even more expensive. However, reliable information about the cost of the new gadgets will be known only after the presentation, as the preliminary price is based on insiders' assumptions and leaks.
