Following a summer filled with new phones from Samsung and Google, it’s almost time for Apple fans to get their time in the spotlight. According to a new report, Apple’s next iPhone event will be held on September 10.

Rumors of the September 10 date aren’t new, though the latest report comes from a pretty trustworthy source: Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. According to “people familiar with the situation,” September 10 is the day we’ll see the iPhone 16, the Apple Watch Series 10, and more.

Apple usually holds its annual iPhone event in early September, typically on a Tuesday. Given that, the most likely days for this year’s event were always either September 3 or September 10. Still, it’s nice to have confirmation from one of the most prolific Apple leakers that September 10 is the day we can look forward to. Gurman claims that sales for the new gadgets will begin on September 20.

As mentioned above, the show’s two stars are expected to be the iPhone 16 and the Apple Watch Series 10. There have been a lot of leaks about the new iPhone. Word on the street is that there will be a new Capture Button on all four models (iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max), larger displays, upgraded camera sensors, and pretty similar designs to the existing iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro families.

We’ve heard much less about the Apple Watch Series 10. Larger displays and thinner bodies are anticipated. Unfortunately, we aren’t expecting any major new health features. We should also get an Apple Watch Ultra 3, though even less has leaked about it. Gurman also indicates that Apple will announce a new version of the baseline AirPods.

If you’re hoping for new Macs or iPads, it doesn’t sound like those are coming at the September 10 event. However, that’s perfectly fine. Four new iPhones, two new Apple Watches, and a new pair of earbuds is plenty. Plus, Apple has been known for holding another event in October for Mac and iPad updates, so there’s always that to look forward to.

The iPhone 17 Pro may not have a redesigned camera after all
A close-up of the cameras on the iPhone 16 Pro.

If you've followed any of the previous iPhone 17 leaks, then you likely read that the camera is supposedly getting a redesign that makes it look more like a Pixel than an iPhone. The phone is still almost a year away, so many rumors are just hearsay with no confirmation at this point. Now, a new leak suggests that while the iPhone 17 Pro will see a change, the camera module will remain triangular.

According to tipster Setsuna Digital on Weibo, the camera won't undergo as drastic a redesign as previously believed. "My sources told me that the back has indeed changed, but the triple-camera layout is still a triangle, not the horizontal strip that is currently circulating online." The majority of leaks so far have been from different companies within the supply chain that manufacture different parts for the iPhone 17 Pro.

Visual Intelligence has made the Camera Control on my iPhone 16 worth using

One of the big selling points of the iPhone 16 hardware is the Camera Control button. It’s a small physical button on the bottom right of the frame that also has some capacitive capabilities. With the initial launch of iOS 18, a single press launches your camera app of choice, and you can do half presses and sliding gestures to adjust camera settings. It’s a neat idea, but it has some flaws that prevent it from being a great shutter button.

But now we have iOS 18.2, and that brought a lot of new Apple Intelligence features to our phones, especially if you have an iPhone 16. With iOS 18.2, Apple finally added Visual Intelligence, a feature similar to Google Lens, but on iPhone.

With the iPhone 16 line, Apple made some big changes with the base models, while the iPhone 16 Pro versions looked identical to those from the past several years. But Apple appears to be making some very significant changes to the design of the iPhone 17 Pro Max — especially if these mock-up renders from a Russian YouTube channel, Wylsacom, are accurate.

The YouTube video shows that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will look nothing like its predecessors, according to the rumors that this mock-up is based on.
