Four iPhone 16 series models—the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max—are expected to be released by Apple.

The A18 Bionic chipset is anticipated to power the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, while the A18 Pro processor is said to power the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
iOS 18 will be the operating system for all iPhone 16 series models.
During the event, Apple is probably going to unveil the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Watch Series 10. There have been rumors that a less expensive third-generation Apple Watch SE will be released.
It is also anticipated that an upgraded model of Apple AirPods—possibly dubbed the Apple AirPods 4—will be unveiled at the occasion.
iPhone 16 in India: Expected availability details
It is expected that preorders for the iPhone 16 series will open immediately following the event. Reports state that the Pro models may see a small price increase, while the base models are anticipated to remain priced at the same level as the previous generation.
iPhone 16 specifications (expected)
Greater display: Compared to the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens of the previous models, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to have larger screens, measuring 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively.
Slimmer bezels: It’s rumored that Apple will include Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology in the iPhone 16 Pro models, which could lead to bezels that are thinner than those of the Pro models from the previous year.
Processor: The A18 Pro chip is anticipated to be included in the iPhone 16 Pro models, whereas the A18 chipset, which has a marginally slower clock speed, is likely to be used in the regular iPhone 16 models.
New colours: The iPhone 16 series is anticipated to launch with new colour options, including blue, green, pink, white, and black. Additionally, there may be a new Desert Titanium shade for the Pro models, along with possible Gold variants.
Camera: The iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to come with an upgraded 48MP ultra-wide camera, while retaining the tetraprism telephoto lens from the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Battery: The iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumoured to be powered by a 4,676mAh battery.
Storage: Similar to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will likely eliminate the 128GB variant, starting instead with 256GB as the base storage option.
