iPhone 16 launch: How to watch the livestream?

Apple is set to announce its new series of hardware in the global market. For tech enthusiasts in India, the launch event will take place at 10.30 pm. The launch will be live streamed on Apple’s official YouTube channel and the company’s India website. Apple will announce four new iPhones at the event, including the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple event: What to expect?

iPhone 16 Series: Apple continues its tradition of offering four models in the iPhone 16 lineup: the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max. Each device is powered by the new A18 Pro chipset, which delivers high-performance capabilities across the board, but each model brings its own unique features.

The base model of the series is expected to feature a change in design language. It is expected to be similar to the back panel of the iPhone X, with a vertical camera set on a capsule-shaped module. The camera system is the same as the iPhone 15, with a 48-megapixel primary sensor with 2x optical zoom, making it a solid choice for everyday users.

The iPhone 16 Plus is expected to be aimed at those who want a more immersive experience, as it has a larger screen for activities like streaming and gaming. While it shares many key features with the standard model, such as an advanced camera system, its main highlight is its wide display.

iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have the most advanced features, including camera upgrades. The ultra-wide lens has increased from 12-megapixels to 48-megapixels, providing better photo quality. Apart from this, battery life is also expected to improve significantly, allowing users to use it for longer.

Apple Watch Series 10: The upcoming wearable is rumoured to feature a slim design with thin bezels. Reports suggest that the current 41mm model could grow to 45mm, while the 45mm version could grow to 49mm, giving users more screen space and a more immersive experience.

Its health features are also expected to be significantly improved. It is expected to include blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnea detection due to advanced sleep and breathing analysis.

AirPods 4: Apple is expected to integrate the second and third generation models in the upcoming AirPods 4, which will offer two variants: a budget-friendly option replacing the AirPods 2 and a mid-range model replacing the AirPods 3. According to rumors, the main difference between the two will be the presence of active noise cancellation in the higher-end model, while both will share a similar design.

Both AirPods 4 models are expected to use USB-C. As per Apple’s previous differentiation strategy, the entry-level version will only feature wired charging and the mid-tier model will feature wireless charging.

Apple Intelligence

During WWDC 2024, Apple revealed Apple Intelligence to the world. At the time, the company announced that Apple Intelligence support would be “available for free” on the new iPhone 16 series and the existing iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and M1 and later iPads and Macs. But reports have suggested that Apple plans to switch it to a subscription mode sometime later. That being said, it’s also worth mentioning that Apple Intelligence is unlikely to arrive with the iPhone 16 series today. The company is rumored to still be working on it and will release the features in another update, iOS 18.1.

Apple Intelligence is expected to bring many advanced features. Above all, an improved Siri is waiting for users on the other end. Apple says this will be the beginning of “a new era for Siri”. Apple has said that the AI ​​enhancements will make Siri more natural, relevant and personal.
