Apple September event preview — all the new products to expect at iPhone 18 Pro launch (and beyond)
With Apple's "Surprise and Shine" event days away, here's everything we expect to see on September 9.
Apple's highly anticipated "Surprise and Shine" event is just a few days away, set for Wednesday, September 9 at Apple Park. The event, typically held on a Tuesday, has been pushed to Wednesday due to Labor Day. CEO John Ternus will lead the company's first major event since taking the helm.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to unveil nine new devices over the next year, with nine of these expected to be announced at the September event. These include the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models, a foldable iPhone Ultra, the Apple Watch 12, and a new HomePod.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to remain unchanged in design from last year's iPhone 17 Pro models, but with a smaller Dynamic Island and a 24MP selfie camera. They will feature a new 2nm A20 Pro chip and a new C2 modem, with potential performance upgrades due to the largest GPU ever placed in an iPhone.
The foldable iPhone Ultra, the biggest announcement of the event, is rumored to have a crease-free foldable display, one of the main challenges that delayed foldable iPhones. It is expected to measure between 4.5 and 4.8mm when unfolded and house a variety of cameras along with the A20 Pro chipset. Its battery capacity is reported to be around 4,883 mAh. However, the Ultra may have a higher price tag, potentially costing between $2,000 and $2,500, and could have limited availability.
