Apple has officially announced the date for its highly anticipated event, set to take place on September 9 at 8:00 PM Mecca time. The event is expected to unveil a range of new products, with speculation centering on the long-awaited first foldable iPhone.
Event Details and Live Streaming
Invitations were sent out on Wednesday, and the event will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater within Apple Park. For those unable to attend in person, Apple will provide a live stream on its official website, allowing users to follow the announcements in real time.
Expected Product Launches
This year’s event has generated significant buzz, as many anticipate that Apple will finally reveal its first foldable iPhone after years of rumors and leaks. Reports suggest the device could closely resemble the design of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8.
In addition to the foldable model, Apple is expected to introduce the next generation of its professional smartphones: the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. These models are predicted to feature improvements in specifications and performance, though without the radical design changes seen in last year’s lineup.
Possible Absence of iPhone 18 Base Model
Conversely, it is unlikely that Apple will unveil the standard iPhone 18 during the September event. Instead, the base model may be postponed until next year. Speculation also points to 2027 as a potential year for the launch of the budget-friendly iPhone 18e and a new version of the iPhone Air.
Leadership Transition at Apple
The September event marks a significant milestone for Apple, as it will be the first major product launch under the leadership of John Ternus, who is set to become CEO. Ternus will succeed Tim Cook starting in early September, having previously served as Apple’s head of hardware.
