Apple has just announced the final date for its most anticipated fall event. Apple's "It's Glow Time" event is scheduled for September 9th. Traditionally, the company holds this event to introduce its annual hardware products. This year, the tech giant will unveil the upcoming iPhone 16 series along with a new generation of AirPods and the Apple Watch. However, since Apple releases new products every year, why is there so much excitement this time? The iPhone 16 will be the first Apple device to feature Apple's artificial intelligence. During WWDC 2024, the company announced iOS 18, which is said to work in line with artificial intelligence. However, this is not the only reason. It is speculated that the new series will bring several updates to the iPhone 15 and all previous series. Here are five key upgrades you can expect from the iPhone 16 series.
New design and new aesthetics: Firstly, the base model of the iPhone 16 is said to have a new design. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are likely to get a new look with vertically arranged dual cameras on the back. Now it can be said that the company is refreshing the design of the iPhone 11, but with some changes. It represents a change to the design language of the previous series. Additionally, it is rumored that the new design could include thinner bezels and a larger screen, offering users an even more immersive viewing experience. That is not true. Apple is also expected to unveil new colors for the iPhone 16 that have not yet been released.
New and Improved Chipset: The iPhone 16 series is rumored to feature a new and improved A18 Bionic chipset. Although Apple has not confirmed this yet, the leaked information suggests that the A18 is expected to have exceptional speed and performance. If this is true, the iPhone 16 series will become a powerful tool for gaming, multitasking and more.
High-resolution camera system: iPhones are known to have the best cameras in the smartphone industry. However, Apple is expected to improve it even further with the iPhone 16. According to rumors, the Pro model will come with a 50-megapixel triple camera system. This camera is said to have optical image stabilization and artificial intelligence-based features to improve the quality of photos and videos. The iPhone 16 Pro may also support up to 5x optical zoom.
Action and Record Buttons: According to rumors and leaks, all iPhone 16 devices will have an action button that is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro models. This button replaces the volume bar on the edge of your device. Additionally, there are speculations that the iPhone 16 series will also feature a shutter button. As the name suggests, the capture button improves the experience of taking landscape photos and videos. However, it is not yet clear which models will be equipped with this specification.
Advanced artificial intelligence features: To combat AI competition, Apple is introducing its own artificial intelligence called Apple Intelligence, which will be included in the iPhone 16 Pro models. Professionals now have access to another AI-powered professional function. But Apple Intelligence isn't the only artificial intelligence in this series. Additionally, Siri is integrated into ChatGPT to improve the overall experience.
Bonus: iOS 18 has a lot more to offer. Speaking of customization, iOS 18 introduces a new approach to customizing the Start Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center. Now you can place apps and widgets in any open space, including above the dock. Give your app icons and widgets a unique look with new visual effects like dark or colorful themes. Additionally, icons can be enlarged for easier access and better visual impact.
