10 Oct 2024

Apple’s September 2024 event has just wrapped up, and as always, it delivered an exciting lineup of new products and updates across the company's ecosystem. From the highly anticipated iPhone 16 lineup to significant advancements in AI-powered features, here’s a roundup of everything Apple unveiled.

iPhone 16 & iPhone 16 Plus: Smarter AI and Redesigned Cameras


The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus introduce upgraded cameras and an innovative Camera Control button designed for single-hand use. This button allows users to quickly launch the camera, with light presses for zooming and an AI-powered Visual Intelligence feature, which delivers real-time info on objects in your frame. This feature bears a resemblance to Google Lens and is expected to roll out later this year.

Both phones feature brighter displays, powered by the A18 chip, which supports high-end gaming and up to 30% faster performance. The revamped rear-camera system includes a 48-megapixel Fusion camera and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens. They also introduce spatial capture, designed for use with the Apple Vision Pro.

With a starting price of $800 for the iPhone 16 and $900 for the Plus model, preorders begin on September 13, with general availability on September 20.

iPhone 16 Pro & Pro Max: Elevating Content Creation


For those focused on professional content creation, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max deliver even more impressive camera capabilities, including a new 5x optical zoom on the Pro Max’s telephoto lens. Both models are built with larger screens and slimmer bezels, with the 16 Pro growing to 6.3 inches and the Pro Max to 6.9 inches.

Powered by the A18 Pro chip, these devices introduce advanced gaming features like raytracing, improved audio capture tools, and new AI-driven recording features. With prices starting at $1,000 for the Pro and $1,200 for the Pro Max, both will be available for preorder on September 13.

Apple Watch Series 10: Bigger Display, Thinner Body


The Apple Watch Series 10 debuts the largest and thinnest display Apple has ever built into a wearable. With sleep apnea detection and powered by the new S10 chip, the Series 10 refines health monitoring and brings more machine-learning tools to your wrist. Available in new colors like polished-aluminum black and titanium finishes, the Series 10 starts at $400 and will hit stores on September 20.

AirPods 4: New Design and Advanced Features


The highly anticipated AirPods 4 come in two versions: a $130 standard model and a $180 ANC-enabled version. Both models feature a redesigned, ergonomic fit, enhanced bass, and high-frequency clarity. With the new H2 chip, Apple has also introduced machine-learning-based noise reduction, as well as USB-C charging.

The premium version offers Active Noise Cancellation and Adaptive Audio, allowing the AirPods to dynamically adjust to environmental sounds. Preorders are available now, with general availability on September 20.

AirPods Max & AirPods Pro 2: Updates and New Health Features


Apple also updated the AirPods Max with USB-C charging and a fresh range of colors, while the AirPods Pro 2 will soon get a software update that introduces hearing-health features, including a clinically validated hearing test and OTC hearing aid functionality.

With these updates, Apple continues to refine its product ecosystem while adding useful AI and health-monitoring tools for everyday users. From new iPhones tailored for content creators to smarter wearables, this fall’s announcements position Apple as a leader in both technology and health innovation.

Preorders for all devices start September 13, with general availability set for September 20.
