theguardian.com

Apple is expected to unveil its first folding iPhone at its annual fall event today, marking the most significant iPhone redesign since 2007 and serving as the first major test for new CEO John Ternus, who took the role on September 1. The foldable device, rumored to be named iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra, will open like a passport to double screen size, priced above $2,000, and will lack Face ID due to thinness, offering only Touch ID instead. It follows competitors who have sold foldables since the late 2010s, with a Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold retailing at $1,899. The event, titled "Surprise and Shine," starts at 10am PT in Cupertino, and Apple is also expected to announce iPhone 18 Pro models, Apple Watch and AirPods updates, and its first touchscreen MacBook. Ternus replaces outgoing CEO Tim Cook, expressing excitement about upcoming products in a note to employees.
