iPhone 16 release event: Live updates as CEO Tim Cook is also set to announce the Apple Watch 10

iPhone 16 is Apple’s first phone lineup designed to support AI features.

At today’s event, the company is expected to unveil the standard 16 as well as the iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Each of these phones will be compatable with Apple Intelligence, Apple’s very own AI platform.

The iPhone 16 lineup won’t launch with Apple Intelligence right off the bat. While the new phones will become available for purchase today, the AI platform isn’t expected to roll out until the end of October, according to 9to5Mac.

iOS 18 is expected to launch with a bunch of exciting new accessibilty features, including the ability to control your phone with just your eyes.

iPhone Eye Tracking will work on any iPhone that’s compatible with iOS 18. To enable this feature, go to Settings, tap Accessibility, swipe down and choose Eye Tracking and toggle it on.

Your phone will walk you through a brief calibration process so that it can learn to recognize your eye movements. Then, you will be able to navigate your screen, open apps and perform tasks inside apps all without ever touching your screen,

Apple is hosting its ‘It’s Glowtime’ event today, where it is expected to debut the new iPhone 16 and reveal more details about the upcoming launch of iOS 18 and highly-anticipated AI platform, Apple Intelligence.

In addition to the iPhone 16, products expected to launch include the Apple Watch X and perhaps the Apple Watch Ultra 3, and the AirPods 4, AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Max 2.

The event will be held at Apple Headquarters in Cupertino on Monday, September 9 at 1 pm ET (10 am PT, 6 pm UK).
