Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event showcased a variety of new products, with significant updates to the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods lines. Here’s a detailed look at the highlights from the event.
The iPhone 16 introduces two new buttons: an Action Button, similar to the iPhone 15 Pro, and a DSLR-like Camera Control button. This new feature allows users to take pictures and videos, as well as adjust settings with ease. The rear cameras are stacked for advanced spatial video recording, designed for compatibility with the Apple Vision Pro.
The iPhone 16 is powered by the new A18 processor, designed to handle the latest AI features. The 6.1-inch iPhone 16 starts at $799, while the 6.7-inch Plus version is priced at $899. Available in white, black, green, pink, and blue, both models will start shipping on September 20th.
The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max come with larger displays, with the Pro model featuring a 6.3-inch screen and the Pro Max offering a 6.9-inch display. Both models are equipped with the new capture button and the upgraded A18 Pro chip. The Pro Max boasts the “best iPhone battery life ever,” according to Apple.
Both Pro models now include a 5x telephoto camera with a “tetraprism” design and an enhanced 48-megapixel ultrawide sensor, along with the new 48MP “Fusion camera.” The Pro is priced at $999, while the Pro Max starts at $1,199. Preorders begin Friday, with in-store availability starting September 20th.
