Apple is set to unveil new iPhones and Apple Watches on September 9, marking the first major test of John Ternus's tenure after he formally became CEO days earlier. According to TechTrendsKE, the company is also preparing a much broader lineup of products expected across 2027 and beyond, in what is described as Apple's biggest product cycle in years.

Apple is set to launch at least five new iPhone models between the second half of 2026 and the first half of 2027, marking one of its most ambitious product cycles. The company is also reportedly increasing production plans for its first foldable iPhone, according to supply-chain reports.

A significant leak regarding the iPhone 18 Pro has emerged, revealing features such as a Cherry Red finish, a smaller Dynamic Island, and a larger vapor chamber. This leak comes even before the iPhone 17 has completed its first year on the market, indicating a shift in focus towards Apple's upcoming hardware. The timing is notable as Apple has recently regained its position as the leading smartphone manufacturer globally, according to Tech-ish.

Apple launched a new Mac mini on August 25, available in two configurations: one powered by the all-new M6 chip and another featuring the M5 Pro. According to Guru8, Apple describes the update as a massive leap in AI performance aimed at always-on agentic computing, marking a significant jump over previous models. The publication characterises the new chips as the company's most powerful yet for the compact desktop line.

The iOS 27 Developer Beta 2 has addressed significant issues that were present in Beta 1, particularly concerning Wi-Fi connectivity, which had nearly prompted a return to iOS 26. The update appears to have resolved these problems, leading to a more stable user experience, according to Tech-ish.

Apple is set to unveil its latest iPhone at an event scheduled for 9 September, according to htxt.africa. The event will begin at 19:00 South African time, making it accessible for local viewers to follow the announcement live. Details about the new device's features and specifications have not been disclosed in the report.
