Apple's iPhone 16 series is set to launch on September 10, 2024, with pre-orders starting on September 13 and official sales commencing on September 20. The new lineup, including the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, will feature significant upgrades such as the A18 chip, 8GB of RAM, and Apple Intelligence features supported after an iOS 18.1 update in October. Additional features include a new Capture button, a vertical camera layout, and vibrant color options. Foxconn has hired 50,000 additional workers to handle increased production, and OLED panel production from Samsung and LG is on track. This year marks a departure from Apple's usual strategy, as the anticipated Apple Intelligence feature will not be available at launch but will be integrated in a software update expected in October. The iPhone 16 Pro Max will maintain its starting price of $1,199.
