On September 9th, it’s finally here, Apple will announce the iPhone 16! Apple hid these hints in the invitation to the iPhone 16 event.

iPhone 16 event announced

Apple has sent out the official invite for the iPhone 16 event! On monday september 9th The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be revealed. And that’s not all, because the Apple Watch Series 10, Apple Watch SE 2024, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and AirPods 4 will also be released on September 9. Every year, Apple hides hints in the invitation and that is no different at the iPhone 16 event.

All iPhone 16 models will get a new and improved processor. For the first time in a long time, all new iPhones will get a completely new chip. This year is more important than in previous years, because the new A18 chip will support many new iOS 18 features. With that update comes Apple Intelligence, which we see the first hints of in the iPhone 16 event invite.

Apple Intelligence comes to iPhones

Currently, only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max support Apple Intelligence. Four iPhones will be added in September, as it is expected that all new devices will work with Apple Intelligence. We already see hints of this in the announcement of the iPhone 16 event, as Apple refers to the renewed version of Siri with the animation.

In the invitation, Apple refers to it as ‘Glowtime‘of course according to the pronunciation’It’s showtime‘. The colors seen in the announcement also refer to Apple Intelligence. So it seems that Apple will reveal even more about all the AI ​​functions at the iPhone 16 event. The most important features of the next iPhone probably do not revolve around the hardware, but with Apple Intelligence mainly around the software.

However, Apple gives the term ‘Glowtime‘ another hint in the announcement of the iPhone 16 event. Apple is likely to introduce a new type of OLED screen with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which lasts longer and is much brighter. This makes the display easier to read in different lighting conditions. The invitation to the event seems to confirm that we will see improved screens on this year’s iPhones.

Features only available from iOS 18.1

With Apple Intelligence, big changes are coming to your iPhone, as almost all Apple apps are being expanded with new functions. Unfortunately, users will have to wait a while for the launch of Apple Intelligence, as the AI ​​features will only be available with iOS 18.1. In Europe, we will probably have to wait even longer, as we will only be able to get started with Apple Intelligence in 2025.

Thanks to the hints in the iPhone 16 event invite, we know for sure that Apple Intelligence will be coming to all iPhones this year. Other changes expected for the iPhone 16 include a new camera button, larger screens on the Pro models, and the powerful A18 chip. Want to know more about the next iPhone now?
