Apple expected to unveil foldable iPhone and smart home devices in September
Apple is preparing for an extensive product launch in September, which is expected to coincide with the leadership transition of John Ternus succeeding Tim Cook as CEO. Reports indicate the event could feature up to eight new products, headlined by the company’s first foldable device, the iPhone Ultra.
Other anticipated hardware includes the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, which may feature 2nm A20 Pro chips and variable aperture cameras. The Apple Watch lineup is also expected to expand with the Series 12 and Ultra 4. Notably, rumors suggest Apple may skip the release of a standard iPhone model this year, focusing instead on premium tiers.
Apple is also expected to make a significant push into the smart home market. Potential announcements include a new Apple TV 4K, a second-generation HomePod mini, and a preview of a new smart home hub. While the product lineup is expanding, rising memory chip prices may lead to higher retail costs for these new devices.
