Apple\u2019s next launch event will take place on September 9th at 1PM ET. Invites to the event, which has a \u201cSurprise and shine\u201d tagline, were sent out on Wednesday. The event will take place at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, but there will also be a livestream on Apple\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
September\u2019s show could be a big one, as Apple may finally announce the long-rumored foldable iPhone. A photo of an apparent dummy unit indicates the foldable may have a wide form factor that\u2019s similar to what Samsung used with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, a phone that our reviewer Dominic Preston said \u201cfeels like the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Apple is also expected to refresh its Pro and Pro Max phones, but those are rumored to be iterative upgrades and not a big redesign like Apple announced last year. Should past trends continue, they\u2019ll likely be called the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
However Apple reportedly won\u2019t announce the base model iPhone 18 at the event and instead introduce it next year. In 2027, Apple is also rumored to be launching an iPhone 18e and a second-generation iPhone Air.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
