Apple is gearing up to unveil a new product alongside the highly anticipated iPhone 16, according to an insider. The tech company has set its next major announcement for 9 September.
During this event, Apple is expected to introduce its latest smartphone at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. The iPhone 16 will be launched along with its usual variants. These typically include the standard version, a ‘pro’ version with additional features, and a larger ‘pro max’ version.
Previously, Apple released a ‘mini’ version of its iPhones, but this was discontinued after the iPhone 13. Details about the iPhone 16 remain scarce. However, it is expected to build on the features of current models, including Apple’s initial steps into AI integration on its phones.

The announcement will also highlight a significant milestone for another popular Apple product—the Apple Watch. First launched in 2014, the Apple Watch has seen numerous updates. At its launch, Apple CEO Tim Cook described it as ‘the most personal device’ they’ve created, aiming to make ‘the best watch in the world.’
Today, the Apple Watch can monitor various metrics, including heart rate, sleep, and menstrual cycle. An insider has hinted that Apple plans to unveil the tenth model of the Apple Watch in September, marking its tenth anniversary.
Mark Gurman, a well-known tipster, predicts new releases from Apple. In his newsletter, he mentioned, “Apple Watch is nearing its 10th birthday and the company has a chance to mark the occasion.”
Gurman noted that Apple designers are working on a thinner watch case and exploring changes to how bands attach to the device. He also suggested that Apple might be looking into ‘other enhancements under the hood’ for new features.
He hinted that these updates ‘could lay the groundwork for some AI enhancements down the road,’ although these improvements are currently ‘headed to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.’
For more details on the latest releases, stay tuned until September!
