↗
Apple announced a September 9 launch event at Apple Park, rumored to include a foldable iPhone, iPhone 18 Pro models, Apple Watch updates, new smart home devices, and the first event under incoming CEO John Ternus.
This marks the first Apple event led by John Ternus, who takes over from Tim Cook on September 1, signaling a leadership transition for a company whose product launches are closely watched across the hardware and software ecosystem. The rumored foldable iPhone would be a significant hardware departure, while the staggered iPhone 18 release, Pro models now, standard model next year, could affect developer timelines for apps targeting new device capabilities. Software launch dates for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate may also be set, giving engineers concrete targets for platform updates.
