Apple Schedules September 9 iPhone Event, Foldable Model Expected
Apple has confirmed it will hold its annual iPhone launch event on September 9, a date that tech observers have anticipated for weeks.
The event is expected to be particularly significant for several reasons. Most notably, industry analysts and supply chain sources have pointed to the unveiling of Apple's long-rumored foldable iPhone—a device that has been the subject of speculation for several years as competitors like Samsung and Google have already released multiple generations of foldable smartphones.
The September 9 event will also carry historical weight as the first major product launch under John Ternus, who officially becomes Apple's CEO on September 1. Ternus, who has led Apple's hardware engineering division, will succeed Tim Cook, who has held the role since 2011. The timing means Ternus will oversee the transition and the launch event in close succession.
Apple has not officially confirmed any specific product announcements, as is customary ahead of its keynotes. The company is expected to reveal its latest iPhone lineup alongside updates to other products in its ecosystem, including Apple Watch and AirPods.
