How to watch the Apple iPhone 16 launch event live

Apple's annual iPhone launch event is taking place earlier than usual this year, today in fact, Monday 9 September, and you can watch it live right here on T3.

Coming with the strapline "It's Glowtime", it is expected to debut the new iPhone 16 lineup, plus a few more devices besides. You can watch it via the video below.

Watch On

As well as the iPhones, we've heard plenty on new Apple Watch models, including an Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the 10th-gen Watch, thought to be called Apple Watch X. New AirPods are expected to make an appearance too.

However, what "Glowtime" means is unclear at present. It could refer to the new, Apple Intelligence-powered version of Siri, which we're also likely to hear more about. Or maybe it's a reference to a brighter display on the Watch X?

Whatever the reason, you can find out for yourself later today – here are all the details.

What to expect

Apple traditionally unveils its new iPhone range each September and this year will be no different. However, the timing is actually earlier than usual, with the event more often slated for later in the month.

We'll almost certainly see the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max announced, along with several other devices. Smart money is on an Apple Watch Series 10 (Apple Watch X), maybe even an Apple Watch Ultra 3, too.

And there have been plenty of rumours about new Apple AirPods and an upgrade for the AirPods Max headphones, at last.

There will also be a whole load of talk about Apple Intelligence, but it's doubtful that it'll be available when the new iPhones hit stores.

We also don't expect anything on iPad, which is more likely to be featured in a follow-up event in October (along with new M4 Macs).
