What to Expect
The star of the show is expected to be the iPhone 16 lineup, including the standard iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Rumors suggest several key upgrades:
- An Action button for all models, previously exclusive to Pro versions

Beyond smartphones, Apple is likely to unveil:
- Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 3
- AirPods 4 (potentially with two variants, one featuring active noise cancellation)
- iOS 18 and other software updates
How to Watch
The event kicks off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST on September 9 (3am AEST on September 10). Viewers can tune in via:
- YouTube (embedded stream available)
- Apple's website
- The Apple TV app
Pre-Order Speculation
While unconfirmed, there's speculation that iPhone 16 pre-orders might begin earlier than usual, possibly on Thursday, September 12, instead of the traditional Friday. This shift could be related to the event's Monday timing, but Apple has not officially commented on pre-order dates.
The 'Glowtime' Mystery
The event's intriguing It's Glowtime tagline has sparked theories ranging from a Siri redesign to improved display brightness or camera performance in low-light conditions. Apple fans will have to wait until September 9 for the full reveal.
As always, TechRadar will provide comprehensive coverage of the event, including a live blog and in-depth analysis of all announcements. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting showcase of Apple's latest innovations.
