BofA securities senior IT hardware analyst Wamsi Mohan says investors should buy Apple on ‘The Claman Countdown.’
Speculation about what Apple fans could potentially see in the next iteration of the company’s iPhone lineup has been ramping up as September closes in.
September is the month in which Apple, run by CEO Tim Cook, often holds an event to introduce its newest iPhone models and offer details about their features.
The tech giant hasn’t officially announced a date for the iPhone 16’s unveiling so far; however, some recent reports say the event could be slated for around Sept. 10.

Apple customers could see the screen sizes for the two higher-end models of the iPhone 16, the Pro and the Pro Max, get bigger than those available on the current models, according to MacRumors.

The iPhone 16 Pro may boast a 6.27-inch screen, the outlet reported. For the Pro Max, it reportedly could be 6.86-inches.
Inside, the expected four-model lineup of iPhone 16s will contain A18 chips meant to provide more processing, per MacRumors. Bloomberg also reported Apple is building such chips into the iPhone 16s.
The tech giant’s current iPhone 15 slate — which consists of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max — relies on two types of chips. The former two of the models come with the A16 Bionic, while the latter two operate with the A17 Pro, according to press releases.
