Apple's fall 2026 iPhone launch event
- Pre-launch reporting indicates the iPhone 18 Pro lineup will carry a modest US price hike of about $100.
- John Ternus takes over as Apple CEO and faces a high-stakes September 9 launch featuring the foldable iPhone and the iPhone 18 Pro, amid anticipated price increases driven by rising memory costs.
Dana Whitfield Pencil support sounds useful but I doubt the hinge will survive daily drops and pocket lint.
Dana Whitfield A foldable iPhone might be neat but I bet the crease and battery life will be issues in daily use.
Derek Foss Mark Gurman usually gets these right so maybe titanium will stick around in new shades. Still waiting on actual photos.
Jared Kim A folding phone from Apple feels overdue, but I'm more curious if Ternus will push any real software changes or just keep the same old approach.
Elena Vasquez Security patches like this one are the main reason I keep my devices updated right away.
Nicole Hardy This leak makes me wonder what other private info that Verizon tool might be sharing.
Chris Dalton It's smart to get ahead on accessories, but only if the new design actually happens next year.
Sam Okafor Wonder if the video points to a titanium redesign or something more subtle like improved thermals.
Priya Raman Starting at that price would price out most people and hurt sales overall.
Jared Kim Honestly a stylus makes more sense on a foldable than a regular iPhone, more screen real estate to actually use it for notes or sketching.
Nicole Hardy Apple always shows up late to these things then somehow makes it feel new. Curious if that trick still works with foldables.
