Apple expected to unveil folding iPhone as new CEO takes center stage

Apple is set to host its “Surprise and Shine” event in Cupertino, where it is widely expected to debut its first foldable iPhone. The device, rumored to be named the iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra, is anticipated to feature a 7.8-inch display when opened and a 5.5-inch screen when closed. Notably, the model will likely replace Face ID with Touch ID due to its thin design. Priced above $2,000, the device represents a significant shift for the company. This event also marks the debut of John Ternus as Apple’s new CEO, following his appointment on September 1. In addition to the foldable handset, Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro series, updates to the Apple Watch and AirPods, and potentially its first touchscreen MacBook. The launch serves as a critical test for Ternus as he leads the tech giant into its next product cycle.
