Apple is poised to host its annual autumn event on September 9, marking a highly anticipated occasion for technology enthusiasts. With the tagline “Surprise and shine,” the event is expected to showcase a range of new products, including the latest generation of iPhones and Apple Watches. Speculation suggests that attendees may encounter some significant announcements that go beyond the usual expectations.

The company has maintained its usual secrecy regarding the specifics of the event. However, preliminary reports have provided insight into potential product launches, notably the iPhone 18 Pro series, a foldable iPhone, and a next-generation Apple Watch line.

This event holds particular significance as it will be John Ternus’s inaugural major iPhone launch following his appointment as CEO earlier this month. Tim Cook now assumes the role of executive chairman, marking a transition in leadership for the technology giant.

Anticipated iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max Features

The iPhone 18 Pro and its counterpart, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, are among the most anticipated devices at the event. While the overall design is expected to remain similar to previous models, significant internal upgrades are on the horizon. The new A20 Pro chip, enhanced camera systems, and improvements in display technology are expected features.

Additional features reportedly include a compressed Dynamic Island and an upgraded C2 modem. Users may also see a new Camera Control button for simplified access and fresh colour options, one of which includes Dark Cherry. The Pro Max version may receive extra enhancements, potentially including a slightly thicker design for a larger battery and an innovative variable-aperture main camera, which would adjust based on lighting for improved image quality.

The introduction of these features positions Apple’s latest offerings as leading contenders in the smartphone market, appealing to both existing users and potential customers alike. Attention will be focused on how these enhancements compare to competitors in the field.

Apple’s First Foldable iPhone and Other Innovations

In addition to the Pro series, Apple is reportedly ready to reveal its long-awaited foldable iPhone, which is anticipated to make its debut on September 9. This device is speculated to feature a unique book-style design that includes a 5.5-inch outer OLED screen which unfolds into a more spacious 7.8-inch display.

The design could allow for a notably slim profile, measuring as thin as 4.5mm when opened. However, some design compromises may be necessary; the foldable might incorporate Touch ID instead of the facial recognition system, integrating the fingerprint sensor into the side button. It is expected to come equipped with two rear cameras, compared to the three-camera arrangement seen in higher-end models.

Reports indicate the device could be branded as the iPhone Ultra, although Apple has yet to confirm this name. The anticipated starting price could exceed $2,000, placing it in a premium market segment.

Other Expected Product Launches

In addition to the flagship devices, Apple is predicted to refresh its smartwatch offerings with the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4. The Series 12 may maintain an iconic design while upgrading to a faster processor and enhancing health-tracking capabilities. A ceramic case option might also return.

The Watch Ultra 4 is likely to receive similar internal upgrades while preserving its existing design language. Furthermore, the introduction of AirPods 5 is anticipated, featuring two versions—one with active noise cancellation and another without it. The expected H3 chip could improve audio performance.

Interestingly, the standard iPhone 18 may not be launched at this event, as reports suggest a strategic shift in Apple’s release schedule. The base iPhone 18, along with its variants, might debut in spring 2027. As such, the focus for September appears to be squarely on premium offerings.
