At Apple’s recent “Glowtime” event, major details about the iPhone 16 lineup were revealed, including exciting new features like a dedicated camera launch button and the introduction of new colors, such as ultramarine. The phones will also come equipped with the latest iOS 18 and enhanced Apple Intelligence features.
