The iPhone 16 launch is coming soon. When? We don’t know for sure. However, a post on X by Majin Bu claims that according to their sources, the iPhone 16 will be officially announced on the 10th of September. The post is accompanied by an image which shows the Apple logo in a brown/bronze finish with the tagline, “Ready. Set. Capture.”
This claim is in line with a previous report that also suggested the 10th of September as a potential launch date. As for the accompanying image, the brown logo is a hint at a potential new iPhone 16 Pro Max finish. As for the tagline, the rumors are claiming that the new iPhone 16 models could come with a dedicated camera shutter button.
This is in addition to the Action Button that debuted with the iPhone 15 last year. It’s actually interesting that Apple is moving towards more physical buttons. There were rumors a while back that suggested that Apple could ditch physical buttons entirely. These new rumors paint a very different approach.
The new iPhone 16 models are expected to be powered by the A18 Pro chipset. It is unclear if the lower-end iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models will use the A17 instead of A18, so we’ll have to wait and see. Also, there have been rumors that Apple Intelligence won’t launch with the new iPhone models. Instead, Apple will release their new AI features at a later date as part of an iOS 18 update.
