Apple 2026 event: foldable iPhone, AI push, and CEO John Ternus debuts

thehindubusinessline.com

Apple's 'Surprise and Shine' event on Wednesday marks CEO John Ternus' first public appearance, with a foldable iPhone, deeper AI integration, and rising costs expected to dominate. Analysts predict the foldable phone will cost $2,000-2,500, pricier than rivals, potentially boosting a category that is only 2% of the global market. Apple may also skip a base iPhone 18, launching only Pro variants with possible price increases. The event is expected to cover Apple Watch, AirPods, and Mac refreshes, with AI use cases expanding beyond June's WWDC. All eyes are on Ternus to see if he maintains Tim Cook's discipline or pushes into new categories.
