Apple Just Revealed iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10, and Major AirPods Upgrades — Here’s Everything You Need to Know!

Everything Apple Announced at the iPhone 16 Event

Apple’s annual September event delivered a suite of impressive updates for 2024, centered around the new iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10, and AirPods 4. Let’s break down everything unveiled:

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus

Apple introduced the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus with a sleek new design, improved durability, and exciting color options like ultramarine and pink. The 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, respectively, reach an astounding 2,000 nits of brightness and reduce to just 1 nit in the dark, ensuring optimal clarity in any lighting. A new customizable Action button, alongside a camera control slider, takes user interaction to a whole new level.

Under the hood, the A18 chip powers the devices, featuring a 16-core neural engine designed to handle the demands of Apple’s AI-focused Visual Intelligence. This new tool allows users to point their camera at objects or events to gain instant insights or schedule events, much like Google Lens. The camera system, with a 48MP main Fusion lens and a 12MP telephoto, now supports Spatial Photos viewable in Apple Vision Pro.

Both phones also boast larger batteries than their predecessors, coupled with the power efficiency of iOS 18, meaning longer battery life. Pre-orders are open at $799 for the iPhone 16 and $899 for the iPhone 16 Plus, with availability from September 20.

iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max

The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have been engineered with Grade 5 Titanium for extra durability, offered in sleek colors like black, white, and desert. They feature ProMotion, always-on displays (6.3 and 6.9 inches), and advanced 48MP cameras for stunning photography and video capabilities, including 4K 120fps recording.

Powered by the A18 Pro chipset, both models are built to fully utilize the new Apple Intelligence suite, elevating performance with 3nm transistors and faster generative AI processes. These handsets are available for pre-order starting at $999 (Pro) and $1,199 (Pro Max), shipping from September 20.

AirPods 4

AirPods 4 come with a revamped design for a better fit and improved sound quality, thanks to the H2 chip. Personalized Spatial Audio and a smaller, USB-C-enabled charging case elevate the experience. For those seeking even more, the Pro version includes active noise cancellation and transparency mode, priced at $129 and $179, respectively.

Apple Watch Series 10

The Apple Watch Series 10 introduces the largest display and sleekest design in Apple Watch history. New health-tracking features, including sleep apnea detection and scuba tracking, are built into watchOS 11. The device is available in stunning new finishes like jet-black aluminum and polished titanium, with pre-orders available today starting at $499.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 and AirPods Max Updates

While no major redesigns for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 were announced, Apple revealed a striking satin black finish, alongside new Hermes finishes. The AirPods Max also got a makeover with fresh colors, including midnight and purple, with USB-C charging support.
