Apple Is Full of Surprises. Here’s What CNET Readers Anticipate Ahead of Wednesday’s Event
From three new iPhone models to a Cook-Ternus reunion, here’s what could go down.
Apple has unveiled an exciting lineup of surprises for its upcoming event on Wednesday, September 9. Following a three-round "Big Guessing Game," CNET readers have made their predictions, with the foldable iPhone emerging as the top anticipated surprise. This device, known as the iPhone 18, is expected to join the lineup alongside three new iPhone models and possibly Apple's first foldable phone.
The price of the foldable iPhone is estimated to range between $2,000 and $2,500, according to analysts, though CNET readers predict a significantly lower cost of $781. The event may also see the introduction of the Apple Watch Ultra 4, featuring new health and fitness features and a faster chip, although the design is expected to remain unchanged.
Apple Watch Series 12, a watch with a familiar design and biometric authentication, is also a possibility. The company could also reveal the Apple Watch Ultra 3 or even smart glasses, which are rumored to face delays until 2027 due to development bumps. Additionally, Apple may introduce a new Home hub, which could double as an AI-powered smart display hub following Siri-related delays. Lastly, Apple TV might receive an upgrade, featuring a new processor and Apple Intelligence.
