Last-minute iPhone event rumors: Pre-order time, AirPods 5 features, more

Apple's highly anticipated "Surprise and Shine" event is just hours away, and rumors suggest a lineup of exciting announcements. The event, expected to take place on September 12, may see the pre-order availability of both the iPhone 18 Pro and the foldable iPhone Duo. Pre-orders for these devices are said to begin at the usual time of 5 a.m. PT/8 a.m. ET.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman revealed additional details about the iPhone 18 Pro, including the claim that it will charge up to 33% faster than its predecessor, the iPhone 17 Pro models. A developer named Pdfu shared code evidence supporting this claim.

AirPods 5, slated for introduction at today's event, will come in versions with and without a wireless charging case, boasting improved noise cancellation. However, Apple had initially planned to announce AirPods with cameras during this event, but those have been pushed to next year.

Interestingly, Bloomberg also shared a few additional specs for the iPhone Duo, further adding to the buzz surrounding this anticipated product. As the Apple event approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting any new devices that could enhance their Apple experience.
