Apple set to launch brand new product alongside iPhone 16 with huge changes expected

It will mark a whole decade since we first got a peak at one of the devices

It’s coming up to that time of year when the ‘maybe I do need a new iPhone’ voice starts yapping in the back of your mind, despite there being literally nothing wrong with your current one.

Yep, Apple will soon be launching its latest smartphone model, the iPhone 16.

As the summer and its months of our phones overheating comes to an end, the tech beast is set to hold its annual event at Apple Park in California.

But while we’re all sat patiently waiting to hear the new features and for our current devices to drop in value (cheaper phone bill come through), it’s not just the new iPhone that will be discussed.

Nicknamed ‘It’s Glowtime’, the event will also see the launch of a band new product with some huge changes expected.

This year will mark a whole decade since we got a peak of the first Apple Watch and it’s reported it will be celebrated with the release of an ‘Apple Watch X’.

It’s a little like how the iPhone X was released back in 2017 for 10 years of the iPhone.

I don’t know about you, but this is all making me feel a little on the old side…

Anyway, this special watch claim comes from the popular leaker Mark Gunman.

The California-based Apple chatter detailed in his weekly newsletter how the company is ‘preparing for a big update’.

“Apple Watch is nearing its 10th birthday and the company has a chance to mark the occasion,” he wrote. “With the X model, Apple designers are working on a thinner watch case and have explored changing the way bands are attached to the device.”

The tipster went on to detail how the new rumoured watch is set to have some dramatic changes including a larger display.

In terms of the real techy stuff, this ‘Apple Watch X’ may feature some ‘enhancements under the hood’ like new AI-capable chips.

If that does prove to be true, they ‘could lay the groundwork for some AI enhancements down the road’.

Although, don’t start getting your hopes up for the upcoming Apple Intelligence to be running on the watch as it’s apparently ‘only headed to the iPhone, iPad and Mac’ for the time being before the Vision Pro.

The special Apple event will take place on 9 September with it not yet set as to just when the new iPhones (and maybe other devices by the sound of it) will go on sale. Although, experts do seem to be predicting pre-orders could be on 13 September.
