Get ready for some fresh hardware. Follow along live as Apple debuts the iPhone 16 lineup, new Apple Watches, and a few other surprises.
Good morning everyone! Welcome to our live coverage of today’s Apple media showcase. We have three reporters on the scene at Apple Park in Cupertino, California to bring you live coverage. Apple’s presentation begins at 10 am Pacific, 1 pm Eastern, and 6 pm in the UK. We have a complete rundown on how to watch the show and what to expect.

If you want to learn more about the new iPhone 16 range, Julian has all the details here.
That was fun, y’all. Thanks to everyone who followed along, have to go type type type now.
I am actually sad there were no Apple Vision Pro updates!
I might cry again.
That’s a wrap! Going to the hands-on area!! Ciao.
Huh, no announcements about the Mac Mini. The rumors were … inaccurate? I am clutching my PEARLS.
Your $999 iPhone 16 Pro still only comes with 128 gigabytes of storage.
New MagSafe cases, including a cool clear one—and yes, there’s a little hole for the Camera Control button on the new cases.
The packaging for the phones is now 100 percent fiber based, and it’s also slimmer. Not that this matters, since I will still be keeping all the boxes in my closet for minimum 10 years anyway.
Apple must be saving its best-selling product for last: Apple Vision Pro.
A looong part of today’s show has been dedicated to demos of the photo, video, and audio capabilities on the Pro model. Apple is working hard to disrupt the traditional tools pros are using.
I am starting to get jealous of everyone who is watching at home and can grab some peanuts or a hard boiled egg during this presentation.
We just passed the 90-minute mark. This is one of the longer Apple launch presentations in recent memory.
You can now layer recordings in Voice Memos as well for songwriters! It is I, your next Amy Allen. Sabrina Carpenter, watch out.
The location of the four microphones in the iPhone 16 Pro.
The phone can record spatial audio! There’s a new Audio Mix feature that’s powered by machine learning to separate background sound and pick from different voice options! You can record sound as in a professional studio, but on your phone!
One nitpick about slow-mo videos — which I toyed with a lot when it first became a feature on the iPhone — is that the file format just doesn’t transfer well. Years of iCloud migrations later, those slow-mo videos I shot back then are now just low-res and not slow-mo.
Kind of insane that phones can now record 4K video at 120 frames per second. PHONES!
Clearly one of our friends in that promo segment has seen John Woo films and the other one hasn’t. You always walk in slow motion with balls of fire at your back.
Apple is using AI to borrow a page from a little app called Burbn circa 2010 and introduce color filters in photos.
