This year's event will see Apple unveil the iPhone 16 lineup, new Apple Watch models, and the AirPods 4, plus we'll get official launch dates for iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and Apple's other software updates.

All four of the new iPhones are expected to have the customizable Action Button and a new Capture Button for taking photos that will have built-in gestures, such as a swipe for zooming in and out or a soft press for autofocus. The Capture Button will be on the right side of the devices below the power button.

Apple is also adding an A18 chip to all models, so the entire iPhone 16 lineup will be capable of supporting the Apple Intelligence features that are coming in iOS 18. No other major new features are expected for the standard iPhone 16 models, but the Pro lineup will get an increase in display size, going from 6.1 and 6.7 inches to 6.3 and 6.9 inches, respectively, for the Pro and Pro Max. Both models will also include the 5x Telephoto zoom option that was exclusive to the Pro Max last year.

For the Apple Watch, the standard Series 10 is expected to feature a thinner design with a larger display, but the change won't be radical. Apple also plans to refresh the Apple Watch SE and the Apple Watch Ultra, and we could see new health features such as sleep apnea detection and blood pressure monitoring, but it is not yet entirely clear if Apple will have them ready in time for this year's launch.

There are two models of the AirPods 4 coming, one that's a direct successor to the current AirPods 3 and one that's a step up with support for Active Noise Cancellation at a non-Pro price.

Apple plans to stream the fall event live on its website, on YouTube, and through the Apple TV app. For those unable to watch, MacRumors will be providing full event coverage on MacRumors.com and the MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

It's go time!

My theory:

September 9, 2024 = 9/9/2024

Add all numbers: 9+9+2+0+2+4=26

On that day at 10am, the moon is at 35% illumination

35% of 26 is 9.1

On that day at 10am, the moon is 247,456 miles away from the Earth

247,456+9.1=247,465.1

Now let's decipher each digit to the left of the decimal point in 247,465.1

Tim Cook's favorite number is 7
2+7=9
The ninth letter in the alphabet is i

Eddy Cue's favorite number is 12
4+12=16
Sixteenth letter is p

Craig Federighi's favorite number is 1
7+1=8
Eighth letter is h

John Ternus's favorite number is 11
4+11=15
Fifteenth letter is o

Jeff Williams's favorite number is 8
6+8=14
Fourteenth letter is n

Phil Schiller refused to say, therefore
5 remains 5
Fifth letter is e

Put all letters together, we get iPhone

On that day by 10am, the moon will have entered the sixteenth lunar mansion

iPhone 16 is confirmed!

 

[abatabia]

Glow as in AI. Cute. Def an upgrade year for me.

 

[dannyyankou]

iPhone glowing Apple logo?!?

 

[Andres Cantu]

Cue the speculation about the glowing Apple logo making a comeback in laptops.

 

[hovscorpion12]

I knew it was the 9th. I don’t know why people were convinced it was the 10th

 

[nat1nat1]

"The Capture Button will be on the right side of the devices below the volume buttons." volume buttons are on the left, non?

 

[goodthymes]

Gurman said the 10th, are we holding the invites wrong?

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

Not sure on upgrading my 15PM but bring on new AirPods

 

[MLVC]

I knew it was the 9th. I don’t know why people were convinced it was the 10th

Because it usually is on a Tuesday I guess. And that would have been the 10th.

Volume buttons on the right side?

 

[spaxxedout]

I knew it was the 9th. I don’t know why people were convinced it was the 10th

They've been doing Tuesday events for what seems like forever.

A departure for sure. I always assumed Tuesdays were used to give media a non-weekend travel day. At any rate, better for us!

 

[carestudio]

It's Glowtime of the year ​

 

[unQuestionable]

Wait, why is the location in a different size font? This is weird.

 

[spaxxedout]

Given the event is 9/09, I'm expecting a 4-hour Jeff Mills techno performance immediately following the keynote.

 

[Tomboman]

So finally a non pre-recorded keynote again? That would be nice

 

[madmin]

I don't like Mondays

 

[coffeemilktea]

September 9? I can't believe I'm looking forward to a Monday morning for once.

 

[RJ_Online93]

Looks good!

 

[xDKP]

Not sure on upgrading my 15PM but bring on new AirPods

Year over year upgrading is pretty silly at this point, unless you have a ton of money you don’t know what to do with 😁

 

[dustin_]

is the location always in smaller font like that? looks like crap

 

[nfl46]

Every inch counts: 6.69 to 6.9. Even a small difference can make a significant impact.

Guess Gurman should have waited one more day. Well in conciliation it was close. (9/10)
That means the current beta cycle of 18.0/15.0 should have its RC after the show, and likely released 16th.

 

[AppleFan91]

It does look weird, but oddly enough, MKBHD’s invite looked normal. Gurman’s looked weird.

 

[lexlevi]

My guess is it’s on the 9th because the ABC Presidential Debate is on the 10th. Don’t want to compete with that news cycle.
