Apple iPhone 18 Series Launch Event 2026: How to watch live stream in India

Apple is set to unveil its latest iPhone models at the annual iPhone launch event, known as 'Surprise and Shine', on September 9 in Cupertino, California. The event will be hosted by Apple CEO John Ternus, who took over the role on September 1. Rumors suggest Apple may return to a live event format for this year's launch.

To watch the live stream of the iPhone 18 launch event in India, you can tune in to Apple's official website, Apple TV, the Apple Developer app, or the company's YouTube channel. The livestream is scheduled to begin at 10 am PT or 10:30 pm IST on September 9.

Apple is expected to showcase a range of new products during the event, with the iPhone Ultra, rumored to be the first foldable iPhone, likely taking center stage. The iPhone Ultra is said to feature a book-style design with a 5.5-inch outer screen that unfolds into a 7.8-inch internal display. Pricing for the iPhone Ultra is expected to range from $2,000 to $2,500.

In addition to the iPhone Ultra, the company is also rumored to introduce the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models, along with potential upgrades to the entry-level iPhone 18. These devices may see improvements in performance, such as faster chips and better camera capabilities. However, the iPhone 18 may be absent from the lineup this year due to chip shortages.

The event will also reportedly feature the debut of the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, which could come equipped with faster processors and new AI-powered health and fitness features. While the pricing and design specifics remain unclear, the Apple Watch lineup is expected to generate significant interest at the launch event.
