Save the date! This Monday, September 9, 2024, is Apple's back-to-school season. The date is set, the Cupertino firm is waiting for us from 7 p.m. (French time). And if this event is so important, it's because Apple should present its new smartphones there: the iPhone 16 series models. But that's not all. For the back-to-school season, Apple would have a lot of other things to tell us.
While waiting for Apple's back-to-school keynote, we take stock of the new features that should be announced on this occasion. Here are the 4 announcements to expect on September 9, 2024.
No surprises there. Apple's keynote will allow Tim Cook and his teams to lift the veil on the new iPhone 16. In all likelihood, there should be four models so that everyone can find what they're looking for: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. According to rumors circulating on the web, all of these models would be compatible with Apple Intelligence, Apple's AI features, thanks to 8 GB of RAM. As a reminder, for the moment, only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are compatible with these features.
Of course, the Cupertino company is expected to offer further improvements on the technical sheet, compared to the 2023 models (camera, design, processor, etc.). However, artificial intelligence should be Apple's main selling point. Moreover, it is quite possible that the company will announce new AI features (in addition to those already presented in June) that will be exclusive to the iPhone 16 series.
In any case, according to some analysts, Apple expects a sharp increase in iPhone sales after the release of the iPhone 16, thanks to artificial intelligence. But, unfortunately, Apple Intelligence still only supports the English language. Due to European Union rules, Apple has already indicated that it will not deploy Apple Intelligence in the EU in 2024.

In addition to its new AI-boosted flagships, Apple is also expected to unveil new accessories. Currently, many rumors are already circulating about the new generation of Apple Watch, which would be called Apple Watch 10 or Apple Watch X. As a reminder, on September 9, the Apple Watch will celebrate its 10th anniversary. As a result, it is quite possible that the company will offer a special version, with a particular design, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch.
Apple is expected to continue on this path and could also present new wireless headphones. There are several rumors of AirPods 4, AirPods Pro 3 with better noise reduction, as well as AirPod Max 2 headphones. It remains to be seen whether the Cupertino company will be as generous.
Even if you don't intend to buy a new Apple product, you should rejoice, because a few days after its keynote, Apple should start rolling out new versions of its platforms, including iOS 18. In addition, it is rumored that this year, the macOS Sequoia update could be launched at the same time as iOS 18, while traditionally, Macs are updated after iPhones. In fact, Apple would launch the two updates at the same time in order to ensure that iPhone Mirroring, which allows you to control an iPhone on the screen of a Mac, works properly.
