Apple 'It's Glowtime' Event: Apple Store Goes DOWN Ahead of iPhone 16 Series Launch

Apple 'It's Glowtime' Event: Hours ahead of the Apple's biggest launch event, the tech giant's online store went offline on Monday morning. It signals the imminent launch of Apple's new products at the event. Apple's 'It's Glowtime' event is set to take place at 10 PM IST today.

Apple is expected to launch the much-anticipated iPhone 16 series – iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Other key launches might include the Apple Watch Series 10 or Apple Watch X, new AirPods, an updated AirPods Pro, and a new iPad.

New A18 Chip For iPhone 16 Models

The iPhone 16 models are said to be based on the new A18 chip, enabling Apple Intelligence across the lineup. Apple Intelligence is one of the key features for iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models. However, not all upcoming AI features are created equally. According to previous leaks, the iPhone 16 models will include a bigger action button and a capture button.

Meanwhile, more details about the iPhone’s new touch-sensitive capture button recently emerged. According to the report, the capture button will be capable of “reproducing different actions depending on how you press or slide it.” Once you press the button, it will open the built-in camera app or an alternative selected by the user. The camera will focus with a gentle press and then a harder press will start capturing photos or videos.

This report confirms the previous leaks and further claims that you will be able to adjust zoom or exposure by sliding a finger across the button. If this happens, it will make it easier and quicker to do such adjustments.
