Bloomberg reports on the products that will be announced at the event that will be held from 2:00 a.m. on September 10, 2026, a few hours later, and their main features. The same media reports that the model name of the foldable iPhone will be “iPhone Duo” and that it will be compatible with Apple Pencil.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Garman previously reported that Apple internally calls the folding model “Ultra.”
It was thought that the model name might be iPhone Ultra, but we expect that it will ultimately be iPhone Duo, which has been a hot topic for the past few days.
In addition, we also cover predictions regarding the new Apple Watch and AirPods 5 that will be announced at this event.
Products and features announced at the event
This is expected to be Bloomberg’s final report for the upcoming event “Good Morning World.”
This article covers the new products that are expected to be announced and their main features.
iPhone Duo
The model name of the foldable iPhone is “iPhone Duo”, it is expected to be compatible with Apple Pencil and have a minimum storage capacity of 256GB.
The lowest-priced model will retail for $2,000, with models with the highest storage capacity expected to reach around $3,000.
Considering that the iPhone 17 Pro Max 2TB model, which costs $1,999 in the US, is sold for 354,800 yen including tax in Japan, it is estimated that the iPhone Duo will also cost 354,800 yen including tax.
If the highest priced model costs about $3,000, it could cost more than 500,000 yen including tax in Japan. It is reported that the maximum storage capacity will be 2TB.
The iPhone Duo’s main display is expected to be able to display multiple apps side by side, allowing for multitasking similar to the iPad.
There are two body colors: white and dark blue, and the release date is expected to be later than the iPhone 18 Pro series, at the earliest in October.
iPhone18 Pro series
The basic design of the iPhone 18 Pro series is almost the same as the iPhone 17 Pro series, and it is expected that a new burgundy red body color will be adopted.
There are rumors of multiple names for this color, including dark cherry and deep red, and we will have to wait for the official name to be announced.
Regarding the variable aperture mechanism that is rumored to be used in the main camera, Bloomberg reports that it will be included in “at least” the iPhone 18 Pro Max.
From this expression, it is thought that it is likely to be installed on the iPhone 18 Pro Max, but there is still a possibility that it will be adopted on the iPhone 18 Pro.
Dynamic Island is expected to be smaller and will be able to switch between displaying up to three live activities instead of the current two.
In addition, it is expected that the A20 Pro will be installed, the battery life will be extended, and the vapor chamber will be improved.
New Apple Watch
Bloomberg predicts that Apple Watch Series 12 will have a ceramic case lineup for the first time in a while, and new colors and new bands will also be added.
Apple Watch Ultra 4 is expected to have extended battery life, exceeding the current Ultra 3’s maximum 42 hours of normal use.
The new Apple Watch is also expected to include a Readiness app that utilizes health and fitness information.
It appears that the new health care features will be used in conjunction with the revamped iPhone Health app.
Furthermore, it is expected that a new feature to compete with the recent increase in AI wearables will be the ability to analyze and summarize the user’s daily activities.
Although this function also summarizes the content of the conversation, the transcription is not displayed and the voice itself is not recorded or saved to protect privacy.
AirPods 5
AirPods 5 is also expected to be announced at this event. Similar to the current AirPods 4, it is expected that there will be two types of models in the lineup.
Lower models are not equipped with active noise canceling, while higher models are equipped with the same function, and noise canceling performance is expected to be significantly improved.
The models will also be differentiated in terms of support for wireless charging, and higher-end models are expected to come with a wireless charging compatible case.
