What’s next for Apple in 2024?

The next Apple event is very likely to be the launch of the rumored iPhone 16 range, comprising the standard and Plus models, and the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. 

We also expect to see the rumored Apple Watch 10, and potentially the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Max 2. 

Expect to see such products to be unveiled early or mid-September, as that’s when Apple tends to hold its main showcase in the second half of the year.
