  • CEO John Ternus led his first major product launch as chief executive, marking a significant moment following Tim Cook's transition to executive chairman after 15 years running the company.
  • The foldable utilizes a precision titanium hinge with over 100 components and the A20 Pro chip. Its design includes a 7.6-inch inner screen, 5.4-inch outer display, Apple Pencil support, and IP68 water resistance.
