iPhone 16 and new Apple Watch, AirPods tipped for September 10
In This Article
Apple is aiming to host its annualiPhonelaunch event on Tuesday September 10, according to a well-connected Apple watcher.
Bloomberg’s Mark GurmanreckonsApple has pencilled in the date for what has traditionally been the most important date in the calendar – at least in terms of hardware.

This TCL 50-inch set has features defying its modest price tag and now you can get it for just £268.20 with the code RED10 at Argos.
Apple is ‘making preparations’ for that date, according to the sources who spoke to Gurman on the condition of anonymity.
While the iPhone 16 is expected to main event the hardware showcase, anApple Watch Xand Apple Watch Ultra 3 are expected to be on the undercard. Recent reports from the same journalist suggestedAirPods 4earbuds will be introduced with two options – one with ANC and the other without.
There’s also been increasing chatter about a possible pair of upgradedAirPods Maxover-ear headphones rocking the same H2 chip as theAirPods Proearbuds.
While it’s good to be moving closer towards confirmation of the September 10 date, it would also represent that Apple is working within its regular timescales. If, at the beginning of 2024, you could have circled one date in the calendar for Apple to launch iPhone 16 hardware, September 10 would have been the red-hot favourite.
Apple loves to host the event on the second Tuesday in September, has traditionally opened pre-orders later that week, and then often releases the phones on the subsequent Friday about ten days later after the initial announcement.
That would place the iPhone 16 release date at around September 20. It’s far from certain that all phones will be released on that date, but 20/9 is where the smart money goes. It’s also possible Apple will stagger the releases of the variants, as has happened with iPhone models in the past.
