Apple will host its annual launch event next week. The company has named it ‘Surprise and Shine’. Traditionally, Apple unveils new iPhone models in September. This year, the event is expected to be different.
Rumors suggest Apple will launch only the iPhone 18 Pro series and its first book‑style foldable. New Apple Watch and AirPods models may also debut. The standard iPhone 18 could be delayed.
Apple is also expected to introduce new smart home devices. These include two HomePod models and the next‑generation Apple TV 4K. Reports mention a HomePod Touch with a 7‑inch touchscreen. The HomePod Mini 2 may feature a new chipset and Siri AI. Apple TV 4K could arrive with a stronger processor and updated Siri tools.
The event is scheduled for September 9 at Apple Park, Cupertino. It will begin at 10:00 am PT (10:30 pm IST). Expected launches include iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Ultra, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5.
