Is there an iPhone 16?
The most anticipated reveal of the Apple Glowtime Event was the iconic iPhone release, this year being the iPhone 16. We have already released a blog highlighting the iPhone 16’s latest features and upgrades so make sure to head over to that blog for further information. An iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max have been released for price ranges between $799 - $1199.
Should I upgrade my Apple Watch 10?
You are described by Apple as their thinnest Apple Watch yet with the biggest display. The watch offers multiple health insights, the most popular being a new sleep apnoea notification. This new sleep feature means the watch will analyse your breathing disturbance data and notify users if there is a constant sign of sleep apnea, a problem which stops you from breathing during your sleep.
Not only is the watch great for sleep but it’s also perfect for fitness, with new depth and water temperatures, fast charging perfect for all-day use and custom fitness tracking to improve your lifestyle.

Are Airpod 4 coming out?
It has been 3 years since the previous Airpods were released, so it’s no surprise that a new model was on its way. Available for £129 these models evolve sound and comfort with voice isolation, a new hands-free way to interact with Siri. With immersive sound, get ready for a cinematic experience in your ears with a 3-dimensional listening experience for music, TV, games and more!
The model's H2 chip makes audio and calls so much crisper and clearer, with active noise cancellation, reduces low-frequency environmental noise like vehicle sounds and general everyday noise to make your listening experience better.
- Battery life: 5 hours of listening time
- Charge: Wireless charging case available
- Colours: White
- Features: Voice isolation, hey Siri, Siri interactions.
Does Airpod Max come in different colours?
It has been 4 years since the Airpod Max Pros were released, and although we don’t have a brand new model releasing, there are plenty of new and exciting colours coming soon. Currently available to pre-order, Apple fans can get their hands on 5 brand-new colours. Blue, purple, midnight, starlight and orange along with the classic colours, white and coral. We cannot wait to take a closer look at these new colour options!
In our opinion, we are glad the Airpods are getting a refresh, however, it would be nice to get completely new models for these products. The Airpod Pro Max headsets tend to do well for Apple, so not creating an updated version seems like a big mistake from them.
Artificial Intelligence and Apple AI were also a key point of this event, however, we have already given our opinions on the Apple AI update in our recent blog focussed on the iOS 18 updates, so please make sure to give that a read if you want further details.
