10 Things to Expect From Apple’s September 9 “Surprise and Shine” Event

Apple's Biggest September Surprise?

Apple's September 9 event could be one of its most important launches in years. The company has confirmed the “Surprise and shine” event, while reports point to new iPhones, a first foldable, Apple Watches and AirPods. Here are 10 things to watch for.

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to headline the event. Reports point to a smaller Dynamic Island, camera upgrades and Apple's next-generation A20 Pro chip. The Pro Max could also receive exclusive camera technology, including a variable-aperture lens.

The First Foldable iPhone

Apple's long-rumoured foldable iPhone could finally become reality. Reports suggest a book-style design with an approximately 5.5-inch outer display and a much larger foldable screen when opened. The device is widely expected to carry the iPhone Ultra name, although Apple has not confirmed it.

Apple Watch Series 12

The Apple Watch Series 12 is expected to join the launch lineup. Reports suggest Apple could introduce a faster S12 chip and new health and fitness capabilities. A redesigned case or refreshed band system could also give the smartwatch a visual update.

Apple Watch Ultra 4

The rugged Apple Watch Ultra could receive its next-generation upgrade alongside the standard Watch. The Ultra 4 is expected to focus on performance, health tracking and battery improvements. Apple could also introduce changes to materials or band compatibility, making the new model more than a simple refresh.

AirPods 5 Could Arrive

New AirPods are also among the products expected at the event. Reports suggest AirPods 5 could receive design and health-related improvements, while camera-equipped AirPods are reportedly being saved for a later date. Apple has not confirmed the specifications or launch details.

More Than Just iPhones?

The biggest surprise could come from outside the iPhone lineup. Reports have pointed to possible Apple TV and smart-home announcements, although some products may arrive later. With the event's “Surprise and shine” theme, Apple could still have an unexpected product waiting behind the curtain.
