iPhone 18 Pro ‘Surprise and shine’ event: How to watch live on September 9
Apple has set the date for its biggest event of the year, and the product launch that kicks off John Ternus’s CEO era.
The iPhone 18 Pro event will happen September 9 at 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT.
Press are invited to an in-person viewing at Apple Park, but the event will be streamed live for viewers around the globe. We’re expecting a pre-recorded video, as has become Apple’s norm.
You can watch the ‘Surprise and shine’ September event in several ways:
- Apple’s YouTube channel via this livestream
- Apple TV app on any device
- Apple’s Events website
What’s coming at the September event? iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Ultra, new Apple Watch models, more
We’re expecting a packed slate of new products at Apple’s September 9 event. Here’s everything rumored to be coming:
iPhone
- iPhone 18 Pro: Big camera upgrades, A20 Pro, new colors, updated Dynamic Island, more
- iPhone 18 Pro Max: Larger battery, possibly exclusive camera feature
- iPhone Ultra: First-ever foldable model
Apple Watch
- Apple Watch Series 12: Upgraded S-class chip, more health features
- Apple Watch Ultra 4: New health sensors, design updates, more
AirPods
- AirPods 5: New models with and without ANC
- No model with cameras, despite a recent leak
Home
- New Apple TV 4K: Apple Intelligence-ready with Siri AI
- HomePad: Smart home hub
- HomePod mini 2: Upgraded chip with Siri AI support
Out of all the rumored products, the iPhone and Apple Watch models are the safest bets. The September event always centers heavily on those two products. But according to Mark Gurman, AirPods 5 and new Home products seem likely to make appearances as well.
If all of the above products do launch on September 9, it will be quite the kickoff event for new CEO John Ternus.
