Apple Event: six new features to expect on September 9

Apple has announced that it will host an event on Wednesday, September 9 at 10 a.m. PT where the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, its first-ever foldable iPhone, and more.

Other products expected to be announced at the event include an Apple Watch Series 12 with a ceramic case option, an Apple Watch Ultra 4, AirPods 5 with and without active noise cancellation, and potentially more.

Here are the six products most likely to be revealed at the event.

Most likely

• iPhone 18 Pro: A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island, simplified camera control button, Dark Cherry color option, and more.
• iPhone 18 ProMax: The same specs would be rumored for the iPhone 18 Pro, but the Pro Max model could be slightly thicker due to a larger battery and a variable aperture camera, which could be exclusive to the Pro Max model this year.
• iPhone Ultra: A foldable iPhone Ultra with a 7.7-inch inner screen and a 5.3-inch outer screen, dual rear cameras, a front camera, a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID, and more. iOS 27 is expected to be tailored to the foldable iPhone, allowing side-by-side apps and other iPad-like multitasking features.
• Apple Watch Series 12: A faster S11 chip or newer, longer-lasting battery, fitness tracking improvements, and a ceramic case option.
• Apple Watch Ultra 4: A faster or newer S11 chip, fitness tracking improvements, and additional satellite features for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and newer, such as Apple Maps via satellite and the ability to send and receive photos with messages via satellite. Touch ID was initially rumored, but apparently ruled out.
• AirPods 5: Two new AirPods 5 models with and without active noise cancellation.

Other possibilities

Most of the products below will likely be announced in October this year, but perhaps some of them will appear during the September event.

• iPad mini: A19 Pro or A20 Pro chip, an OLED display, a vibration-based speaker system, and a water-resistant design.
