iPhone 16 release date revealed? Here's when Apple's next-gen device will drop, according to new report

The iPhone 16 is so close, you can almost taste it. According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple insiders have revealed the iPhone 16 release date which, by extension, also gives us insight into when the next-gen Apple Watch models will drop, too.

Mark Gurman, an Apple analyst and reliable leaker, claims that Apple is planning to have its product launch event on Sept. 10.

The Cupertino-based tech giant will not only reveal the latest iPhones and smartwatches but also introduce a new pair of AirPods, according to Gurman.

iPhone 16 release date reportedly revealed

Apple's big product launch event is typically the second Tuesday of September, and according to Bloomberg, this year is no different. Here are the products we're expecting to hear about on Sept. 10:

• iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max

• Apple Watch Series 10

• Apple Watch SE

• Apple Watch Ultra 3

Based on this date, we're expecting the hardware to hit store shelves on Sept. 20.

As mentioned at the outset, in addition to the iPhones and smartwatches, Apple is reportedly planning on unveiling the new AirPods 4, which is expected to come in two models for the first time ever. The entry-level variant will likely be quite similar to the current-gen AirPods. However, the higher end model will reportedly feature Active Noise Cancellation.
