First launch under new CEO
The month of September holds special significance for Apple. This event will be organized from 10 am on Wednesday from Apple's headquarters in California, which can be seen in India at 10:30 pm. The launch is also significant because it is the first major iPhone launch event under new CEO John Ternes.
Features of iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max
According to media reports, this time the company will introduce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max first, while the launch of the standard iPhone 18 is likely to be postponed to the early months of 2027. According to Apple's supply chain, the base model is expected to be launched in early 2027.
Pro series with A20 chipset
iPhone 18 Pro Max is likely to get a larger battery. The iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to have a new A20 Pro chipset, a smaller Dynamic Island, new camera controls, and new color options. Some reports have revealed that this model may feature a camera with variable aperture, which will provide a significant upgrade to the camera system.
foldable iPhone unveiled
The biggest attraction of this event could be Apple's first foldable iPhone, which is being known as iPhone Ultra or Folding iPhone. However, the name has not been officially confirmed yet. The device is likely to have an internal screen of around 7.7 inches and an external display of 5.3 inches. There are talks of two 48MP rear cameras, one front camera and A20 Pro chip. The most important thing is that instead of Face ID, there is a possibility of getting Touch ID in the power button.
