Apple (AAPL) is likely to unveil its newest phones and the next generations of the Apple Watch and AirPods at an event on Monday.
The iPhone maker is expected to officially announce the long-anticipated iPhone 16, supercharged with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
The event is called "It’s Glowtime," with the company's announcement displaying the company's logo in the style of the glowing aura of Apple's Siri interface. The virtual assistant with new AI-powered capabilities is likely to be a focus of the event.
Apple in June announced its newest operating system, iOS 18, and its personal intelligence system, Apple Intelligence. The coming event will land roughly a year after Apple's iPhone 15 launch.
The company also unveiled a partnership with Microsoft-backed (MSFT) OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into iOS 18 later this year. Apple Intelligence is expected to roll out after the initial iOS 18 launch.
Apple's event comes not long after Alphabet's (GOOGL) Made By Google launch event, at which the company unveiled the Pixel 9, along with the latest versions of its smartwatches and wireless earbuds.
That event, held in mid-August, showcased how the company is integrating AI into its devices, including its AI voice assistant, Gemini Live.
Apple shares have gained close to 15% since the start of the year, at $220.82 as of Friday's close.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged Nigerians in the diaspora to stay resilient and hopeful for a brighter future for the country.
Speaking during a virtual interactive session with some Nigerians in the diaspora on Saturday, September 7, Atiku said the state of the economy has led to untold hardship for millions of Nigerians, and the poverty index continues to rise.
He, however, urged Nigerian citizens not to give up on the nation despite the current socio-economic challenges.
“I urge you not to give up just yet. Your strength and resilience are crucial to Nigeria’s future.
As Nigerians living abroad, you have a unique perspective on what good governance and economic management look like.
I encourage you to continue to pray for Nigeria’s deliverance. Your prayers and support can help bring about the transformation we need.
I believe in the potential of our great nation, and I know that with collective effort, we can overcome the current challenges and build a prosperous Nigeria for all,” he said.

Former President Donald Trump laid out some of his economic proposals on the campaign trail this week, focusing on increasing tariffs and cutting spending.
Speaking Thursday at the Economic Club of New York, the Republican presidential candidate outlined proposals focused on reducing regulations, increasing energy production, boosting tariffs, and cutting taxes, which he said would help bring down inflation and create jobs.
Tariffs on goods made in other countries were a major element of Trump’s economic plan, though he said he would later announce more specifics about the amount of tariffs he would pursue.
Trump said the domestic automobile industry, along with the American steel, aluminum, and defense industries, would benefit from the tariffs.
“A combination of fair trade, tax cuts, regulatory cuts and energy abundance will allow us to produce more goods, better and cheaper, right here in the U.S.A.,” Trump said.
In the past, Trump has proposed imposing tariffs of 60% or more on Chinese imports, as well as across-the-board tariffs of between 10% and 20%. Economists have said merchants would likely pass on any increased tariffs to consumers under that proposal.
Another centerpiece of the proposal was to create a “government efficiency commission” to look for ways to reduce wasteful spending. Trump said he got the idea from Tesla CEO Elon Musk and would ask him to head the commission.
His plan to reduce regulations included eliminating 10 regulations for every new regulation introduced. Trump also pledged to make America the “world capital” for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, though offered no specific details on policy changes to enact that plan.
Trump also emphasized his plans to increase oil production, saying he would use emergency powers to push through new oil drilling, refinery construction, new power plants and other projects to increase output.
Another of Trump’s planks was to eliminate spending on the “Green New Deal” and take back unspent dollars set aside in the Inflation Reduction Act, which included funding for clean energy projects.
To encourage housing production, Trump said that if he was elected, the government would open up large tracts of federal land for housing development.
Trump said he would keep in place tax cuts set to expire in 2025. He also reiterated his plan to eliminate taxes on tips and on Social Security payments.
