Apple has set a September 9 livestream from its Cupertino campus to present its next iPhone lineup, including the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max and a rumored foldable handset that could open like a book. The event will be the first public appearance of John Ternus, who assumes the chief executive role on September 1. Apple also plans to launch the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra, along with new smart‑home accessories, while the regular iPhone 18 and a second‑generation iPhone Air are slated for early 2027. A prototype stylus designed for the foldable device has been shown, but the company indicated it is unlikely to be released alongside the phone.
