What NOT to Expect at Apple's 'Surprise and Shine' September 9 Event

The keynote is expected to feature Apple’s first foldable iPhone, with reports also pointing to new Watches, AirPods and a smart home device.

  • Apple will host its annual product launch event tomorrow at 1 p.m. ET, marking the first major presentation under new CEO John Ternus, who took over from Tim Cook on September 1.
  • Dubbed the 'Surprise and Shine' fall event, this presentation follows Ternus's brief eight-day tenure as CEO after Cook announced his stepping down in April, making this a consequential debut for the new leader.
  • Much anticipation centers on a rumored foldable model, potentially named 'Ultra' or 'Duo,' which leaks suggest will cost around $2,000 to $2,500 with a 7.7- to 7.8-inch inner display and four cameras.
  • Apple's strategy narrows to premium models, with iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max featuring the A20 chip for enhanced image processing, while AirPods 5 and Apple Watch Series 12 receive iterative updates.
  • Narrowly focused on premium smartphones, the event relegates other updates—including new Macs, revamped Apple TV, and a smarter HomePod—to a separate presentation later this year.
