iPhone 16 Series
While the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models will look largely identical to their predecessors, it appears that they will still bring new features. The Action Button is customizable for a variety of different functions including activating Focus modes and shortcuts. They may include a Capture Button for one-touch photography and video recording, as well as orientation: spatial-video capabilities realized by having the cameras on top of each other.
New colors like black, green, light pink, blue, and white are expected. The A18 chip will be an updated performance improvement and efficiency update for both models, with 8GB RAM also being common. The Pro setup would also add a Capture Button and additional camera improvements. The iPhone 16 Pro will reportedly have a 48-megapixel Ultra Wide and up to 5x Telephoto lens which was previously exclusive only on the Pro Max.
It could also make them ideal for professional use with 4K video at 120 frames per second, and probably even some level of 8K recording as well. The displays will increase slightly in size, and there will be slimmer bezels. The high-end A18 chip will come to Pro models with increased GPU performance, and those devices are also thought to have Qualcomm’s X75 5G modem for faster connectivity.
Apple Watch Series 10
The Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to mark a notable design refresh, possibly introducing larger 45mm and 49mm options. This means that the new version could feature better water resistance, updated heart rate sensors, and longer battery life. It will include sleep apnea detection, the rumors suggest, but blood pressure monitoring won’t make it to market just yet.
Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch SE 3, and AirPods 4
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 will likely share the new health features of the Series 10 but is not expected to have significant design changes. The Apple Watch SE 3 may feature a plastic casing for cost reduction and durability, along with an improved chip but no major design updates. Two versions of the AirPods 4 are anticipated: one with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and a lower-cost model. The new AirPods will feature a redesigned case with USB-C charging and potentially improved sound quality. Future updates may include hearing aid functionality and hearing tests.
Other Potential Announcements
While unlikely, there could be updates to the AirPods Max or the iPad mini 7, with new features or design changes. Software updates for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, tvOS 18, watchOS 11, and visionOS 2 will also be discussed, providing insights into the release schedules for these updates.
