iPhone 18 live blog: On the ground at Apple’s biggest event. Image source, ReutersImage caption, Apple unveiled its new iPhone Duo as part of a launch event in Cupertino, California on WednesdayBen Wood, chief analyst at technology research firm FDM CCS Insight, said it was likely Ternus's promotion was timed specifically "to coincide with what will be arguably one of the biggest iPhone launches for many years".
What happened
It's not just time for any old Apple event, but one that's expected to usher in a new era for the company. This is the first iPhone keynote to be led by Apple's newly anointed CEO John Ternus, and all signs and rumors have been pointing to it being the one that also debuts a […] ByKali Hays, Technology reporter and Lily Jamali, North America Technology correspondentPublished9 September 2026Updated 10 September 2026Apple has launched its most expensive iPhone ever – a foldable handheld that costs at least £1,999 and marks the first major iPhone design change in almost 20 years.
Altering the design of the iPhone may address some criticism that Apple has yet to land a major product hit or truly exciting innovation since the first iPhone came out in 2007. Apple also revealed on Wednesday the new iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, which in the US start at $1,199 and $1,299 respectively. Chatterjee said the foldable iPhone could go the way of Apple's Vision Pro headset, which the company priced at $3,699 and has not been a hit with buyers.
Or, he said, it could be the company's next Apple Watch which, while not as popular as the iPhone, is bought by millions of people each year. The way people have become accustomed to the way the iPhone operates is another potential hurdle to Apple seeing big sales of the new design.
The wider picture
The iPhone has been Apple's top-selling product and accounts for more than half of the company's sales each year. Ternus referred to new AI-enabled capabilities on the iPhone as an "intelligent personal hub", and admitted that Apple would be making use of "the most private details of your daily life".

Unlike Samsung’s slender Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra or squat models such as Apple’s iPhone Duo or the Galaxy Z Fold 8, the Pixel has the same ratio screen as Google’s slab phones and so handles precisely like them when shut with a bright and smooth 6.
