The much-anticipated day for tech enthusiasts has finally arrived. Apple is set to host its “Surprise and Shine” launch event today in Cupertino, California, where a lineup of exciting new products will be revealed, including the highly anticipated first folding iPhone.
This event marks John Ternus’s debut as Apple’s CEO, commencing at 5 PM UTC. You can join us to watch the live stream of the event.
The centerpiece of the event is expected to be the folding iPhone, which sources suggest will be branded as the iPhone Duo, diverging from previous names like iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra. The starting model, offering 256GB of storage, is rumored to retail for $2,000, while the premium variant may reach approximately $3,000.
The iPhone Duo is anticipated to feature an A20 Pro chip, a C2 modem, a magnetic hinge, and support for Apple Pencil. It will also include dual 48MP rear cameras and a 12MP front camera optimized for video conferencing.
In addition to the iPhone Duo, Apple plans to introduce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, while the release of the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e/iPhone Air 2 is lined up for next year.
New Apple Watches will also debut at this event. However, the AirPods 5 are reportedly delayed and may not make an appearance until 2027.
