Apple today unveils the iPhone 16 and new Apple Watches

Apple fans should mark September 9th in their calendars: tonight there will be a special event called “It's Glowtime”. What exactly this event entails is still a secret. But experienced technology lovers already have an idea of ​​what the famous company with the apple will be presenting at 7 p.m. our time in Cupertino, California.

The new iPhone is in the starting blocks and, as in previous years, will be presented to the world public in September. Apple has now arrived at the iPhone 16, which will most likely be presented today. According to the technology portal giga.de The market launch is expected to take place on the following Friday, September 20th. Numerous online shops will once again offer the new iOS gem for pre-sale and put together interesting bundles. As usual, you will find the best offers here.

But the new iPhone is not the only device that Apple will unveil on Monday evening. We've taken a look around the internet and show what fans can look forward to.

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro

As with the previous model, there will be four different versions of the iPhone 16: In addition to the regular model, a Plus device and two iPhone 16 Pro should be available. Fans can look forward to larger screens here: The iPhone 16 Pro will have a screen diagonal of 6.3 inches (previously 6.1), and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will even have a screen diagonal of 6.9 inches (previously 6.7).

Macworld Assume that there will also be new A18 processors, new camera functions, a new record button and more. Apple is of course following suit with the new Google and Samsung models and is placing a great deal of emphasis on artificial intelligence. “Glowtime” is likely to be the new Apple Intelligence that will be included in the new iOS 18 operating system. The photo app and the home screen will also probably be completely redesigned, so iPhone fans will have to make some adjustments at the beginning.

If you don't want to make any major changes or if the new iPhones are simply too expensive at the entry-level price, we recommend the previous models. These drop significantly in price around the time of the launch of new devices, so you can get top models at a low cost. Here are the top offers:

New Apple Watches in the starting blocks

In addition to smartphones, there will also be new smartwatches for iOS fans: The Apple Watch is turning 10 years old and could be called Apple Watch 10, X or Series X to mark the anniversary. The display is said to be larger and the design slimmer, although we still have to wait a few days for confirmation.

Also new: the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Apple Watch SE 3. Computer Image reports that the health functions in the new watches will be further expanded. A new sensor can supposedly measure the user's performance based on the sweat on the skin.

The previous models scored very well in the Stiftung Warentest and outshined the competition. Here are the best Apple Watches on offer:

Follow Apple event live

Do you want to be there live at the Apple event? It's easy: the latest models and their special features will be presented in a live stream on Apple's YouTube channel. It starts this evening at 7 p.m. German time.

AirPods the fourth generation

The new Airpods are also in the starting blocks: According to consistent media reports, there will be two versions.

An entry-level model replaces the older second-generation Airpods and offers a new design and a USB-C housing. The second set predates the third-generation Airpods and uses active noise cancellation for the first time. The Airpods Max 2 may also be introduced, but experts expect this to be released at a later date.

Apple fans have been waiting for the new Airpods since 2021, but the older models are very popular. You can buy them cheaply here:

• 11% discount: Apple AirPads (3rd generation) only 178 € instead of 199,00 €
• 13% discount: Apple AirPads Pro (2nd generation) only 244 € instead of 279,00 €

iPad Mini, MacBook and co.

Will there be new iPads and Macbooks presented at the Apple event tonight? Speculations are rife, but they are unlikely to come true. In any case, the experts are assuming Maclife and Macworld Assume that the development of the new hardware is not yet complete and the models will only be presented in a few months.

There were a total of three Apple events in 2023, and “It's Glowtime” is also the third event of its kind in 2024. Macbook and iPad fans will probably have to wait until next year to get their hands on the latest model of their favorite product.
