Apple has released beta 7 of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, gearing up for an official launch in the coming month.

Speculation is rife regarding the iPhone 16 event date, with rumors pointing to either September 4 or September 10.

The upcoming event is anticipated to unveil the Apple Watch Series 10, which features a larger display and may introduce a redesigned band system that could make older bands incompatible.

Alongside the Apple Watch Series 10, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will also be showcased, though the Series 10's enhancements could impact Ultra 3 sales.

The new iPhone models are expected to be powered by the A17 Pro chip or the forthcoming A18 Pro chip, with a focus on AI integration.

Rumors suggest that the iPhone 16 models will feature iterative improvements, including slight increases in screen size for the Pro versions.

Both new iPhone models are likely to adopt a USB-C charging port, moving away from the traditional Lightning connector.

The standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus may introduce an Action Button, allowing users to customize functions like changing ringer settings.

The new Control Center in iOS 18 offers enhanced customization options and easier access to settings.

A new Passwords app, built on Keychain, will streamline password management, while Safari will feature website summarization.

The Notes app has received significant enhancements, including live audio transcription, equation solving, and voice memo transcription.

User reactions to the new color options for the iPhone 16 have been mixed, with some praising the bronze hue while others express disappointment over a lack of innovation.
