Expected announcements from Apple

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus: An Action button and a new Capture button for immediate photo-taking capabilities are anticipated. Both models are also thought to feature the robust A18 chip, improving integration with Apple’s AI technology.

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max: Predictions for these Pro models suggest larger displays, measuring 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively, along with advanced ultrawide cameras. The iPhone 16 Pro is also expected to introduce a tetraprism telephoto lens, similar to the Pro Max’s capabilities.

Apple Watch Series 10: Updates may include a slimmer design with larger display options, improved battery life, and possibly the addition of sleep apnea detection features.

Apple Watch Ultra 3: The next iteration of this robust, premium smartwatch is rumored to keep its current design but include a more powerful chip and health enhancements similar to those of the Apple Watch 10. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman disagrees and thinks Ultra 3 will not be announced.

Apple Watch SE 3: Apple’s budget-friendly smartwatch may become more affordable and sport a new plastic build with a larger, tougher screen.

AirPods 4: An update to the AirPods is highly likely, featuring better ergonomics and a USB-C charging case. Two versions are expected: a more affordable model and a higher-end version with active noise cancellation.

iPad mini 7: Apple’s compact tablet is slated to receive an upgraded processor for better performance with Apple Intelligence, support for Wi-Fi 6E, and new color choices.
