Apple has officially confirmed its iPhone 16 event for Monday, September 9. The ‘It’s Glowtime’ event also came with a revealing press invite and animation. While some invites carry minimal secret meaning, this latest release is giving strong Apple Intelligence vibes. Here’s why.
Apple’s iPhone 16 lineup is expected to include four different models:
- iPhone 16
- iPhone 16 Plus
- iPhone 16 Pro
- iPhone 16 Pro Max
Although this kind of lineup has become the norm in recent years, one big change coming with the iPhone 16 involves its chip.
With recent iPhone launches, Apple has included a brand new chip in its Pro-level phones, but not the two cheaper models.
Instead, the base model and Plus have received the prior year’s Pro-level chip. Essentially, Apple gives the year-old Pro chip to its more affordable siblings.
This year that’s changing though, with the entire iPhone 16 lineup expected to receive A18-class chips.
Why the change?
