Jason Hiner/ZDNETApple will soon release the iPhone 16 series — with all the AI glamour in tow. Just recently, the company confirmed that its next hardware event will happen on September 9 at 10 a.m. PT. This year’s title is “It’s Glowtime,” playing to the vibrant and colorful animations that appear when you use the latest AI features on iOS 18, like Siri. Alongside the new iPhones, Apple is expected to announce a new Apple Watch, two AirPods, and possibly more.Also: This rumored iPhone 16 feature will either be pure genius or an ergonomic nightmareAlthough the iPhone will capture most of the spotlight, and WWDC was only months ago, Apple may also share more about its latest software, including iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, WatchOS 11, VisionOS 2, and MacOS Sequoia.How can I watch the Apple event?The iPhone 16 event takes place at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, with in-person attendance reserved for staff, partners, and members of the media.

Jason Hiner/ZDNETAlthough Apple’s next big event is just around the corner, that hasn’t stopped people from releasing leaks, rumors, and gossip about the tech giant’s upcoming devices. Notable insider Mark Gurman claims in a recent Bloomberg report the Apple Watch Series 10 will introduce a new major feature: sleep apnea detection.Also: The best Apple Watches you can buy: Expert testedDetails are sparse at the moment. According to Gurman, the feature will “attempt to determine if a wearer has sleep apnea” or not. If it does, the wearable will recommend visiting a medical professional for further testing. The keyword in that sentence is “attempt”. There isn’t a guarantee that the Apple Watch 10 will be able to accurately detect whether or not you have the condition.Gurman mentioned back in July that Apple was having a tough time getting the feature to work. It needs to be able to read a user’s blood oxygen saturation. However, it can’t make those measurements because of the company’s legal troubles with health tech company Masimo. A federal judge told Apple it couldn’t sell smartwatches with blood oxygen sensors, and the company was forced to disable them via a software patch. More

Jason Hiner/ZDNETWe’re still days away from Apple’s September event, but I’m already thinking about the good, the bad, and the ugly of what will possibly be the iPhone 16’s flagship feature. As previously reported, the upcoming iPhone series is expected to feature a dedicated camera button. Housed on the bottom right side of the phones, the hardware key will act as a shutter button when pressed, both for photos and videos.Also: What to expect from Apple’s iPhone 16 ‘It’s Glowtime’ event, and how to watch the livestreamPitching the feature to the masses will be rather straightforward; most people are already familiar with taking photos on a camera in some way, shape, or form. To a degree, Apple is taking a step backward here, going from software to hardware. But, as is often the case with Apple products, the beauty is in the details.According to Bloomberg, the new camera button will be touch-capacitive, meaning it’ll behave differently depending on how you tap and swipe it. A short press on the key will prompt the iPhone to autofocus on what it thinks is the main subject, and a harder press will capture it. Similarly, swiping on the button’s surface will switch between photo and video modes or zoom in and out. These are the features that will be met with oohs and ahhs during the keynote. More
