Apple's "It's Glowtime" event is all set for its schedule a few days from now. In late August, we reported that iPad Mini 7 might come soon as an upcoming iPhone 16 event will take place in September. This is the event that we are referring to at the time.
The most awaited iPhone 16 is expected to deliver advanced features that we might have never seen from other models. It could be the most powerful iPhone version to date.
For this tech showcase, what should we expect from the iPhone maker?
Apple 'Glowtime' Event and Apple Intelligence
The iPhone 16 is expected to be the first iPhone to feature Apple Intelligence across the board. This cutting-edge AI technology will enhance the user experience, from improved Siri interactions to advanced image processing capabilities.
Before anything else, Apple's upcoming "Glowtime" event came from the "glow" effect, which can be seen on the screen's edges when Siri is activated. It's accessible on iOS 18 developer beta.
As per Mark Gurman, a tech journalist from Bloomberg, the "glow" can be macOS Sequoia's internal name.

More AI Features on the Horizon
In addition to Apple Intelligence, Apple is rumored to introduce new AI features at the event. These may include the ability for the iPhone to understand onscreen content, expanded capabilities for Siri, image generation, AI rewriting, and call recording and transcription.
When and How to Watch the iPhone 16 Event?
The iPhone 16 "Glowtime" event will kick off on Monday, Sept. 9 at 1 PM ET. You have several options to watch it. You can visit the official Apple website. You can also watch on YouTube and Apple TV.
Powerful Processors for AI-Driven Experiences
Since the iPhone 16 is touted to be AI-powered, it needs to have a powerful processor under the A18 chip. This will ensure that the smartphone can easily multitask, handling even the graphics-heavy games or apps.
A Fresh Look for the iPhone 16
The iPhone 16 is expected to feature a slightly different design than its predecessors.
Based on USA Today's report, there are leaked images that tease that there will be a vertical arrangement in the camera module. If you can recall, it's similar to what we've seen on iPhone 12.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 handsets will receive a big battery boost. Currently, it's not specified what kind of improvement it will get. "Tetraprism" telephoto lenses are anticipated to be available for the Pro models.
Previously, the iPhone 16 was rumored to be accessible in a bronze titanium colorway. Even then, some fans wanted to see it in a rose finish.
Apple Watch and AirPods Updates
Beyond the iPhone 16, we expect a fresh take on the AirPods and Apple Watch. Of course, some people already speculate Watch Series 10 to sport a thinner, but larger screen. This could be a big surprise for wearable lovers, just in case.
On the other hand, the new AirPods might feature USB-C charging on top of the noise cancellation feature and speakers in the charging case.
Can We See New Mac Mini Soon?
The fun does not stop with Apple Watch and AirPods. Even a Mac Mini might be present for tablet fans who long to see a device with an M Pro chip. Who knows, this could be an advanced Christmas present for you.
