Any new iPhone version is eagerly awaited by the technology world and users. Recently, information about the release date of iPhone 16 has been leaked.
Apple has a habit of launching new iPhone versions every September and this year is likely to be no exception.
Technology site CNMO Technology News quoted sources close to Apple saying that "apple" will launch iPhone 16 on September 10.
This makes sense because Apple typically holds special events to launch new iPhones on the second Tuesday of September, then officially releases the devices 10 days later, on the Friday of the weekend.
For example, last year, Apple also launched the iPhone 15 series on Tuesday (September 12) and officially sold the products on the market on September 22.
CNMO Technology News sources said that in addition to the iPhone 16 series, Apple will also launch the Watch Series 10 smartwatch, the 3rd generation Apple Watch Ultra, and the low-cost Watch SE 3.

Not long after the news about the iPhone 16 launch date, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) also quoted sources saying that Foxconn had just recruited 50,000 more workers to work at the factory in Zhengzhou city to assemble the iPhone 16 and prepare for this series of products to be sold on the market.
Previous leaks have suggested that Apple will launch the iPhone 16 in four variants, including the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max. This is likely to be the last model to feature a Plus option, as many sources have said that Apple will launch the iPhone 17 Slim to replace the Plus option next year.
Leaked images on the internet show that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max duo have no change in design compared to the old version, but there will be a change in screen size.
Specifically, the iPhone 16 Pro will increase the screen to 6.3 inches, instead of 6.1 inches like on the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will increase the screen from 6.7 inches in the old version to 6.9 inches.
In contrast, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus duo will have a change in the design of the rear camera cluster, with 2 dual cameras arranged vertically, no longer staggered as before. The island cluster containing 2 cameras is also reduced to a rectangular shape, instead of a square shape. The flash is also separated from the island cluster containing the camera.

The screen size on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus duo remains the same as on the previous iPhone 15, 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches wide respectively.
Insiders also said that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max duo will be equipped with the highest-end A18 Pro processor chip, while the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus duo will only have the A18 chip with a lower clock speed. Both Pro variants are equipped with a 48-megapixel main camera and a periscope camera that supports 5x optical zoom.
Of course, all the current information is still just rumors and there is no confirmed information. Perhaps we will have to wait until the end of August or early September, when Apple sends out invitations to announce its special event, then we will know the exact time of the iPhone 16's official launch.
