As Bloomberg's Mark Gurman puts it, September 10 might be the day when we can expect a new iPhone and upgraded accessories. When might we be in store for the likes of a new iPhone 16 and other new Apple products, such as MacBook Pro laptops with M4 chips inside.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman said that, according to his sources, the September 10 launch event could bring in new lineup series like an iPhone 16, an Apple Watch Series 10, and two sets of new AirPods so they can be launched as soon as possible. The new phones, says Bloomberg, shall come with larger screens, with the Pro models having increases from last year 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches for the Pro and 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro Max and an added dedicated camera button.
Other major updates could be the new Apple Intelligence feature that has been testing and is due to roll out in iOS 18.1 once the new phones have launched. For further changes in hardware, Apple users of mobile phones may have to wait for another year before they get to see the launch of the new iPhone 17 Slim. For new laptops with Apple Silicon chips of the fourth generation, the first to appear in the latest iPad update, Gurman states logs, copious development logs show discrete versions of Macs being tested with four different versions of the M4 chip.
Of these, three groups match up to the iPad Pro for a 10-core CPU, along with a 10-core GPU, while the fourth group has an 8-core CPU that is split evenly between performance and efficiency, but all of them come with either 16GB or 32GB of memory.
In fact, yes, a brand new $1600 computer should come with more than 8GB of RAM. How much MacBook is enough MacBook? Apple doesn't typically release new Macs at the same time as its iPhones, but should both of these launch later this year, it's not hard to think that making space for local AI models could push 8GB RAM models out of existence.
Finally, the Apple Watch Series 10 family is said to be going thinner but with bigger screens. As Gurman first reported last fall, the AirPods lineup could eventually phase out the existing second- or third-generation headphones for two new ones that look more like a cross between third-generation AirPods and AirPods Pro, as the upgraded mid-range set brings active noise cancellation to regular AirPods for the first time.
