Appleusually launches its new iPhones and Apple Watches in September, and it looks as though Tuesday, September 10 could be the date when we get to see theiPhone 16series (andiOS 18), theApple Watch 10, theApple Watch Ultra 3, and theAirPods 4.

None of this is certain just yet, but the tip comes fromMark Gurman at Bloomberg, who is usually accurate when it comes to Apple predictions. Preorders for the iPhones will likely start on September 13, before they actually go on sale on September 20.

This September 10 date makes the most sense looking at the calendar, and going off what Apple has done in the past. It’s also a date that’s beenpreviously mentionedby tipsters, and we may well seemacOS 15 Sequoiapushed out at the same time.

Gurman says “people familiar with the matter” have pointed to September 10 as the big day, though Apple hasn’t commented. Considering it’s only a little over two weeks away, we might well see an official announcement about this sometime next week.

What to expect

There have been plenty of leaks and rumors around the four expected iPhone 16 models so far: we’re expecting faster chipsets, bigger screens for theiPhone 16 ProandiPhone 16 Pro Max, some improvements inthe camera department, and quite possibly thesame starting pricesas we saw last year.

We’ve not seen quite as much speculation around theApple Watchmodels, but some information has appeared ahead of time. It looks as though the upcoming Apple Watch 10 couldboast a larger screencompared to its predecessor, while the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is said to besticking to the same designas the current one.

As for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, and macOS 15 Sequoia, Apple revealed plenty about these software updatesat its WWDC 2024 eventin June. We might not get all of the features right away though: the talk is that someApple Intelligencefeatures are going to follow on later.
