Apple to unveil folding iPhone at fall event under new CEO

Apple is set to reveal its latest iPhone at the company’s annual fall event this afternoon, marking the first major product launch overseen by senior vice president of hardware engineering John Ternus, who assumed the role last week. The unveiling is anticipated to be the most consequential hardware update since the original iPhone debuted in 2007, drawing significant attention from analysts, investors, and consumers alike.

According to industry reports, the new device will feature a foldable design that opens and closes like a passport, effectively doubling the screen size while maintaining a compact form factor when closed. The foldable iPhone is positioned as a flagship model that could redefine user interaction and set a new benchmark for smartphones, signaling Apple’s entry into a market segment previously dominated by competitors. The announcement will be closely watched to gauge the company's execution of the technology and its potential impact on the broader mobile market.
