Apple is set to unveil its latest iPhone range along with other product updates at its Apple Event Monday.
The September event, tagline “It’s Glowtime,” is rumored to be centered around the Silicon Valley giant’s flagship phone offering, which may be upgraded to support artificial intelligence capabilities and improve the phone’s camera.
Apple watchers also suggest that the Apple Watch and Airpods are due to receive an upgrade.
The Apple event kicks off at 1 p.m. EDT/10 a.m. PDT on Monday and will be streamed on the company’s website and YouTube channel.
Here’s what’s rumored to be unveiled at Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event
iPhone 16 and 16 Plus
The anticipated headline announcement from Apple Monday is the new iPhone 16 range.
The major upgrade rumored to be in the iPhone 16 is a new A18 chip with 8GB of ram to enable the support of Apple Intelligence, the company’s artificial intelligence software.
9to5Mac reported in March that the new chip had been designed to support on device artificial intelligence.
The new models are said to be gaining an action button, replacing the iPhone 15’s mute toggle that had been previously incorporated into the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, according to MacRumors.
The cameras on the iPhone 16 will likely be rearraigned from the diagonal orientation of the iPhone 15 to the vertical layout seen in the last generation’s Pro models. The change, according to 9to5Mac, is to support the recording of spatial video.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted on social media site X that the company will release the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 plus in black, green, pink, blue, white.
iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max
The premium iPhone tier is set to see larger screens and a solution to the previous model’s heat management problems.
MacRumors reported that the displays of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max would each be .2 inches larger than the equivalent iPhone 15 model at 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively. The site suggested that the phones would be slightly larger than its predecessors.
9to5Mac reports that the iPhone 16 Pro could see the same 5x zoom tetraprism camera that is currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The model could be able to to record video at 4K resolution at 120fps for the first time.
The upper line could see the addition of a “capture button” that would open and operate the phone’s camera. 9to5Mac reported that the button could appear on all models while MacRumors suggested that it could be a Pro and Pro Max exclusive feature.
A leaked photo from Apple watcher Kotusami Ito posted to X in November showed a prototype of the battery case that could be used in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max to prevent overheating issues that plagued the iPhone 15 Pro. The case would use a metal cover instead of a tin one.
Kuo predicted that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will be available in black, white or silver, gray and rose.
Air Pods 4
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported in November that the company was planning an overhaul to the wireless earbud offering and 9to5Mac suggested that the results of the shake up are due Monday.
The company will sunset the Airpods 2 and Airpods 3, brining the entry level and midlevel wearables under the Airpods 4 banner.
The entry level Airpods will likely not have noise cancellation while the midlevel offering will. 9to5Mac reports that the Airpods Pro will not see any changes until 2025.
Apple Watch
Each of Apple’s horological offerings is set to see upgrades on Monday.
Series 10
The company appears set to announce the Apple Watch Series 10. Notable changes include larger case size offerings at 45 mm and 49 mm and larger screens according to 9to5Mac.
SE
Gurman reported that the newest Apple Watch SE could swap its aluminum shell for one made of “rigid plastic” in his Power on newsletter. The company switched the entry level smartwatch’s caseback from ceramic to a nylon composite material in 2022.
Ultra 3
Rumors are scant for the Ultra 3 though 9to5Mac suggested that the watch could receive a new chip but no hardware updates.
iOS 18 update schedule
USA TODAY previously reported that the event will likely feature the release schedule for iOS 18.
The operating system was revealed at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June where Apple showed that the system would integrate Apple Intelligence.

Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Ingredient For Steak Is One We Wish We’d Known Before
Chefs often consider tenderloin or filet mignon to be overrated cuts of steak, but Gordon Ramsay disagrees. The filet, or filet mignon, is one of his "favorite cuts of all time" because it is "packed with flavor" (per YouTube). Due to its leanness, it's a cut that can easily overcook and become dry, which is why it's one of the worst cuts of steak to grill. But Ramsay uses an unexpected ingredient to keep it juicy: chicken stock.First, the chef sears both sides of his meat in a skillet -- laying the meat away from you rather than towards you is Ramsay's tip for not burning yourself when making steak. Then he adds garlic, rosemary, thyme, and a bay leaf before pouring in the stock. Adding the extra liquid means more moist meat since some of it is absorbed by the […]
District 5 candidates on how they will speed up housing
Here’s the latest in our “Meet the Candidates” series for District 5, in which we ask each candidate to answer one question per week leading up to the election. Four candidates are challenging incumbent Supervisor Dean Preston to represent District 5, which spans from the east end of Golden Gate Park through Haight-Ashbury, Japantown and the Western Addition, the Lower Haight and Hayes Valley, and most of the Tenderloin.San Francisco has a new mandate from the state of California to build 82,000 new homes by 2031, with more than half of those to be affordable to low- and moderate-income households. We’re not on track to meet this goal, and one of the big arguments in San Francisco’s housing debate — particularly as campaigning heats up in District 5 — has been over who is to blame for our slow housing […]
Hong Kong sees biggest uptick in cryptocurrency activity in East Asia, new report finds
Hong Kong has seen the biggest uptick in cryptocurrency activity in East Asia amid the city's efforts to become a virtual-asset hub, according to new research, while mainland Chinese use digital currencies to preserve wealth in spite of the government's draconian ban.The city rose to 30th place, up from the No 47 spot last year, in this year's Global Cryptocurrency Adoption Index rankings published on Wednesday by research firm Chainalysis.

SFUSD’s delay in announcing public school closures is a disgrace
Many years ago, the comedian George Wallace ridiculed the notion of the U.S. military developing a faster bomber. Was this, he asked, a problem? Have the many people the United States has bombed been waiting outside and asking “When’s that bomber going to get here?” In related news, the San Francisco Unified School District was, tomorrow, supposed to release its preliminary list of schools that will be closed and/or merged — the moment of truth in a nine-month ordeal. Mission Local has learned that, on Friday, the district realized it would have to delay this announcement. A planned Monday statement from superintendent Matt Wayne instead dropped over the weekend when the news of the delay got out and questions were being asked. And now public school parents are more irate, not less. When’s that bomber going to get here? No need to mince words: […]

Final messages revealed from the Titan sub before tragic implosion
“All good here.”Those were some of the final words that the doomed Titan submersible crew communicated before the submersible imploded on its mission to the Titanic wreckage site in June 2023.The message, revealed as part of the Coast Guard’s Monday hearing into the circumstances of the failed mission, was sent to support vessel Polar Prince on June 18, 2023, shortly before the submersible imploded, killing all five of its crew members. It was an incident that captivated both sides of the Atlantic as crews made a mad dash to save the crew after the sub lost contact with the surface - with the world unaware that the lives had been lost.The Coast Guard played an animated re-enactment of the Titan’s voyage that captured the submersible’s final, spotty exchange with the Polar Prince, during the Monday hearing that shed new light […]
More than half of women fleeing domestic abuse turned away from safe refuge due to chronic shortages
More than half of domestic abuse survivors face homelessness after being turned away from refuges due to a chronic national shortage of spaces.The latest figures show around six in 10 women fleeing domestic violence who sought a space in a refuge in England over a year were denied a place.Data from the Office for National Statistics shows 27,754 women were referred to a refuge between April 2022 and March 2023 but only 10,824 were accepted, with 16,930 women left with nowhere to go.
