According to IT House news on September 9, as usual, Apple’s online store has suspended services in preparation for Apple’s autumn new product launch, which will open at 1 am tomorrow.

It is expected that Apple will release the new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, the folding screen model iPhone Duo, Apple Watch Series 12, and the new fifth-generation AirPods.

This is the first time that new CEO John Ternus will host a new product launch. Several products will be unveiled this time, including iPhone Duo, Apple’s first foldable iPhone.

When the iPhone Duo is folded and closed, the outer screen measures about 5.5 inches; when fully unfolded, the inner screen measures about 7.8 inches, which is slightly smaller than the iPad mini. The expanded large screen can not only bring an immersive audio-visual experience, but also support split-screen multi-tasking, and can run two applications at the same time, greatly improving office efficiency.

Apple plans to differentiate among many foldable phones by relying on high-end workmanship, including self-developed custom hinges. It is predicted that the crease in the middle of the inner screen of this model will be very slight.

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will also be officially launched at this conference. The new models are equipped with new processors, upgraded imaging systems, and a new cherry red color scheme. The width of the smart island of the new Pro model has been further narrowed, and the frame has become narrower.

The standard version of iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 will not be unveiled at this conference. Apple has adjusted its product release rhythm. The entry-level iPhone will no longer be released in the fall and is expected to be postponed to the following spring. Until then, Apple will most likely continue to sell the iPhone 17 standard version.

In addition, Apple will also release a new Apple Watch product line, including Series 12 and Ultra 4, as well as fifth-generation AirPods. It is reported that the new watch has upgraded health monitoring functions and added AI functions that can automatically summarize users’ daily activities.

IT House has noticed that Apple has a number of new hardware products about to be launched, including smart home displays, new Apple TV and HomePod mini, as well as MacBook Pro equipped with OLED touch screens. Most leaked information shows that these products will be released later this year, with a high probability of being scheduled for a second conference in October.
