In the latest edition of the Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reported that Apple is going to begin releasing their image generation features in iOS 18.2 later this year. If history is to be followed, we should see the first beta ship in October, with the final release occurring in December.

Apple’s annual iPhone event is going to be held tomorrow, on September 9th. We’re expecting to see iPhone 16, new AirPods, some new Apple Watch models, and potentially more. However, the introduction of new products also means saying goodbye to older ones. These are some Apple products you probably won’t be able to buy from the Apple Store as soon as tomorrow.

Apple is expected to begin unveiling their M4 Mac lineup as soon as October, with updates to the iMac, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini to start off the new M4 transition. Although the event will probably be held in October, the new Macs might not ship until November.

The iPhone 16 Pro lineup will bring new features such as larger displays, a dedicated Capture button, and more. We’re also expecting multiple noticeable improvements to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max camera hardware. Here are seven things to look forward to next week…

Apple is ramping up its efforts to promote the Mac as a powerful platform for artificial intelligence. In the Apple Store app and various places around the web, Apple is promoting that the Mac is the “best AI PC.” Notably, the company is also taking direct aim at Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs in this advertising.

It’s almost time for Apple’s September 9 event, where the company will debut its newest iPhones and a whole lot more. The iPhone 16 lineup will come with four models: iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max. You can find new features for the 16 Pro models here. But below are all the details for the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models. Here’s what’s coming next week for Apple’s newest iPhones.

HomeKit has become a powerful platform, with Apple consistently enhancing its features while staying true to its privacy-first approach. They’ve even contributed to the Matter standard, expanding what the Home app can do. But there’s a big problem we need to address: HomeKit Secure Video. Vendors are largely ignoring it, and while this isn’t entirely Apple’s fault, it’s a problem they need to solve.

As Apple’s next event draws closer, we learn more about the products the company will announce on Monday. Following a report earlier today about Apple Watch Series 10 featuring sleep apnea detection, 9to5Mac has now learned more details about the next generation Apple Watch.

The iPhone 15 Pro had (has?) a known overheating issue. Apple reportedly solved the problem shortly after launch via a software update. But I own and use the iPhone 15 Pro, and overheating continues to be a problem for me. Maybe it’s now a more “normal” amount of heat, but it’s still an issue I experience to this day. Fortunately, rumors indicate Apple may have a fix on the way with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro.

The iPhone 16 is coming in just a few days. Next week, Apple will hold a special event to unveil its flagship iPhone updates, new Apple Watch hardware, and more. Here’s a roundup of everything to expect at the “It’s Glowtime” special event on September 9.

It’s been a while since Apple last updated the iPad mini, and a recent report suggested that the next generation is indeed coming soon. However, contrary to what some may have thought, it seems that Apple won’t be announcing new iPads next week alongside the new iPhones.

Our friends at GRID are running a blockbuster sale to celebrate their fourth anniversary. From now until September 12, you can save hundreds of dollars on GRID’s most popular deconstructed wall art frames. My personal favorite is the GRID 1, which you can get for $299 (down from $699).

Apple’s years-long effort to replace Qualcomm’s 5G modems with its own chips is nearing an end. Previously, Ming-Chi Kuo has indicated Apple’s first in-house 5G modems will debut in select 2025 iPhones. Today, he shares his expectation for Apple’s expansion plans in the years ahead.

New Apple Watch models will be announced at Monday’s iPhone 16 event. The Apple Watch Series 10 will come in two sizes that are bigger than ever, with the larger model matching the Ultra’s screen size. As a result, I think the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will be a harder sell than ever before. However, there are still plenty of reasons to choose the new Ultra model. Here are three advantages the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will have over the Series 10.
