How to watch Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 16 launch event tomorrow

It's set to be a big one, don't miss it

It's almost time for another of Apple's legendary launch events, here's how to make sure you don't miss a thing.

Dubbed 'Glowtime', Apple is kicking off it's next event this Monday (9 September) where we're expecting to see the latest iPhone lineup as well as an official launch date for the full rollout of iOS 18.

Back in June the tech giant held it's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) where we got the scoop on their plans for this year. In amongst announcements about the Vision Pro, we also got updates on the highly anticipated iOS 18 which is set to completely change how we use our iPhones by incorporating AI.

Some controversial updates were also revealed including the ability to disguise apps in what many online have branded 'a cheaters paradise'.

But now, onto all things 'Glowtime'.

The event will be livestreamed on Apple's YouTube channel and will also be available via Apple's website and on the Apple TV app.

What can we expect from Apple's 'Glowtime' event?

The big announcement we're expecting from this event is the iPhone 16 lineup, revealing full specs and features including the rumoured new capture button to control the camera app. We're expected to see four new iPhone options along with some potential new colorways.

The other biggie we're expected to hear about on Monday is of course iOS 18. While we got the lowdown of what this update will be capable of back in June, we're still waiting on an official release date, though tech tipsters are betting on an October rollout.

Apple are also expected to announce the new Apple Watch Series 10 on Monday.

When is Apple's next event?

Apple haven't released any plans for another event this year, although they have historically held events in October (usually more focused on Mac computers and iPads). Other than that, we can expect the usual WWDC event next year in 2025.

While this is all very exciting news, one thing to be aware of is that iOS 18 won't be compatible with every iPhone. If you have an iPhone X or older, it might be time to upgrade if you want to use iOS 18.

Apple has confirmed that iOS 18 will be compatible with the following models:


  • iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max
  • iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max
  • iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max
  • iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max
