In addition to hardware, Apple will also announce the release dates for its next batch of software updates, including: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, watchOS 11, visionOS 2, and macOS Sequoia.
The smartphone market is heating up with the launch of several foldable smartphones, including Samsung’s Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Flip. While other major players in the phone market have launched their foldable phones, Apple has yet to officially join the game.
There have been a lot of rumors about the iPhone Fold, suggesting that it could be an iPhone that folds open like a book to create a large screen. But there's another option, too.
Instead of a book-style iPhone, there's been some talk of a smaller iPhone called the iPhone Flip. This would look like a standard iPhone when opened, but it could fold in half, making it more compact.
