Apple will hold its annual presentation of new iPhones on September 9 at Apple Park in Cupertino. The event will begin at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, and the company has already issued invitations to media representatives.
The tech giant is expected to showcase the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone model during the product launch. However, a report from MacRumors indicates that a standard iPhone 18 will not be released this year, with its release alongside other more affordable models postponed to the spring of 2027.
The new Pro versions may feature an updated A20 Pro chip and a camera equipped with a variable aperture. Recent reports following a cyberattack on an Apple partner disclosed preliminary details regarding the camera on the iPhone 18 Pro, while separate reports indicate Apple may save costs on the display for the flagship iPhone 18 Pro Max.
Design features of the foldable iPhone
The upcoming foldable iPhone will mark Apple's first new smartphone form factor since the release of the iPhone X. The device will feature a book-style design, measuring approximately 5.5 inches when folded and expanding to 7.6 inches when unfolded.
Due to the specific features of its thin body, the foldable smartphone will likely receive Touch ID instead of Face ID authentication. The device is also expected to lack a telephoto camera.
Additional hardware and software updates
Alongside the new iPhone models, Apple may introduce the Apple Watch Series 12 and the Apple Watch Ultra 4. The event is also expected to feature new smart home devices, including a home hub, an updated Apple TV 4K, and a HomePod mini.
At the presentation, Apple is set to announce the release dates for several upcoming operating systems, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate.
Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California, known for developing hardware such as the iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers. Its annual September presentation at Apple Park serves as the company's main event for launching flagship consumer electronics ahead of the end of the year.
